===Physiology===
[[File:477Dusknoir Dream.png|thumb|200px|left|Dusknoir with its mouth open]]
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 powerful attacks. Dusknoir now has fully developed arms. Two yellow bands are near its black wrists and its gray hands are similar to Dusclops'. Dusknoir has a gray, cylinder-shaped head with another yellow band near the top and a single black glaring eye with a yellow iris and a red pupil. The tattered fringes of Dusknoir's lapels converge into a shawl collar on its upper chest. Dusknoir has a ghostly tail rather than feet, reminiscent of a genie, or a stylized 'cartoonish' depiction of a ghost. 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.
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.
====Gender differences====
None.


====Special abilities====
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.
Dusknoir possess the ability to receive radio waves from the spirit world, and can also hold lost spirits in the mouth-like hole in its belly. Dusknoir also has abilities typical of a {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, but also has vast physical strength and can perform the [[move variations|elemental punches]].


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
They receive radio signals from the spirit world that tell it to bring people there. In the anime however, a Dusknoir was seen protecting Ash and Angie from being sucked into a portal to the spirit realm by a demon.
Dusknoir evolves from {{p|Dusclops}} and is the final form of {{p|Duskull}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Dusknoir cannot have the ability {{a|Levitate}}, despite the fact that it floats, and its {{p|Duskull|first form}} does.
* In the novelisation of the ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' episode included in the [[Pokémon Annual#2010|Pokémon Annual 2010]], Dusknoir is described on multiple occasions as being metallic.
* Dusknoir and {{p|Gengar}} are the only second evolution {{type2|Ghost}}s. Dusknoir is the only one that is purely Ghost-type. Both [[Evolution|evolve]] from their previous forms by [[trade|trading]].
 
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], while the "face" on Dusknoir's stomach seems to have an angry expression, the face on its back appears to be smiling.
** {{p|Spinarak}} has a similar pattern.
* Dusknoir has the highest Defense and Special Defense out of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Dusknoir is the second [[list of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] non-legendary Ghost-type Pokémon, after {{p|Spiritomb}}. It is, however, the heaviest pure Ghost-type.
* Dusknoir has similarities with {{p|Darkrai}}. They are both portrayed as villains in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, but they are portrayed as misunderstood heroes in their debut appearances in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** Also in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, both Pokémon have the same theme played when battled.
** In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, Dusknoir appears as the boss right before {{p|Darkrai}}. Both Pokémon are used by [[Blake Hall]], [[Team Dim Sun]]'s boss.
* While Dusknoir's name is pronounced "Dusk-nwar" according to English grammar, {{g|Battle Revolution}} mispronounces it as "Dusk-no-are".
* Although Dusknoir has no legs, it can learn {{m|Mega Kick}} because {{p|Dusclops|its pre-evolution}} has legs and is therefore able to learn it by move tutor in the Generation III games. Dusclops can then be [[Pal Park|transferred]] to the Generation IV games and evolved into Dusknoir.
*In the ''{{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}'' special Dusknoir seems capable of using {{M|Rapid Spin}} which is [[Anime move errors|impossible]] for Dusknoir to learn.
*As a Duskull, it had no legs. It gained some as a Dusclops, but loses them as a Dusknoir. The opposite happens for its arms. Duskull has arms, loses them as Dusclops, and gains them back as Dusknoir.
*Dusknoir and {{p|Dusclops|its pre-evolution}} have the most base moves of all Pokémon, with 8.

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}}.
