Dudunsparce's great special bulk, pure Normal-typing, role compression with entry hazards, and the ability to spread status effectively make it a strong and useful special wall and pivot. Dragon Tail provides valuable phazing and lets Dudunsparce counter a plethora of setup sweepers in a pinch, like Salazzle and Florges post-Terastalization, and it synergizes well with Stealth Rock to rack up entry hazards damage. Toxic turns Dudunsparce into an even better status spreader, Poisoning foes immune to Body Slam paralysis like Bellibolt and Golurk. Rock Slide may seem like an enticing option for the fabled ParaFlinch strategy; however, Dudunsparce is too slow to take advantage of it versus most offensive Pokemon like Paldean Tauros-F and Galarian Articuno. Tera Dragon helps it check powerful Grass-, Fire-, and Water-types like Rotom-C, Rotom-H, and Floatzel better, while Tera Poison sheds its Fighting weakness for a resistance that lets it handle Hisuian Decidueye better while making it immune to Toxic and still letting it deal with Grass-types.

Dudunsparce fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to check strong special attackers like Salazzle and Hoopa while not being too passive. Some ideal partners include Fighting-type switch-ins such as Mudsdale, Sandaconda, and Uxie; these all appreciate Dudunsparce being the entry hazards setter on a team, which allows them to fit utility moves like Protect, Coil, and Thunder Wave respectively. In return, Dudunsparce checks threatening special attackers like Goodra and Galarian Articuno for them. Dudunsparce's ability to spread paralysis benefits slow breakers such as Rhydon and Choice Specs Florges, who appreciate being able to outspeed their offensive counterplay like Tastugiri and Delphox. Dudunsparce heavily dislikes Toxic and Will-O-Wisp, so Pokemon that can switch into their common users like Copperajah and Coalossal are greatly appreciated. In return, they offer valuable utility in item removal and Spikes. Spikes in general are also a strong boon for Dudunsparce, as it can rack up more damage with Dragon Tail, so Pokemon like Qwilfish and Alolan Sandslash are useful partners.

Dudunsparce's great special bulk, pure Normal-typing, and the ability to spread status effectively make it a strong and useful special wall. (Its a pretty solid defensive pivot too.) Stealth Rock turns Dudunsparce into an entry hazards setter, allowing it to compress roles on teams that struggle to fit one otherwise. (idt this needs a line on its own, mention this in the first line as a part of why Dudunsparce is so good if you ask me.) Dragon Tail provides valuable phazing and lets Dudunsparce counter a plethora of setup sweepers in a pinch, like Salazzle and Florgess Florges post-Terastalization, and it synergizes well with Stealth Rock to rack up entry hazards damage. Toxic turns Dudunsparce into an even better status spreader, Poisoning foes immune to Body Slam paralysis like Bellibolt and Golurk. Rock Slide may seem like an enticing option for the fabled ParaFlinch strategy; however, Dudunsparce is too slow to take advantage of it versus most offensive Pokemon like Paldean Tauros-F and Galarian Articuno. Tera Dragon helps it check powerful Grass-, Fire-, and Water-types like Rotom-C, Rotom-H, and Floatzel better (also adds a marginal power boost to Dtail), while Tera Poison sheds its Fighting weakness for a resistance that lets it handle Hisuian Decidueye better while making it immune to Toxic. (and letting it still handle Grass-types.)

Dudunsparce's ability to spread paralysis benefits slow breakers such as Rhydon and Choice Specs Florges, who appreciate being able to outspeed their offensive counterplay like Tastugiri and Delphox. (This is overall good content in the second paragraph, but I feel like you need more examples here. Perhaps mention how Dudunsparce really hates being parad and toxic'd, and likes having partners like Bellibolt and Skunk to swap in and either pivot it in safely or spread knock off to weaken the few Body Slam checks it has and remove boots. You could also mention some spikers like Qwilfish or AlolaSlash, who like Dudun Dragon Tailing to make their spikes overall more effective.) (tldr: good content, just want more good content.)
