Duskull, Dusclops, and Dusknoir will all have costumes during this event. Pokémon will wear cempasúchil crowns to celebrate Día de Muertos. These variants have never been seen in the game before, so players should make sure to grab them while they're around. Duskull can be caught in the wild, from Field Research, Incense, or Raids during the event, and then evolved into the other two Pokemon.
