Dusknoir

Dusknoir (Japanese: ヨノワール, HepburnYonowaaru) (DUSK-nwar[1]) is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Biology

Physiology

Dusknoir is a Ghost Pokémon with a semi-humanoid appearance. It has a light gray head with a single red eye, crown like protrusions around its neck and a yellow antenna on top of its head. Its body is covered with gold bands: two bands on each of its arms and one band wrapped around its head. Its stomach has a gold band in a zigzag pattern and two eye-like patterns, forming a face.

Shiny Dusknoir have a much lighter tone of black; the yellow and gold trimmings are retained.

Behavior

Dusknoir are cryptic and eerie beings that are infamous for taking away spirits of both human and Pokémon alike. They appear to be closely connected to the rumored world of spirits and through radio waves receive commands to guide people there. They usually swallow their target whole with the stomach on their bodies, and disgorge their victims' bodies after sucking out their souls. It is never known if they ever have a will of their own.

They sometimes take away souls that are still living beings, although such occurrences are rare.

Natural abilities

Dusknoir can receive radio waves from the world of spirits, and are said to be able to travel between both the spiritual and physical planes.

Evolution

Dusknoir is the final evolution of Duskull. Dusknoir can be obtained by trading a Dusclops while it holds the item Reaper Cloth.

Abilities

Dusknoir can take the soul of a person or a Pokémon, with the help of its head-mounted antenna, it can talk to the souls of dead people.

In this game, Dusknoir plays a good guy in the beginning, when you first meet him. Everybody thinks he is a great and famous explorer. He saves you a few times too. But when you capture the "evil" Grovyle (who's really your partner when you were a human), Dusknoir grabs you and your partner and drags you into another world. You end up battling him and several Sableye before going to Temporal Tower.

In Explorers of Sky special, Dusknoir redeems himself by saving Grovyle twice and aided in the defeat of Primal Dialga in the future.

Trivia

Origin

Dusknoir appears to be based on the Grim Reaper or a shinigami with elements of cyclopes (especially the Japanese Yamawarawa), genies, and chōchin-obake (a type of ghost from Japanese mythology that takes the form of a paper lantern with a face).

Etymology

Dusknoir comes from dusk (late evening) and noir (French for "black").

Yonowāru is a portmanteau of 妖魔 (yōma, Japanese for "ghost") or 夜 (yoru, Japanese for "night") and noir.
