How to Evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Want to evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir in Pokémon Legends: Arceus? Here's what you need to know.

For as long as Pokémon has been around, there have been some creatures that have special requirements before they undergo an evolution. While Dusclops hasn't always had an evolution, in Gen IV, this spooky Pokémon received its own evolved form - Dusknoir.

Previously, Dusclops needed to have been traded whilst holding a Reaper Cloth in order to evolve in Dusknoir. But, with Pokémon Legends: Arceus and its focus on the single-player experience, that's no longer necessary. This means that certain Pokémon who would usually need to be traded to evolve, like Machoke or Haunter, can also use something else in order to change forms.

Here's what you need to know about evolving Dusclops into Dusknoir in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

How to Evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

To evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, players will still need to make use of the Reaper Cloth but you'll no longer have to do any trading. 

To get your hands on a Reaper Cloth, players can purchase one from the Trading Post/Item Exchange shop in Jubilife Village. It costs a fairly hefty amount of Merit Points, which players can obtain by returning the lost satchels of other players out in the world. 

There's also a slight chance that players can pick one up from a space-time distortion.

After obtaining a Reaper Cloth, with Dusclops in your party you'll see that the item is compatible. Use it on your Dusclops to trigger the evolution into Dusknoir. The item is single-use, however, so be sure to use it on the right Dusclops. Once used, you'll need to find another one if you want to trigger another evolution.
