PvE Analysis

Duskull PvE Analysis

Close

⚔️ Raids

Duskull is a pure Ghost-type and the first of a three-stage evolutionary line. Needless to say, Duskull really doesn't do much in raids. Its stats are just too low, so it's more of a dex filler than something you'd ever want to bring into battle.

🛡️ Gyms

Duskull struggles here too. Like most first-stage Pokémon, it's way too frail to hold up in Gym Battles and usually gets knocked out without much trouble.

PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Duskull's CP doesn't even reach the quadruple digits, so there's no way you're using it in the three main metas. But it IS actually quite solid in the Little Cup. It's just really bulky in the 500 CP format and can survive for a long time and Astonish can be quite a devastating fast attack in the Little Cup as well.

While it is quite good overall, two things to keep in mind: 1. It's not particularly spammy. 2. It has some solid wins such as Galarian Meowth, Skorupi, Binacle, and Pawniard. But it also loses to some of the biggest threats in the league including Bronzor and Vulpix, gotta position it smartly.
