Dusclops in Pokemon Winds & Waves

Evolution relative Duskull spottedReviewed Oct 13, 2026

Dusclops is on our Winds and Waves list because its evolution relative Duskull was spotted in the announcement trailer. Dusclops itself was not spotted in the official material we reviewed (as of Oct 13, 2026).

We reviewed the announcement trailer gameplay (1:28 to 3:00) and 19 official site screenshots. Official media released later may show more.

Pokedex Entry

There are rumors that peeking inside its bandage-wrapped body will cause one to get pulled in through the gaps between the bandages, never to return. I’ve been too scared to verify.

Game Availability

Since Ruby & Sapphire, Dusclops has been in 16 games. Requiring a trade evolution to obtain means it's consistently available but requires more effort than simply catching it in the wild.
