Pokémon Adventures

Diamond & Pearl chapter

In Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone III, Fantina's Duskull used its Reaper Cloth to save Diamond and Pearl from a fall.

In Yikes, Yanmega! II, Roseanne revealed that she researched Evolution items while studying Pokémon Evolution, including the Reaper Cloth.

In the TCG

A Reaper Cloth held by Duskull

A Reaper Cloth appears as a held item on the Secret Wonders Duskull card. It allows Duskull to evolve on the turn it is played. This contrasts with other media, in which the Reaper Cloth allows Dusclops to evolve into Dusknoir rather than Duskull to evolve into Dusclops.

Trivia

• The Japanese name of the Reaper Cloth, as well as Dusknoir's Pokédex entries, reference the Ghost World.
