Nah, Curse sucks. Dusclops’s HP is already poor, so the opponent can easily take one out at half health before it has a chance to rest.

CM is okay, but you have to make it Bold and max out it’s HP and put a ton into Defense. CM takes care of your special stats.
 
second set sucks.

dusclops @ leftovers
careful nature
EVs: max HP, enough in each defense for them to be even, with maybe a little more SDef. WoW cuts physical attack, so you should be covered.
- WoW
- Pain Split
- Shadow Ball
- SToss/Focus Punch

Curse doesnt suck...You should use Mean Look/Confuse Ray before you use it.

Dont use Night Shade and SToss...they do the same thing

I wouldnt put any attack moves on Dusclops

Rest should be somewhere on your set.
 
Dusclops @ Lefties
Impish Nature (+Def. -Sp. Atk)
Trait: Pressure
- W-o-W
- Shadow Ball
- Seismic Toss
- Pain Split

is an alternative set. it's sorta different, but it's my favorite.
 
arg. brain isn't working, i meant to say shadow ball on my above set, not Night Shade. mad mod got the set, though i like careful better, since you have WoW to protect you from physical attackers.

ML/Curse is wasting moveslots. and curse or confuse ray without ML is just asking your opponent to switch on you, so you lost half your HP and wasted 2 turns, to do 1/4 damage to one of your opponent's pokemon.

SToss is its main way to deal damage. shadow ball is just to hit things that are immune to SToss. since it hits for super-effective damage, it's worth using. also, against a bad alakazam, or if it has enough attack IVs/EVs, shadow ball OHKOs alakazam.

why would it use rest when it has pain split? maybe on the CMClops set, to ditch status, but i don't see the point on the standard set.

My dusclops had:

attract
confuse ray
curse
WoW

...all of those moves can be applied to a single target.Attract the target,if possible,then confuse ray,then WoW,then curse.That's how my dusclops was,I don't believe dusclops is a straight-forward attacker,but ice beam and psychic are also good.........
 
If your going to post a moveset then post EV's its what I asked for if not don't bother posting at all I already know what moveset I'm using(the Calm minding one). And when you do post them post numbers, don't just say put a few in this and a few in that thats not helping.

WW prolly does.
but that's it.


Dusclops (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 64 Atk / 96 Def / 96 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Seismic Toss or Focus Punch
- Shadow Ball
- Pain Split
- Will-O-Wisp
 

I know EVs, but since this is in-game, Dusclops may need more or less EVs in either Defense or Special Defense depending on its IVs.

EVs: 252 HP / 24 Atk / 140 Def / 92 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

Max HP always. It only needs 24 Atk EVs (more or less) to OHKO Alakazam with Shadow Ball and OHKO Houndoom with Focus Punch. The defenses also allow it to survive two unSTABed Shadow Balls or two unSTABed Crunches from around 350 Atk/Sp. Atk.
 

Of course I know EVs. I’ve written a whole guide on my site about them here

Also, I didn’t copy from Smogon. I used Netbattle’s damage calculator to figure out optimal EVs. Check for yourself. A Dusclops with 181 Attack cannot OHKO standard Alakazam with 4 HP Evs because it will still have 1% remaining. But if you add one more point it to make it 182, then it’ll do 100% damage.
