Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Dusclops is a ghost-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 455 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 25) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Pressure ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Dusclops. Build around what Dusclops actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
