Strategy Overview

At first glance, Duskull may seem like a great wall, but due to its abysmal HP, and its weakness to the ever-present Knock Off, it makes for a mediocre wall at best. Duskull has to rely on status to KO foes, which is not a very effective strategy, as Duskull has no reliable recovery. Duskull finds itself being dead weight for most teams, as it is outclassed in almost everything it can do and cannot successfully harm most of the LC metagame. Duskull's few strengths do not outweigh its many weaknesses, leaving it a poor choice for a slot on a team. That being said, Duskull can be used effectively on some stall teams that rely on entry hazards.
