[OVERVIEW]

Dustox is a gambit in PU that tries to overcome its terrible stats by snowballing with incredible setup moves. By utilizing Quiver Dance and Iron Defense, some more passive teams might find that Dustox becomes a menace after a few turns. Dustox needs those few turns to set up however, so against offensive teams the task of finding the 2-4 turns to fully set up before being able to sweep can sometimes be a lot to ask for.
