Duskull is a Ghost-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 3. It evolves into Dusclops starting at Level 37, and Dusclops can later evolve into Dusknoir when traded holding a Reaper Cloth in many games.
Competitive Overview
Duskull is usually more useful in early-game play, Little Cup style formats or as part of an evolution path rather than as a fully developed competitive Pokemon. Its Ghost typing and defensive tools can still give it niche utility.
Duskull’s strengths include its immunities to Normal and Fighting-type moves, access to disruptive moves and useful abilities such as Levitate or Frisk depending on the game. Its main limitation is its low overall stats before evolving.
