Dustox (Update)

[Plusle]

Someone has to do this as this was long out of date. I tested it and this is the best it can do. I wrote the whole thing even if it is QC rejected as it is not that long.

[SET COMMENTS]
Dustox has decent Special Defense and can make a decent Toxic Staller. Roost helps it recover health. Light Screen means that Dustox can take a hit. Sludge Bomb is your main attack.

[Additional Comments]
Hidden Power Fire is good for Steel Types whilst Bug Buzz gives you a secondary STAB.

[Team Options]
Dustox appreciates Rapid Spin to prevent Stealth Rock. Magneton can take out Steel Types who are immune to Poison. Any Physical attackers can take out Special Walls.

[Optional Changes]
Whirlwind can be used to Phaze out Stat uppers and U turn can be used to scout.

[Counters]
Steel types are good counters as they are immune to Poison. Anything with good Special Defense can take a hit and retaliate killing Dustox.
