DusclopsVivid Voltage #70 Pokémon Card

Dusclops is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in the third generation, evolving from Duskull and later evolving into Dusknoir when traded holding a Reaper Cloth. Known as the Beckon Pokémon, Dusclops possesses a truly unsettling physiology: its body is entirely hollow. Its hands are not hands in the traditional sense, but rather bony, segmented appendages that resemble large, skeletal claws, which it uses to hypnotize prey. The red eye on its chest is its true eye, allowing it to see in all directions. According to the Pokédex, when Dusclops opens its mouth, it sucks in everything around it as if it were a black hole, making it a formidable and terrifying presence. It typically inhabits dark places such as caves, abandoned buildings, and graveyards, preferring solitude. Dusclops is a nocturnal Pokémon, often seen floating silently through its territory, its singular eye glowing ominously. In the games, Dusclops is known for its high defensive stats, making it a sturdy opponent. In the anime, it has been featured in various episodes, often showcasing its ability to manipulate space and its intimidating presence. Its design, reminiscent of a mummy or a shrouded phantom, contributes to its cultural significance as one of the more iconic and spooky Ghost-type Pokémon. Its evolution into Dusknoir adds another layer to its lore, tying it to the Spirit World and the guidance of lost souls.
