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, the other being Beautifly.

Biology

Dustox is a moth-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. It has a purple egg-shaped body and tattered, green wings with red circles and streaks. It has yellow antennae and yellow stylized compound eyes. Its legs are red and stubby, and it has a jagged fringe on its rear. The female's antennae are smaller than the male's.

Dustox uses its antennae to seek out food, and its wings contain a highly poisonous dust. It is nocturnal and is instinctively drawn to light. When it is in swarms, it is attracted by the bright light of cities where it wreaks havoc by stripping the leaves off roadside trees for food. It lives in forests.

Other

A Shiny Dustox appeared in Crossing Paths under the ownership of Austin, who released his Dustox, along with Jessie releasing her Dustox, to breed along with dozens of other Dustox.

Minor appearances

A Dustox owned by a Coordinator appeared in A Fan with a Plan.

Trivia

  • Dustox shares its category with Venomoth. They are both known as the Poison Moth Pokémon.
  • Dustox is the only Poison-type Pokémon that evolves from a non-Poison-type. Thus, if a poisoned Cascoon evolves into Dustox, it will keep the status condition.

Origin

Dustox is based on either Actias artemis, a Japanese moon moth, or its close North American relative, the luna moth.

Name origin

Dustox is a combination of dust (referring to how wing scales are powdery) and toxic.

Dokucale may be a combination of 毒蛾 dokuga (poisonous moth) and scale (referring to wing scales) or gale.
