'''Dusknoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨノワール''' ''Yonoir'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


==Biology==
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dusclops}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[Reaper Cloth]]. It is the final form of {{p|Duskull}}.
===Physiology===
Dusknoir's body is mostly black, with two almond shaped eye-like markings and a yellow horizontal zigzag line on this Pokémon's torso which can open like a mouth (creating the illusion of a face) and fire a powerful attack. Dusknoir has now developed arms. Two yellow bands are near its black wrists and its gray hands are similar to Dusclops's. Dusknoir has a gray, cylinder-shaped head with another yellow band near the top and a single black eye with a yellow iris and a red pupil. Dusknoir has a ghostly tail instead of feet like Dusclops, resembling the stereotypical depiction of a genie. Dusknoir has a yellow antenna on top of its head in which allows this Pokémon to receive transmissions from the spirit world which tell it to bring people there. In addition, it may have ties to the Grim Reaper, as the player needs a [[Reaper Cloth]] in order for it to evolve.


====Gender differences====
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)
None.


====Special abilities====
==Biology==
[[File:477Dusknoir Dream.png|thumb|200px|left|Dusknoir with its mouth open]]
Dusknoir is a primarily black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that somewhat resembles a cyclops. Its cylindrical head is light gray with a single eye that has a yellow iris and a red pupil. Its eyelid resembles a smiling mouth, with its red eye being a tongue. There is a yellow band near the top of its head, and a short, yellow antenna with a disc-shaped tip extends from on top. Six flat projections extend from the base of its neck and surround its head, resembling an {{wp|upturned collar}}. Dusknoir has well-developed arms with two yellow bands near its wrists and large, gray hands. On the front of its torso are two almond-shaped markings, and on its back are two circular markings. Both sets of markings resemble eyes. A yellow band encircles its body, zigzagging along the front and forming a long curve around the back. It has a wispy tail in place of feet.


===Behavior===
The antenna on Dusknoir's head allows it to receive transmissions from the [[Ghost World|spirit world]], which tell it to bring people there. Dusknoir usually appears to those who are dead and bring their souls to the afterlife. Because of this, people highly fear Dusknoir. Sometimes, Dusknoir may accidentally take away the souls of those still alive, though this rarely happens. However, [[DP090|the anime]] has shown it protecting innocent people from being taken to the spirit world. It is unknown if Dusknoir has a will of its own, or if it is forced to follow the bidding of the transmissions it receives. The band on its body can open, similar to a mouth. Dusknoir is capable of using its belly mouth to swallow its target whole. It also uses this ability to take spirits into its body and carry them home or as it travels to unknown places. Dusknoir only consumes spectral essence, leaving only the empty remains of living beings untouched.

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Dusknoir is an antagonist in the game. He appears to the party as a revered explorer who helps capture Grovyle, but he is really a Pokémon from the future sent by Primal Dialga to prevent time from flowing properly.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky}}: {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}} is a major character in the main story line where he travels to the present from the future to hunt down {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} and the {{player}} to prevent them from changing the future. He also stars in the Special Episode [[In the Future of Darkness]].
* {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}: Dusknoir is used by [[Blake Hall]] in an attempt to thwart the player.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: The same Dusknoir from Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky appears as a recruitable character after completing his request via the [[Connection Orb]].

* While the ''face'' on Dusknoir's stomach seems to have an angry expression, the face on its back appears to be smiling.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly {{wp|cyclops}}. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the Yamawarawa may have been the inspiration for this Pokémon.
Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly {{wp|cyclops}}. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the {{wp|Yamawaro}} may also have been the inspiration for this Pokémon. Like Dusclops, due to its round shape and a single eye, it may also be based on the {{wp|Chōchin-obake}}, while it guiding lost spirits to the spirit world is similar to the {{wp|Death (personification)|Grim Reaper}} guiding deceased people to the {{wp|afterlife}}. The face on its belly may be based on {{wp|Jack-o-lantern}}s. Its ability to receive transmissions from the world of spirits may be based on paranormal explanations for {{wp|Electronic voice phenomenon#Explanations and origins|electronic voice phenomena}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Dusknoir's name is derived from ''{{wp|dusk}}'' and ''{{wp|black|noir}}'', which is French for the word ''black''. Yonoir is a combination of 夜 ''yo'' or ''yoru'', ''night'', and ''{{tt|noir|black}}''. Its German name, Zwirrfinst, comes from ''{{tt|Zwielicht|twilight}}'', ''{{tt|wirr|chaotic}}'' and ''{{tt|Finsternis|darkness}}''. Its French name, Noctunoir, comes from ''{{tt|nocturne|nocturnal}}'' and ''{{tt|noir|black}}''.
Dusknoir may be a combination of ''dusk'' and ''noir'' (French for black).
 
Yonoir may be a combination of 妖魔 ''yōma'' (ghost) or 夜 ''yoru'' (night) and ''noir''.
