[OVERVIEW]
Despite having a decent HP stat, all of Dunsparce's other stats are so low that it isn't viable in PU, especially since it has very poor Speed and no way to boost it. Apart from that, it is outclassed as a bulky Pokemon by Audino and Type: Null thanks to their better defensive attributes, and as an offensive Pokemon, Kangaskhan and Stoutland are able to deal much more damage while having better abilities as well. Instead, Dunsparce has to rely on luck to annoy its foe and is much more passive than its Normal-type counterparts.
[SET]
name: ParaFlinch
move 1: Glare
move 2: Headbutt
move 3: Roost
move 4: Coil / Rock Slide / Substitute
item: Leftovers
ability: Serene Grace
nature: Adamant
evs: 252 HP / 36 Atk / 220 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
Dunsparce is able to outspeed almost all unboosted paralyzed foes and hit them with STAB Headbutt, giving the foe only a 30% chance to attack back due to paralysis and a Serene Grace-boosted flinch chance. However, because Dunsparce's Attack is so low, this set is completely walled by Rock- and Steel-types like Aggron, Regirock, and Alolan Sandslash and is straight up useless against Ghost-types like Jellicent and Oricorio-G. At the same time, this is outclassed as a pure ParaFlinch set by Sawsbuck, which has higher Attack and Speed, a Grass-type move in Horn Leech, and a larger movepool to hit more foes. Examples of better Normal-type Pokemon are Stoutland and Kangaskhan, since they can directly hit Ghost-types thanks to Scrappy and don't rely on luck to deal a lot of damage.
