Dusclops is a Ghost-type Pokemon that trainers can evolve into Dusknoir while playing Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Dusclops has seen a rise in competitive play over the last few years, leaving its final form of Dusknoir in the dust. Trainers are still likely to evolve Dusclops to obtain Dusknoir for the sake of their Pokedex.

If you want to evolve your Dusclops, first you will need to obtain one. From there, you will need to trade Dusclops to another player with a Reaper Cloth and have it traded back once it evolves.

Dusclops can only evolve into Dusknoir when traded holding the Reaper Cloth. This means you need to find someone to trust to trade with in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

With the Reaper Cloth given to Dusclops, trade it with your friend. It will evolve into Dusknoir once your friend receives it. Then have your friend trade it back so the Dusknoir is yours.
