Strategy Overview

  • Dugtrio, although one-dimensional, finds its niche in the Ubers tier as a trapper that can reliably OHKO Magearna and offensive variants of Primal Groudon and Necrozma-DM.
  • Dugtrio also has some support moves such as Memento and Toxic that can be useful for the team after its main job is done.
  • Dugtrio's Speed tier lets it outspeed all of its targets if they are unboosted.
  • Sadly, Dugtrio's utility after its job is done is near zero, considering its mediocre Attack stat and fragility.
  • It also takes the Z-Move slot, which can be used better by another Pokemon like Necrozma-DM, Ultra Necrozma, or Lunala.
