How to evolve Dusclops in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

Into a bigger Dusclops.

Dusclops is a Ghost-type Pokémon found in ruinous areas during the night. It's very skittish and often runs away when spotted. When you've captured one, however, you have to opportunity to evolve it into Dusknoir!

To evolve Dusclops, you need to use an item called a Reaper Cloth. You can purchase it from Simona in Jubilife Village for 1,400 Merit Points. If you’ve been entering Distortions, you might have lucked out and picked up one during those as well.

Dusknoir is a high tank Pokémon with substantial stats on both Sp. Def and Defense. If you're investing Grit Items on it, prioritize these two and their HP. Dusknoir has a good Attack stat as well. However, since most Ghost moves, like Shadow Ball and Hex, are Sp. Atk based, it actually makes a poor Ghost Pokémon.

Still, there's a way to use Dusknoir in battle—just have Zisu teach it at least two punch moves (Fire, Ice, and Thunder) and two more physical ones, like Giga Impact. You can also let it keep Leech Life for long Alpha encounters. As a Ghost-type, it doesn't have a lot of weaknesses.
