Dusknoir evolution

Pokémon GO has no evolution levels: a Pokémon evolves when you spend Candy on it (sometimes with an item or a task), at any level.

Dusknoir evolves from Dusclops for 100 Duskull Candy and a Sinnoh Stone.

Dusknoir is the last stage of its family: it does not evolve further.

Family: Duskull · Dusclops · Dusknoir
