Duskull in Pokemon GO

A brand new Special Research story called Nothin’ Dull About Duskull has arrived for the Pokemon Go October Community Day, and we’ve got details of all the tasks and rewards you can unlock.

In celebration of spooky season, the Ghost-type Duskull is the star of the October 2021 Community Day, meaning Trainers can enjoy several bonuses and stock up on Duskull Candy to evolve Duskull into Dusclops and Dusknoir.

There’s also a Special Research story that can only be unlocked during Community Day event hours. In order to get your hands on this, you’ll need to purchase a ticket from the in-game store for $1 – or the equivalent price in your currency.

Below, we’re going to run through all of the tasks to help you complete the Nothin’ Dull About Duskull Special Research story, as well as the rewards you can earn for completing each step.
