Hi i recently started Diamond again

i'm about to enter Veilstone i have:

Prinlup lv32
Staravia lv30
Cherrim lv30
Gligar lv30 (bred and traded over)
Gallade lv30 (bred and traded over)
Duskull lv30 (bred and traded over)

before Duskull gets to lv37 evolves into Dusclops then traded to get Dusknoir what would be an ideal moveset for him?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Dusknoir comes with a lot of great options to choose from. It can tank, it can toxitrap, it can sweep. Just depends on exactly what you want, I guess. You could try...

Will-o-Wisp
Pain Split
Confuse Ray
Shadow Punch

That's a typical annoyer set. Pretty similiar to what you'd see in a Spiritomb actually. 'Course, you could go more aggressive...

Will-o-Wisp
Pain Split
Ice Punch
Thunder Punch

Boltbeamer...with tank/annoyer properties. Just remember that its attack stat is nothing to scoff at. Dusknoir can do some damage...not to mention it learns all of the elemental punches and Earthquake to take advantage of...

This is the whittling option
Curse
Pain Split
Rest
Will-o-Wisp/Confuse Ray (my preference would be Will-o-Wisp because buring decreases attack, though it is up to you)

This is somewhere between whittling and tanking, a good balance
Pain Split
Will-o-Wisp/Confuse Ray
Shadow Ball/Shadow Punch
Brick Brake (I chose Brick Brake incase the opponant is trying to trump Ghost with Dark)
