It evolves from Cascoon starting at level 10. It is one of the final forms of Wurmple.
Biology

Dustox are moth-like Pokémon with purple bodies and usually green wings. These wings have red circles on them and appear tattered. They have yellow antennae and yellow eyes that resemble stylized compound eyes.
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
Habitat
Dustox live in forests, much like its pre-evolutions, Wurmple and Cascoon. In Generation III, they are never seen in the wild, but they can be found that they live in forests in Generation IV.

In the anime
Many Dustox participating in the mating season.
Jessie's Cascoon evolved into Dustox in Seeing is Believing. It was her primary contest Pokémon and also, it was 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 it's antenae, 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.
A shiny Dustox also appeared in Crossing Paths. This Dustox left with Jessie's Dustox and a big flock of Dustox to go mate during the season.
