Dustox (Japanese: ドクケイル Dokukeiru) is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is known to fill the forest with dust that works as a sleeping powder.

Appearance

Dustox is a moth like Pokémon. Its body is purple while its wings are green with red circles in them. Its eyes are yellow with black dots in them. On its abdomen there are four little "arms" that are red.

In the anime

In the Anime, the Team Rocket member, Jessie has a Dustox, and she used it to compete in the Pokémon Contest. She caught this Pokémon when it is a Wurmple in Hoenn, which evolved into a Cascoon. Initially, she wanted a Beautifly and believes that her Cascoon is a Silcoon. But when Cascoon evolved into Dustox, Jessie fell in love with it. In the Sinnohregion, when Dustox falls in love with a yellow Dustox, Jessie decided to release it to allow Dustox to experience love.

Evolution

Dustox evolves from Cascoon at level 10 which is an evolved form of Wurmple.
