Is it a good idea to use Dusknoir in Alpha Sapphire?

Question

I'm just wondering because I was told its speed was horrible. I know this is sort of an opinion question but I need help.

Comments

I plan on trading it with the reaper cloth today becuz my friend is coming over and she's bring her 3DS. I'm going to challenge the Elite Four after, but I want six pokemon, what should I do? (This is meant for Infinity, but I'm okay if someone else answers.)

Answer 1

No.

I know that sounds harsh, but Dusknoir is kind of more built for the Meta-game than in-game. There is a lack of good Ghost types in Hoenn, but I guess you can always trade for one. If not, I think that (Mega) Bannette [**At 555 BST over Dusknoir's 525**] is a better Pokemon overall.

Also, getting Dusknoir is a kind of a difficult process (Unless you already have one, that is,), what with trading a Dusclops that's holding a Reaper Cloth (meaning you'll have to find one too).

Also, it is better to have a Dark type because you'll be at a disadvantage for two of the four elite $ matches (Dark and Ghost).

I suggest looking here for some really good teams: http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/222207/what-is-a-good-in-game-team-for-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire?show=222207#q222207

Here's my team: Swampert, Swellow, Pikachu, Kyogre, Linoone (HM slave), Duskclops. I'm thinking about Gardevoir or Gallade, but I would have to catch a Ralts and train it a LOT, which I don't have the time to do.

Also, what things can I do/use to make his speed go higher?

---

Choice scarf or quick claw

---

How much will that do?

---

Choice scarf will boost it's speed by 50% and quick claw wiĺll give it a 11% chance to attack first

---

Where do I get those

---

Choice scarf is end game but your friend could help, not sure abot QC.

---

i'll brb

---

Where do you get the choice scarf in x

---

In oras the pokemon school has quick claw as well as a few pokemon rarely

---

And choice scarf is the same

---

But where do you get it in x

---

^ You get the Choice Scarf from the Battle Maison for 48 BP.

---

Exactly, end game like I said.
