Is Dusknoir the shittiest Ghost type ever?

>Two useless abilities
>Underwhelming stat increase, just 5 points to defenses from Dusclops and 100 Attack that it can hardly use without STAB
>Gets cucked by Dusclops in Gen V thanks to Eviolite
>Overdesigned garbage that ruons Dusclops and is living proof of the "stripes and spikes and patterns omg so overdesigned" meme

There's actually literally nothing redeeming about it... Wow.

I'd agree he's one of the worst ghost types out there, and possibly the worst out of all the past mons that got an evolution in Gen IV.
I still love him because of the mystery dungeon series though.

Duclops was one of my favorite pokemon.

Dusknoir, not so much.

While I am generally a fan of the other cross gen evolutions, this is one I cannot get behind. The Design is a pretty radical departure from the skull and mummy we had before. It's head isnt bad but nipple eyes and belly mouth are just weird.

I hope that we either get a branched evo off dusclops that keeps the skull/mummy theme or Dusknoir gets a mega that gives it an interesting ability, movepool, stat distro, and overall design change.

Pressure isn't a terrible ability but if we get a mega I think it would be something like Iron Fist or Sheer Force. Hell, even Shadow Tag would would since the Dex says it is the gripper pokemon and pulls people into the ghost world.

I was always meh with the Dus family but Mystery Dungeon portrayed Dusknoir in a pretty good way. I sort of like it I guess after that.

Lol, are you kidding? Dusclops was only better in Gen 5. Now with Knock Off running rampant, Dusknoir has a better viability ranking than Dusclops. They are bad overall but Dusknoir is certainly better in battle.

As for the design, you can like whatever you like most, theres no consistent theme in the line anyways.

Max HP max Attack is usually all you need since you get prankster and can keep priority with Shadow Sneak.

It's okay since Dusclops already ruined Duskull

No fucking STAB

at least Aegislash can go special so he has a ghost move to use. Dusknoir doesn't.

Fuck Shadow Punch and Phantom Force. Just make a new 90BP physical Ghost move with as much as universal compatible as Shadow Ball instead of a bite/punch which just limits distribution. Grass already had a 90BP physical move in Leaf Blade and they went and made Petal Blizzard this generation.

You know, I have always really liked Dusclops since the RSE days, and Dusknoir is perfect for me since the momment that I saw it, /vp/ is the only place that I see this pokemon being bashed.

Even if Dusknoir is shit in battle, it's still a bro that helps others.

As a Dusclops fan, I'm thankful for Dusknoir because I get to put Eviolite on 'Clops now. But yeah, he's hideous.
