      Shadow Duskull is a Ghost-type Shadow Pokémon and the first of a three-stage evolutionary line. Needless to say Duskull’s stats aren’t anywhere near that of any fully evolved Pokémon and it should not be used as a raid attacker.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      To start off, with a max CP of around 700, there's no way Duskull, in any form was going to perform well in the three main leagues. And even in the Little Cup, Pokémon already have very little HP and faint easily and the shadow bonus makes Duskull way too frail to even be halfway decent.
