I'd slightly extend the dustox description too, shield dust is not the "only thing" that makes it different from other QD users. Dustox's typing is actually a good defensive typing (unique among QD users) and with roost and a kee berry the thing can actually become hard to break down and impossible to stop.

I was using Kee Berry for the longest time on Dustox, but I ended up scrolling down in the teambuilder in the moves section and saw that it got Iron Defense. A QD / Iron Defense / Roost / Bug Buzz set is a lot better. And yes Dustox is amazing.

Cottonee, Solid defensive typing backed by Eviolite despite poor bulk. Prankster + great utility moves such as Light Screen, Reflect, Memento, Leech Seed, Taunt, Tailwind, and Encore.

Scraggy, Great offensive typing that is only resisted by Fairy-types. Fairly bulky with Eviolite which gives it good set up opportunities alongside Shed Skin. Bulk Up or Dragon Dance are both viable set up options. Moxie is great versus slower teams too.

Vullaby, Very difficult to break with an Eviolite in-tact. Overcoat, Defog, Roost, Knock Off, Whirlwind, Foul Play, and Taunt are its most notable tools.
