Name: Coil
Move 1: Coil
Move 2: Body Slam
Move 3: Roost / Dragon Tail
Move 4: Bite / Rock Slide / Roost
Item: Leftovers / Heavy Duty Boots
Ability: Serene Grace

Tera Type: Fairy / Poison
Dudunsparce has been proven to be a potent Pokemon in PU and when using Coil, Dudunsparce can utilise its decent natural bulk. It uses this to its advantage by utilising Body Slam and Roost; this makes it a good setup sweeper due to being a sweeper with recovery and the capability to status opponents. With the second given EV spread, Dudunsparce can outspeed every non-Choice Scarfed Pokemon excluding Hisuian Electrode. The 84 Atk EVs and the Adamant Nature means that Dudunsparce is guaranteed to kill Scarf and Specs Florges in two hits with Body Slam. The Def EVs are useful for having a higher chance at living Curse Arcanine’s Flare Blitz in two hits. Rock Slide is useful to hit Fire types such as Hisuian Typhlosion, Salazzle and Rotom-Heat as they can either threaten Dudunsparce with a burn or hit it with a powerful stab move such as Fire Blast. Bite can hit Ghost-types such as Hoopa, Houndstone or Golurk. Dragon Tail on Dudunsparce is used to force out prominent threats to Dudunsparce such as Tauros-Paldea-Blaze, Decidueye-Hisui and Emboar. Dudunsparce more typically runs Leftovers due to the reliable recovery it provides. Heavy Duty Boots are nice to be immune to entry hazards when you do have Roost. Tera Fairy and Poison are more standard, as they both negate the weakness to fighting and turn it into a resistance. Poison could be considered better due to not being weak to steel. Tera Poison also provides an immunity to Toxic, However Tera Fairy is nice for resisting the very common Dark types in the meta currently, such as Zoroark, Bombirdier and Scrafty.
Dudunsparce usually wants a partner that takes advantage of the paralysis that Dudunsparce spreads. Some examples of this are slower threats such as Rhydon or Florges. It can also work with other paralysis users such as Uxie, Alolan Persian and Grimmsnarl. Other good partners for Dudunsparce are Pokemon that can easily revenge kill opponents since when facing Dudunsparce, the opponent will likely be paralyzed and weakened. Examples of this are Zoroark, Bruxish and Choice Scarfed Decidueye-Hisui. All of these partners profit off of Dudunsparce weakening the opponent, and paralyzing them, so that they can either setup, or just get a simple revenge-kill. These Partners can pick off mons which are defensive walls such as Tinaktuff, Rhydon and Naclstack.
