Strategy Overview

Having received the lowest rank in terms of viability by community consensus, Dusclops is far too passive to be used on a standard UU team. Extremely high defenses are somewhat offset by unreliable recovery options and low HP to the point where Night Shade can KO Dusclops before its typical Rest cycle ends. However, because of its spinblocking status and somewhat niche movepool, it can be of use to stall teams where its lack of offensive presence barely hinders the team. It would also be wise to remember Dusclops's useful typing which allows it to counter the prominent Fighting-types. Before you use Dusclops, always consider other Ghosts like Sableye and Cofagrigus, both of which generally outclass Dusclops.
