With Spooky Season arriving, we can announce that Duskull, the Requiem Pokémon, will be featured during October’s Community Day event! A Ghost type Pokémon for October Community Days has been a common request, so we’re excited to see it happen this year.
Duskull Community Day takes place on Saturday, October 9, 2021, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
Duskull Community Day

- Duskull will be appearing more frequently in the wild! If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny one!

Shiny Duskull Family
Shiny Duskull is a really great, much sought after red shiny, with shiny Dusclops following the same red theme in a slightly more muted tone, whereas shiny Dusknoir is completely different, and instead their previously grey body becomes blue toned.

Conclusion
Our resident PvP experts sadly have bad news for PvP with Dusknoir (Dusclops is better!), but even with a new move, it certainly won’t be making any headway in PvE. While Duskull has been a really popular shiny to hunt in past Halloween events, it is an existing shiny, so we are curious how the Community will feel about this Community Day.
We finally got a ghost for October Community Day, but one we already have as a shiny in game. Let us know how you feel in the comments!
