Strategy Overview

Despite having a decent HP stat, all of Dunsparce's other stats are so low that it isn't viable in PU, especially since it has very poor Speed stat. Apart from that, it is outclassed as a bulky Pokemon by Audino and Type: Null thanks to their better defensive attributes, and as an offensive Pokemon, Kangaskhan and Stoutland are able to deal much more damage while having better abilities as well. Instead, Dunsparce has to rely on luck to annoy its foe and is much more passive than its Normal-type counterparts.
