Trivia

Origin

Dusknoir appears to be a ghostly cyclops. A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the Yamawarawa may have been the inspiration for this Pokémon.

Name origin

Yonoir is a combination of yoru (night) and noir (french word for black).

Dusknoir's name is the same as above with dusk replacing yoru.
