PU Dustox

[OVERVIEW]

With its two 4x resistances to Grass and Fighting, an immunity to Toxic, and access to both Quiver Dance and Iron Defense, Dustox can slowly turn into a setup sweeper. However, its typing brings forth several notable weaknesses, most notably to Psychic, Flying, and Rock, that allow Dustox to be overcome by threats such as Mesprit, Dodrio, and Aggron. Dustox also faces fierce competition from Bellossom as a bulky Quiver Dance sweeper, as Bellossom has better offensive stats as well as Strength Sap to restore its health while lowering the target's Attack.

[SET COMMENTS]

Dustox can use its combination of Quiver Dance + Iron Defense + Roost to set up on Pokemon such as non-Stone Edge Hitmonchan. Once Dustox has obtained enough boosts, it can theoretically become a bulky sweeper; however, odds are Dustox will not be given such a chance to set up all the way due to its mediocre defensive stats, proving how much better Bellossom is as a bulky Quiver Dance sweeper despite Dustox's niches such as Shield Dust and its immunity to Toxic.

[OVERVIEW]
With its two 4x resistances to Grass and Fighting, an immunity to Toxic, and access to both Quiver Dance and Iron Defense, Dustox can slowly but surely turn into a dangerous (lol) setup sweeper. However, its typing brings forth several notable weaknesses, most notably Psychic and Rock (flying too), that allow Dustox to be overcome by threats such as Mesprit, Aggron, and Lycanroc. Dustox also faces fierce competition with Bellossom as a bulky Quiver Dance sweeper, as Strength Sap in combination with Giga Drain allows for Bellossom to more reliably restore its health. (mention how dustox's offensive stats fuckin suck so even after boosts it's pretty bad)

For the most part, if Dustox is against a physical attacker it should use Iron Defense and if its against a special attack it should use Quiver Dance, restoring its health with Roost if at low health. Once Dustox has obtained enough boosts, it should attack repeatedly with Bug Buzz to try to mow the opposing team down. (this really seems like more of a thing you'd see in usage tips. condensing this to smth like "it can theoretically become a bulky sweeper late game with this set" would be more concise and to the point) (can talk about its small niche in being toxic immune + shield dust) Odds are however that Dustox will not be given such a chance to setup all the way due to its mediocre defensive stats, again proving how much better Bellossom is as a bulky Quiver Dance sweeper than it.

Dustox also faces fierce competition with Bellossom as a bulky Quiver Dance sweeper, as Strength Sap in combination with Giga Drain allows for Bellossom to more reliably restore its health.(its not rlly the health that's bell's selling point, moreso the ability to lower the foe's atk while healing, along with its better stats all around besides speed)(also mention dustox's terrible offensive stats)

For the most part, if Dustox is against a physical attacker it should use Iron Defense and if its against a special attack it should use Quiver Dance, restoring its health with Roost if at low health. (no need to be this specific, just say something like 'it can set up x and y while having reliable recovery')Once Dustox has obtained enough boosts, it can theoretically become a bulky sweeper; however, odds are Dustox will not be given such a chance to setup all the way due to its mediocre defensive stats, proving how much better Bellossom is as a bulky Quiver Dance sweeper than it despite Dustox's niches such as Shield Dust and its immunity to Toxic.
