Dustox is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, evolving from Cascoon, which itself evolves from Wurmple. This unique evolutionary line is notable because Wurmple can evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon depending on its personality value, making its final form either Beautifly or Dustox. Dustox is known for its nocturnal habits, often found fluttering around streetlights and in forests after sunset. Its wings are covered in a fine, toxic dust that it can scatter to protect itself from predators or when agitated. In the wild, Dustox primarily feeds on leaves, using its keen antennae to find its preferred foliage in the dark. In the Pokémon anime, Jessie of Team Rocket famously owned a Dustox, which she eventually released to allow it to find a mate and live freely, highlighting its natural behaviors and the emotional bonds trainers can form with their Pokémon. Dustox’s dual typing gives it resistances to Fighting, Poison, Bug, and Grass types, but also makes it vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Rock-type attacks. Its role in the games often involves providing early-game Poison and Bug-type coverage, and its design, resembling a large, colorful moth, has made it a memorable creature for many fans.
