Dusclops

Species          Quote “Its body is entirely hollow. When it opens its mouth, it sucks everything in as if it were a black hole.” — Dusclops' Pokédex entry[src]     C Dusclops   [Edit]   [Talk]

Dusclops<sup>(JPJapanese: サマヨール

Romaji: Samayouru)</sup> is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Ghost type Pokémon introduced in Generation III that evolves from Duskull starting at level 37 then into Dusknoir when traded while holding a Reaper Cloth.

Physiology and Behavior[]

Dusclops is a Pokémon with a roundish gray body with two stubby legs. Its body is hollow and wrapped in bandages. It has a single red eye and three tooth-like projections. It has two wispy, light gray growths coming out of its shoulders and one on top of its head. Its light gray hands appear to be directly attached to its body, though in the anime and in several panels of Pokémon Adventures they can be seen floating independently.

Its body can absorb anything much like a black hole, pulling them through the gaps between the bandages wrapping it. It is unknown what happens when something is absorbed in Dusclops, as nothing ever comes back out. It will wave its hands and use its eye to hypnotize opponents and then force them to do as it wills. Dusclops preys on drifting will-o'-the-wisps, sucking them into its body. It usually lives in thick forests, and is generally active during nighttime.

Pokémon spin-offs[]

Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: Dusclops has its own mini-game on the Sapphire Table, which can be accessed the first time the three Poké Balls in the middle of the table are lit up. Dusclops will not appear until 20 Duskull have been hit. After that, Dusclops must be hit five times to win. However, it will suck up the ball for a brief period if attacked from the front so it must be hit from behind or while it is moving.

In the anime[]

Origin[]

Dusclops seems to be based on the Hitotsume-kozō, a humanoid, Cyclops-like ghost. It also has similarities with the Chōchin-obake — which are one-eyed haunted paper lanterns — and mummies.
