• Ghost Attacker:HexPoltergeist

⚔️ Raids

Dusclops is the second of a three stage evolutionary line and is more defense-oriented to boot. As such, it's just not a good raid attacker. Its damage output is simply too low to compete with stronger Ghost-types. Its poor Attack stat leaves it ineffective in Raids and only passable on defense, so evolving it is usually the best way to get more value from the family.

🛡️ Gyms

Dusclops is a bit more interesting on defense because its high Defense lets it soak hits better than its low CP might suggest. In practice, Dusclops can stall attackers for a little while, but it usually does not pressure them enough to justify a Gym slot over stronger defensive options.

• Great League:HexIce PunchShadow Punch

🔵 Great League

Dusclops is a solid pick for the Great League. It has a rather noticeably high defense stats, allowing it to survive and hang around for a good while. It also has hex and multiple spammy "Punch" charged attacks to choose from.

Though what makes it solid but not among the best is that it faces stiff competition from other Ghost-types such as Mimikyu and Galarian Corsola. Its damage output is rather lacking and its pure Ghost-typing makes it somewhat unpredictable.

🟡 Ultra League

With 1799 CP, Dusclops is too weak for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

With 1799 CP, Dusclops is far too weak for the Master League.
