Dustox (ドクケイル, Dokukeiru) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is one of two final evolutions of Wurmple, evolving from Cascoon starting at level 10. Dustox is a moth-like Pokémon with a purple body and green wings marked with red circles. It is nocturnal and uses its antennae to navigate and is drawn to bright lights. Dustox releases toxic powder from its wings, which is potent enough to make even a professional wrestler ill. It inhabits forests, fields, and mountains, and feeds on leaves, sometimes causing issues in urban areas by gathering around streetlights and consuming foliage. Female Dustox have shorter antennae than their male counterparts.
