I don't see either doing anything significant in OU with those offenses. Shelgon's got a nice typing and bulkiness + DD or Claw Sharpen, but it wont do much after 2 DDs besides an Outrage and dying. If any competent Draco Meteor/Outrage is around, Shelgon's kinda screwed. Maybe it'll be good at luring other dragons.I could see both shelgon and metang being really successful using this item.
you haven't faced a competent breloom, it seems.I've been using swords dance Scyther with the evolution stone with a 252 atk, 252 speed, jolly nature and he has been awesome. It makes him really bulky and less frail compared to before. He also makes Breloom look like a total noob as he is 4x resistance to fighting and grass attacks. I then swords dance infront of Breloom's face and proceed to destroy.

nice to know scyther's cracking skulls.
lol subpunch breloom in 5th gen. lol sd breloom with crap coverage. lol!Lol? Scyther owns Breloom if he doesn't have stone edge. Most Brelooms don't have stone edge anyway, so what are you talking about?....And yes, the player I faced knows how to use Breloom, with a subpunch seed bomb set, which does nothing to Breloom. Swords dance mach punch does nothing either.
So I am just wondering, does anyone think the leftovers + more power with dusknoir is worth it in comparison to running a dusclops with prevo stone?
The short answer is, it depends on your team.
I used both briefly, and I preferred Dusknoir, but I'm sure there's teams, movesets, and situations in which Dusclops is the better option.
Dusclops gets props as the only ghost able to spinblock Doryuuzu. However, I really think that both Clops and Noir are outclassed by better Ghosts like Burungeru.
But... It's Dusclops... He's horrible. Better than Noir, but that's like saying Farfetch'd is better than Sunkern.
A wall needs to be able to do something back to what it's walling. And if it's not got Lefties, it needs to have a recovery move.
Dusknoir is not at all like Sunkern. It was an excellent OU in DPPt, only dropping in usage because Rotom-A was better.But... It's Dusclops... He's horrible. Better than Noir, but that's like saying Farfetch'd is better than Sunkern.
