Utilistox@ Leftovers
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 6 SpD
Nature: Modest / Calm

- Bug Buzz
- Toxic / Sludge Bomb
- Roost / Psychic
- Light Screen / Hidden Power Fire

This is what you would call a utility set on Dustox. You should easily be able to set up Light Screen with the stats that Dustox reaches. Hidden Power Fire hurts Steelix and Mawile, while Sludge Bomb puts a huge dent in Bellossom. You can use Psychic for Fighting-types, and Bug Buzz for Psychic-types such as Hypno.

SpecsOx@ Choice Specs
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 6 HP
Nature: Modest

- Psychic
- Hidden Power Fire
- Sludge Bomb
- Bug Buzz

Your best bet of using Dustox in UU, as it acquires a 280 SpA stat thanks to the Choice Specs boost. His movepool covers most of his weaknesses, but it is worthless in competitive play.

Usual Counters:

Anything that can outspeed it and hit it for Super Effective damage.

Other Options:

U-Turn could be used to scout out pokemon. But thats about it.

Opinion:

Dustox, the Moth Pokemon. Not many people know the potential of this little bugger in the Under Used tier due to its crap movepool and lackluster stats. This all will make this Pokemon something you would want to stay away from.

Since Dustox is such a short Pokemon (on movesets), I suggest you add more Sub-Sections (Consider adding Opinion). Other then that, this looks like a decent Analysis.

Keep the good work up <333.

Edit: Shaymin is not BL here. Stop following Smogon tiers guys, how much should I repeat this. This is TU. Just replace Shaymin with some other Grass-type (Bellossom).

hahaha wow Dustox is sooo bad xD...I was wondering why there was only two sets, then I looked at his stats and movepool.....loll
Anyways, great analysis , but here are a few minor nitpicks:
