Pokemon GO Nothin Dull About Duskull Special Research Ticket Details
A little under three weeks ago, players were getting stuck into the Scalchops to Seamitars Special Research Ticket for the Oshawott Community Day.
Now, as we move into the spookiest month of all, we’re just a couple of days away from the October Pokemon GO Community Day, this time featuring the Ghost-type Pokemon, Duskull.
The event will take place this weekend and will see players have the opportunity to encounter plenty of Shiny Duskulls, as well as participate in lots more activities, including some Special Research.
So, ahead of Community Day, here are all the details you need to know about the Nothin Dull About Duskull Special Research Ticket.

Pokemon Go Community Day: Shiny Duskull, start time and everything you need to know
How to get a shiny Duskull in the Pokemon Go Community Day
Ready to catch a shiny Duskull in Pokemon Go this spooky season? October is associated with Halloween so what better type of Pokemon to spotlight during this month’s Community Day than a Ghost-type. And for October’s Community Day, Niantic will give trainers so many chances to catch Duskull, the Ghost Pokemon from the Hoenn region.
Duskull is a powerful Pokemon in Pokemon Go especially when it’s evolved to its final form, Dusknoir. Dusknoir wasn’t introduced into the franchise until a generation later in the Sinnoh games, and that addition to its evolutionary line has only made the Ghost-type even more popular, and also more difficult to obtain in the mobile game.
Needing a special evolution stone to evolve, there aren’t many Dusknoir out there in the Pokemon Go world but this Community Day, any trainers having a hard time finding this special stone will get a reprieve.
Here’s everything trainers need to know about the Duskull Community Day event in Pokemon Go.
Pokemon Go Duskull Community Day Start Time
Pokemon Go Community Day featuring Duskull will begin Saturday, October 9 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.
In those six hours, trainers will be able to catch as many Duskull that appear in the wild. Incense can be used by trainers to lure more Duskull to their location for three hours, up from the usual one hour. Lure Modules used on PokeStops will also last for three hours.
The increased potency of the Incense is one of the many in-game perks that will be available during the event window. More of these bonuses will be detailed in the section below.
How to Catch Shiny Duskull in Pokemon Go
The Community Day event will automatically have the Ghost-type Pokemon, Duskull, appear more frequently, but it is Duskull’s Shiny form that trainers will want to hunt for this coming Saturday.
The rate of a particular Shiny Pokemon appearing during a Community Day is proven to be increased during the event. According to the Pokemon Go community site, The Silph Road the Shiny odds for any given Pokemon is approximately 1 in 500. However, certain events like Community Day will increase those odds. The Silph Road confirms that the chance of finding a specific Pokemon during its own Community Day is a very doable 1 in 25.
To catch a Shiny Duskull in Pokemon Go during Community Day, trainers simply have to encounter every Duskull found in the wild during the six-hour window. Once a trainer is taken to the capture screen, they will find out if they have found a Shiny or not.
Shiny Duskull has one of the most drastic color changes in all of Pokemon. The Ghost-type changes from its gray color to a red color. For any trainer that doesn’t recognize a Shiny Duskull, it’s best if they look for the Shiny symbol next to the Pokemon’s name during the capture portion of the encounter to make sure.
Trainers can also increase the number of Duskull they encounter by using an Incense as mentioned above.
How to Get Duskunoir with Shadow Ball
Pokemon Go always offers an exclusive move for the spotlight Pokemon so they can do better in PVE and PVP battles. For Duskull, it will learn the powerful Ghost-type Charged move, Shadow Ball, upon evolving into its final evolution, Dusknoir.
To obtain this exclusive move, trainers only have from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time on October 9 to have their Dusknoir learn Shadow Ball.
Duskull needs 25 Candy to evolve into Dusclops and another 100 Candy, along with the Sinnoh Stone, to reach its final evolution, Dusknoir. Trainers will earn 3 Candy for each Duskull caught but can be doubled if a Pinap Berry is used while capturing.
To help trainers who don’t have Sinnoh Stones, Pokemon Go will give players the opportunity to earn up to four Sinnoh Stones by completing free Timed Research during the Community Day event. Be sure to complete them to get at least one to obtain a powerful Dusknoir before the event ends.
Trainers who miss the deadline can use an Elite Charged TM to swap out Dusknoir’s Charged move to Shadow Ball. However, Elite TMs are hard to come by so it’s best if you just get it through the Community Day event.
Pokemon Go Duskull Community Day In-Game Bonuses
During the Duskull Community Day, trainers will enjoy the following in-game bonuses:
3× Catch Stardust
30 Ultra Balls will be available in the shop at no cost. Be sure to pick them up during the event
Take a few snapshots during Community Day for a surprise!
There’ll be a special one-time-purchase Community Day Box available for 1,280 PokéCoins, featuring 50 Ultra Balls, four Incense, four Star Pieces, and an Elite Charged TM.
For $1 trainers will gain access to the Duskull Community Day–exclusive Special Research story, Nothin’ Dull About Duskull.
‘Pokemon Go’: Duskull takes a backseat to stardust for October Community Day
When Niantic announced that Duskull would be the star of October’s “Pokemon Go” Community Day, the response was tepid. The company had to choose a ghost- or dark-type Pokemon to go with the month’s Halloween theme, but the Requiem Pokemon wasn’t a creature that inspires too much enthusiasm for the celebration that runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 9.
First off, it’s a Pokemon that can already be shiny and some players have a few of the variants. Second, the exclusive move available to Dusknoir, Duskull’s final evolution, is Shadow Ball. Although it’s powerful and helps pocket monsters such as Mewtwo, Giratina and Gengar, it doesn’t do too much for the Gripper Pokemon. The charged attack won’t make it a must-have when it comes to raids or Go Battle League. At best, it could be a factor in specialized PvP formats or cups.
That element and the fact that players need a Sinnoh Stones to evolve the creature limits the impact and eagerness for the event. Like other Community Days, players can expect five Duskull photobombs. A special Community Day Box, which features 50 Ultra Balls, four Incense, four Star Pieces and an Elite Charged TM for 1,280 PokeCoins, is an OK deal. The better one will be spending $1 for the Special Research Story, Nothin’ Dull About Duskull.
Because players will need Sinnoh Stones to evolve Duskull to its final form, Niantic will be giving away that item via a free Timed Research tasks during the event. They’re also offering players 30 free Ultra Balls.
Although much of the Community Day will be OK, one element to be excited for is the bonuses. This event features triple catch stardust, which has the potentially to be a boon for all players. If trainers combine triple catch Stardust and activate a Star Piece, players have the opportunity to earn a whopping 9,450 stardust for each quest-stacked Audino. Grabbing those event “Hatch 2 egg” quests before Saturday will also be important. Those “Earn 3 Hearts with your Buddy” tasks also aren’t bad. They reward players with a Meowth encounter that could be worth up to 2,250 stardust.
In addition, Incense and Lure Modules will last three hours if used during the event. If players use the Incense toward the tail end of the Community Day, they can get nearly three hours of spawns. That could be a boon if players are trying to get shiny versions of Explorer Pikachu or Roggenrola.
