Dustox (Japanese: ドクケイル Dokucale) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

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 with a jagged fringe on its rear. Its tattered, green wings are wide and flat, forming a disc-shape around its body. They have red markings in the form of rings and streaks, a darker green line around the edges, and contain a toxic dust. This Pokémon has two pairs of red, stubby legs and yellow, stylized compound eyes. There is a pair of fuzzy, yellow antennae on top of its head, which are smaller on the female. These antennae are used to seek food. Dustox is nocturnal and is instinctively drawn to light. Swarms are attracted by the bright light of cities where they wreak havoc by stripping the leaves off roadside trees for food. It lives in forests.

Trivia

  • Dustox shares its category with Venomoth. They are both known as the Poison Moth Pokémon.

Origin

Dustox seems to be based on Actias artemis, a Japanese moon moth. Its Shiny color scheme may be inspired by moths that mimic dead leaves.

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.
