PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Hex beats Astonish.

  • Ominous Wind’s STAB is compensated by Dark Pulse’s better parameters, but Shadow Ball* is the top pick.

  • Psychic has no offensive use on Dusknoir.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Hex is again the better fast move.

  • Psychic is a great option with good power and 2 bars, but it leaves Dusknoir easily picked off by Dark Types.

  • Ominous Wind has 3 bars, but Dark Pulse is stronger and harder to dodge.

PVE Overview

Poor Dusknoir, not even a Shadow forme can save you. Even Cofagrigus out-damages you, you poor, poor ghost.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Hex + Ominous Wind and Psychic

Hex has 2 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and 3.66 EPT (Energy Per Turn). It charges fairly well, but it's just not very good overall.

Ominous Wind (50 Power/40 Energy) is not a strong move, but it does have a small chance of granting a stat-boost on use. Psychic (90 Power/55 Energy), meanwhile, is definitely a good move that can allow Dusknoir to threaten Fighting Types in particular. However, it doesn't do much against Dusknoir's counters..

Hex + Ominous Wind and Dark Pulse

The same basic set, but adds Dark Pulse (80 Power/50 Energy) instead. Dark Pulse is a genuinely better move than Psychic, but its coverage profile is so close to Ghost that it may as well be a mono-Ghost set.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 0 / 5

Dusknoir's terribly outclassed in the Great League, and should generally not be used. Its bad moveset, mono-typing, and stats don't meld very well in the tier.

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Once again, Dusknoir is too weak for the Ultra League. With a plethora of other Ghosts in the tier, not the least of which are the two versions of Giratina. 

Master League: 0 / 5

Dusknoir just plainly isn't a good option in PVP.
