The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Legends: Arceus

    Comes to those whose lives have come to an end and escorts their souls to the afterlife. Known to mistakenly take the souls of those who yet have life left in them, albeit rarely.

  • Shield

    With the mouth on its belly, Dusknoir swallows its target whole. The soul is the only thing eaten— Dusknoir disgorges the body before departing.

  • Sword

    At the bidding of transmissions from the spirit world, it steals people and Pokémon away. No one knows whether it has a will of its own.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    The antenna on its head captures radio waves from the world of spirits that command it to take people there.
