Strategy Overview

Despite its NFE status, Dusclops makes a great candidate to put some balance into your team. Possessing good defensive stats, pure Ghost typing, and a number of supporting moves, Dusclops has carved itself a niche in UU as a bulky spinblocker. Its ability, Pressure, also deters a sweeper's offensive advances, sometimes even forcing them to switch out in order to preserve their precious PP. While Spiritomb appears to outclass Dusclops due to its additional Dark typing and higher base offensive stats, Dusclops possesses greater bulk, as well as access to Trick Room, giving it yet another way to reliably support its teammates. With these numerous advantages, Dusclops can prove to be a valuable member to any standard UU team.
