Dudunsparce is a potent Coil sweeper thanks to its decent natural bulk, typing, and reliable recovery. With Serene Grace and Body Slam, Dudunsparce can reliably paralyze the opposing Pokemon and slow it down. This is beneficial to Dudunsparce due to it having a relatively low Speed stat. Dragon Tail racks up chip damage against walls like Milotic, Galarian Slowbro, and Bellibolt as they try to switch in, and it's useful for phazing opposing setup sweepers like Curse Arcanine and Swords Dance Rhydon. Dudunsparce typically runs Leftovers due to the reliable recovery it provides. However, Heavy-Duty Boots helps Dudunsparce deal with entry hazards, especially Toxic Spikes, and they make it less reliant on hazard removal. Tera Fairy and Poison both turn Dudunsparce's Fighting weakness into a resistance. Tera Poison provides an immunity to poison to help Dudunsparce against Bellibolt and other poison spreaders and improves matchups against Poison-types such as Skuntank, Salazzle, and Hisuian Qwilfish. However, Tera Fairy provides a useful Dark resistance for fows like Scrafty, Bombirdier, and Zoroark.
Dudunsparce typically appears on team archetypes ranging from bulky offense to balance. More specifically, Dudunsparce likes to appear on entry hazard stacking teams and paralysis spam teams where the team has multiple Pokemon that can spread paralysis. Dudunsparce partners well with Pokemon that take advantage of the paralysis, such as Rhydon, Galarian Slowbro, and Florges. It can also work with other paralysis users such as Uxie, Cramorant, and Grimmsnarl. Revenge killers like Zoroark, Bruxish, and Choice Scarf Hiusian Decidueye profit off of Dudunsparce weakening and paralyzing foes and opening up opportunities for them to sweep. These partners also threaten walls to Dudunsparce such as Rhydon and Naclstack. Dudunsparce enjoys having hazard removal on its team such as Altaria, Cramorant, and Tatsugiri due to it not usually running Heavy-Duty Boots on its set. Dudunsparce also profits off having hazard setters as its partners, specifically those that set Toxic Spikes and Spikes because they synergize well with Dragon Tail, either poisoning the opposing Pokemon or racking up large amounts of chip damage. Some examples of Pokemon that set these hazards are Qwilfish, Hisuian Qwilfish, and Skuntank. Furthermore, Dudunsparce also benefits from having partners that check Fighting-types so it doesn’t need to Terastallize to deal with them. Some examples of these partners are Espeon and Florges. Additionally, Dudunsparce likes partners that can deal with status conditions, since it is easily crippled by paralysis and burn due to being a physical attacker. Some examples of these partners are Espeon and Rotom-H. Moreover, Dudunsparce helps Pokemon such as Golurk and Hariyama because they really benefit from the paralysis that Dudunsparce spreads and the chip damage that Dragon Tail provides.
