October 2021 Community Day

The October 2021 Community Day was the forty-sixth Community Day event, featuring Duskull.

Featured Pokémon
Duskull had increased spawn rates in the wild and from Incense or Lure Modules:

There were also five chances per day to be photobombed by Duskull:

Exclusive move
In order to obtain Shadow Ball, Trainers had to evolve Dusclops into Dusknoir after the start of event and up to 2 hours after the end of event. Trainers cannot use TMs to obtain the attack.

Field Research event tasks
There were several Field Research tasks exclusively for the duration of the event.

Special Research
Nothin' Dull About Duskull is a Special Research campaign for Duskull Community Day. It cost $1 to access the Special Research. The Dusknoir in this research would know Shadow Ball if it was caught during event hours.

Hey there, TRAINER! How’ve you been? Things are going well on the research front since a lot of Ghost-type Pokémon have been appearing, but some strange things have been happening lately. You see, while I’ve been compiling my findings on Ghost types in my lab, every once in a while I feel a chill like someone is watching me. I managed to glance a peek and you won’t believe what I saw: a floating Pokémon in my wall! The moment I saw it, it vanished back into the wall. I ran outside but lo and behold—it was nowhere to be found. I believe this to be a Duskull, the Requiem Pokémon! Making itself invisible, it’s known to silently sneak up to prey. It also has the ability to slip through thick walls. Spooky! My findings on Ghost-type Pokémon could really use some research in the field to supplement it! Can you help me learn more about Duskull? Hopefully we can learn more about why it’s sneaking around my lab!

Hey there, TRAINER! Great work researching all of those Duskull. I have an update myself with the Duskull that was visiting me! When I saw it trying to sneak up on me again through a wall, I just shouted, “BOO!” and—what do you know—it disappeared and reappeared again, apparently wanting me to do it again! I started playing peek-a-boo with it and it seemed to enjoy the game. Imagine enjoying playing with others, but you never get to because Trainers are taken back by your appearance. Hmph... I wonder what else we can learn about Duskull? Let’s try evolving it into Dusclops! Also known as the Beckon Pokémon, I hear that it sucks everything in as if it were a black hole, so be careful of its mouth!

Oh wow! Wait, TRAINER, you did WHAT? Oh no, I didn't mean to tell you to feed a berry to Dusclops—I meant to tell you to NOT to do that. There must have been a miscommunication. I'm glad to see that you're here and not sucked into a black hole! And what was that? It just ate the berry normally? Isn't that fascinating! Let’s learn more about its Evolution: Dusknoir, the Gripper Pokémon! Apparently at the bidding of transmissions from the spirit world, it steals people and Pokémon away! And no one knows whether it has a will of its own. Isn't that so curious! Let's go learn more about this for ourselves, shall we? Go ahead and evolve your Dusclops and let me know what you discover.

Oh hello there—AH! SPOOKY! Did you see the Dusknoir behind you? Whether it has a will of its own or not—one thing that's clear to me is that the Dusclops you evolved sure seems quite different now as a Dusknoir! Ghost-type Pokémon are just like any other Pokémon, even the ones that seem the spookiest. I guess if we’ve learned anything today it’s that there’s nothing dull about Duskull or its Evolutions. It’s always such a joy to learn about Pokémon, isn’t it? Thanks for your help today TRAINER. I hope to see you and your Dusknoir again soon!
