How to Evolve Duskull in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is full of cool Pokemon, and the ghost-type ones are some of the best. If you've caught a spooky little Duskull, you're probably wondering how to make it stronger. It’s a bit of a process, but getting its final evolution, Dusknoir, is totally worth it.

So, how do you evolve Duskull? To evolve Duskull, you first need to level it up to level 37 to get Dusclops. Then, to get its final form, Dusknoir, you need to trade your Dusclops to another player while it is holding a special item called the Reaper Cloth.

Getting your Duskull to evolve into Dusclops is the easy part. All you need to do is battle with it and level it up to level 37. Once it hits that level, it will be ready to evolve! You can check its level in your party screen.

I remember when I was leveling up my own Duskull. I spent a lot of time in the Crimson Mirelands, battling all the wild Pokemon I could find. It felt like it took forever, but seeing my little Duskull finally evolve into the bigger, tougher Dusclops was a great moment. It learned some cool new moves right away which really helped me out.

This is where things get a little tricky. To get the awesome-looking Dusknoir, you need two things: a Reaper Cloth and a friend to trade with.

First, let's get the Reaper Cloth. You can find this item in a few ways:

Once you have the Reaper Cloth, you need to give it to your Dusclops to hold. Then, you'll need to find a friend who also has Pokemon Legends: Arceus. I had a bit of a panic moment myself when I realized I needed to trade. My friend and I had to coordinate a time to hop online together, but the process itself was pretty quick. You can trade with friends by talking to the trading post NPC in Jubilife Village. When your friend trades your Dusclops back to you, it will evolve into Dusknoir!

Having a powerful Pokemon like Dusknoir on your team is a huge advantage for taking on the challenges in the game.
