      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      ⚔️ Raids

      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 AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🔵 Great League

      As Duskull is a first stage Pokémon, it struggles to keep up with the meta contenders in Great League. It is best to avoid investing in Duskull in Great League.

      🧸 Little Cup

      Duskull is decent in Little Cup, though Trainers may want to run Duskull with Return in Little Cup. It gets similar number of wins and losses in all shield scenarios.
