Dusclops will evolve into Dusknoir by trading it to another player while it is holding Reaper Cloth.

Have your Dusclops hold Reaper Cloth and trade it with a friend to evolve it into Dusknoir. We recommend doing this with someone you trust as your partner will need to trade the Pokemon back to you once it evolves.
