Can someone give me a good moveset and nature for it?
And also EV's.

[Shur'tugal]

Dusknior@?
Adamant nature

Earthquake
Fire Punch
Shadow Punch/Night Shade
Thunder Punch



or a mixed wall

Dusknior@Leftovers
Bold/Impish nature

Thunder Punch
Fire Punch
Earthquake
Night Shade

[ngm]

I'd prefer a mixed wall. Can I throw Toxic in there somewhere or would that mess it up?

[gymclasshero66]

i think toxic would be a good addition to the moveset......but i wouldnt know which move to get rid of for it...

Dusknoir @ Leftovers
Impish Nature (+Def, -SpAt)
252 HP/176 Sp. Def/52 Def/30 Att
-Will-o-wisp
-Pain Split
-Shadow Sneak/Shadow Punch
-Thunderpunch

Will-o-wisp to cripple most physical sweepers. Pain Split is for healing, and deals a chunk of damage against foes with higher HP. Ghost attack for STAB; Sneak for priority or Punch for power. Thunderpunch for coverage.

Rick's moveset and EV spread is good. I would take Shadow Sneak over Shadow Punch, because although SPunch is more powerful than the Sneak, when you look at it, it's really not all that powerful. The always-attack-1st characteristic seems more appealing in this case.

[johnnyonthespot]

go with ricks, but i would suggest payback over shadow punch/sneak
more powerful than shadow punch, and with painsplit, the need for shadows neak is reduced

[Bulbasaurus Rex]

With Dusknoir's abysmal speed, Payback is a good idea.

Alright so,

-Will-o-Wisp
-Pain Split
-Payback
-Thunder Punch


This is it.:^:

[psidestroyer]

Would you say that pain split is absolutely necessary for Dusknoir?

[WER]

Pain Split is Dusknoir's most reliable method of healing itself, so I would say so.

[Skittleman]

Rest combined with a Chesto Berry (otherwise known as Chesto-Rest) is its only other recovery option, and it's only really good for use once, and it gets rid of Leftovers recovery. Pain Split it the way to go.

He could Sleep Talk, but that's not a good role for him as then you either can't burn things or be a good Anti-Spinner anymore. Why didn't he get Shadow Claw? Why, Gamefreak?!

Dusknoir can do a decent amount of things and is good support for a stall team as well as a decent wall in general. Pain Split is actually kinda nice, doing a good number to things that fail to revenge kill you, like that Weaville you stayed in on.

[Bulbasaurus Rex]

Why didn't he get Shadow Claw? Why, Gamefreak?!It would've made a nice moveset option, but unfortunately, Dusknoir doesn't have claws with which to use it.
