good moveset for dusknoir?
Do you think this is a good moveset for a Dusknoir? I'm new here and I don't really know very much about EVs and IVs, so any suggestions would be great.
Dusknoir/careful nature/focus band Confuse Ray Will-o-wisp Pain Split Shadow Punch/Focus Punch/Protect (not sure about this last move) |
Give him Leftovers and for the last move use Shadow Punch

Don't use shadow punch, since Dusknoir has mediocre attack. Go for Night Shade.
I'll bandy around two interesting sets I've used. Calmnoir Nature: Bold 252 special attack/252 defense/4 special defense Item:Leftovers Calm Mind Pain Split Shadow Ball Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Hidden Power Fighting/Dark Pulse/Focus Blast This is a pretty awesome getup. Once you start Calm Minding, you become a fighting force as an unlikely sweeper with a move that will restore you to full health, and dent the opponent as well. Shadow Ball is your default sweeping move, though hp fighting or focus blast is nice to have something against dark types. Ice Beam or Thunderbolt really only warrant using if you're desperate for type coverage. It needs some time to get started, but once it does you can take and dish out heavy punishment. Pseudohazer Nature: Impish Item: Leftovers 252 hp/120 defense/136 special defense Mean Look Confuse Ray Destiny Bond Night Shade This is something of an unusual Dusknoir that's meant to get a single ko to force a switch and exit to stage right. The idea is that if your opponent has been statbuffing, or proving all around problematic (think of, say, a nasty choice scarfer), you keep using Destiny Bond to force a switch. If they refuse, they lose a pokemon. If they do, whoever comes in eats a confuse ray. From here on in, you can safely use Mean Look to trap them, and either deplete their health with Night Shade or let them knock you out, feinting them with Destiny Bond. Enjoy. |
Mediocre?! Are you serious?!?! His base attack is 100!!! That is nowhere near mediocre. His sp.atk is whats sad. A base of 65 is not great at all.
