'''Dustox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドクケイル''' ''Dokucale'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

Dustox is a {{wp|moth}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 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 Dustox's 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 devouring the leaves off roadside trees. When attacked, Dustox unleashes toxic scales from its wings; these toxins are powerful enough to make even a pro wrestler sick. As a result, people often have a difficult time driving Dustox swarms away from settlements. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, fields and mountains.

===Evolution===

Dustox evolves from {{p|Cascoon}} and is the final form of {{p|Wurmple}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

{{main|Dustox (TCG)}}

* Dustox shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Venomoth}}. They are both known as the Poison Moth Pokémon.

* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Dustox and its [[Branched evolution|evolutionary counterpart]] {{p|Beautifly}} shared the same [[base stats]], with Dustox's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} swapped with Beautifly's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. This changed in Generation VI when Beautifly received a ten-point increase to its Special Attack, but Dustox did not receive a stat increase. It shares this counterpart difference with {{p|Politoed}}.

Dustox seems to be based on the {{wp|Actias artemis|Japanese luna moth}} or {{wp|Actias gnoma|Japanese moon moth}} due to its green wings, nocturnal habits, and ability to learn {{m|Moonlight}}. Its {{type|Poison}} may be based on butterflies and moths that {{wp|Pyrrolizidine alkaloid sequestration|retain toxic chemicals}} in their bodies from the plants they consume as larva. Its {{Shiny}} colors resemble the {{wp|Antheraea yamamai|Japanese silk moth}}.

Dustox may be a combination of ''dust'' (referring to its powdery scales), ''dusk'', and ''toxic''.

Dokucale may be a combination of 毒 ''doku'' (poison) or 毒蛾 ''dokuga'' (poisonous moth) and ''{{wp|scale (insect anatomy)|scale}}''.
