Flavor

Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

It loves the crying of children. It startles bad kids by passing through walls and making them cry.

Generation 6
X

It doggedly pursues its prey wherever it goes. However, the chase is abandoned at sunrise.

Y

If it finds bad children who won’t listen to their parents, it will spirit them away--or so it’s said.

Omega Ruby

Duskull can pass through any wall no matter how thick it may be. Once this Pokémon chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn.

Alpha Sapphire

Duskull wanders lost among the deep darkness of midnight. There is an oft-told admonishment given to misbehaving children that this Pokémon will spirit away bad children who earn scoldings from their mothers.
