Dustox (Japanese: ドクケイル Dokucale) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Cascoon starting at level 10. It is one of Wurmple's final forms.
Biology
Physiology
Dustox are moth-like Pokémon with vaguely egg-shaped purple bodies and usually green wings. These wings have red circles and streaks on them and appear tattered. They have yellow antennae that resemble Charti Berries, and yellow eyes that resemble stylized compound eyes. Dustox’s legs are stubby and red in coloration, and Dustox has a jagged fringe on its rear.
Gender differences
A female has smaller antennae than a male.
Special abilities
Dustox's antennae are often used to seek out food, and its wings contain a highly poisonous dust.
Behavior
Dustox are nocturnal, and are instinctively drawn to light. Swarms of Dustox are attracted by the bright light of cities, where they wreak havoc by stripping the leaves off roadside trees for food. If attacked as a Cascoon, a Dustox will always remember the face of the attacker, and will seek revenge upon evolution.
Habitat
Dustox live in forests, much like its pre-evolutions, Wurmple and Cascoon.

Major appearances
Jessie's Cascoon evolved into Dustox in Seeing is Believing. It was her primary contest Pokémon and was also known to be able to hold down a good battle. Dustox won Jessie her first ribbon in Team Shocker! at the Solaceon Town Contest.
Jessie's Dustox is seen wearing yellow ribbons on its antennae, the same ribbons Jessie wore in contest. In Crossing Paths she painfully released it, so that it could go off during the Dustox Mating Season. Jessie's Dustox left with a shiny Dustox along with a big flock of other Dustox.
