[Overview]
<p>Dunsparce is a fairly weak Pokemon, and should be left alone due to it's below-average stats and lack of effectiveness. It suffers competition from Bouffalant and Stoutland. However, if you like this Pokemon, or if you favor the mini gimmicks that Dunsparce provides, this Pokemon can be a decent choice. </p>

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This goal of this set is to maximize Dunsparce's Attack and Speed in order to last longer on the battlefield. Body Slam is a decent STAB normal move. Rock Slide is good, however since Dunsparce is fairly slow, it's only really effective in Trick Room. Zen Headbutt is good for dealing with Fighting Pokemon that give Dunsparce trouble. The choice between Protect and Thunder Wave can be a tough one.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The Adamant nature is ideal for Dunsparce due to it's low speed. Chople Berry is good for lasting longer against a Super-Effective fighting move, which threatens Dunsparce the most. One thing that makes Dunsparce decent, is his ability: Serene Grace, an ability that adds the possibility of additional effects. Also, his ability makes Thunder Wave more of a viable choice.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>The other options tag lists other things that the Pokemon can do. This includes, but is not limited to, general purpose changes that can be made to any set, such as using a different ability; moves that aren't really recommended and why; and sets that are decent if used properly, but not successful enough to warrant a full analysis.</p>
<p>You can mess around with Dunsparce's move slots quite a bit. It is possible to have Thunder Wave and Protect, however you would be missing an attack move. Additionally, Body Slam could be an alternate choice for a chance of Paralysis, as well as some steady damage. If you are looking for a different item to use with Dunsparce, the best choice is a Sitrus Berry to restore HP if there are a lack of opposing fighting-type attacks. </p>
[Checks and Counters]
<p>Dunsparce is threatened by common Pokemon such as Terrakion, Hitmontop, and especially Conkelldurr. He works fine in Trick Room, but isn't effective against full fledged weather teams. Also, Dunsparce is vulnerable against the majority of Substitute users if he isn't paired with a strong attacking lead. His greatest asset is his ability, which should be used to your advantage.</p>
