Attacks:
- Sleep Powder
- Stun Spore
- Gunk Shot
Stats and Typing: Abysmal. Non-existant offense, lackluster defense, and mediocre speed, so this moth needs all the help it can get. It's a Poison type however, and also designed similarly to other bug species renowned to have several status moves up their sleeves, so these moves should fit within its arsenal just nicely.
Ability: Compound Eyes is an untapped resource of this flapping bugger. While most other avian bugs received plenty of status moves to choose from, Dustox was left with the default selection: Toxic. All three suggested moves are greatly benefited from this ability as none have perfect accuracy.
Design: How many can look upon this forsaken insect without feeling unnerved? It doesn't look powerful, but it does look menacing, ready to mess up your plans with its tricky schemes. I'd love to have suggested Will-o-wisp due to its overall creepy appearance, but I decided not to get greedy.
Need: It needs them. It really does. Any reliable sleep inducer can be a welcome addition to most teams, and to not be completely harmless, Gunk Shot can put a dent in many opponents, and possibly poison them if you haven't already pinned a status effect upon them.

As you said, any fighter would benefit from Close Combat, and Hi Jump Kick is a much more appropriate move as his legs constitute a large part of its body. I'd say Infernape is a mon which the move was designed for as it can easily use all of its limbs to fight with equally well, and while Blaziken would certainly make good use of it, I see no reason why he
should have it.
