Strategy Overview
Dugtrio once ran rampant in OU due to its Arena Trap ability, but now that that's gone, it doesn't have a niche anymore. Down in PU, its abysmal bulk and mediocre Attack result in Dugtrio failing to carve out a niche; even Alolan Dugtrio does a better job at the roles Dugtrio tries to fulfill, partly due to its access to STAB Steel-type moves. There's not much reason to use Dugtrio over any other Stealth Rock user, Ground-type, or even suicide lead, and it's thus not viable in the PU metagame.
