Jessie's Dustox (Japanese: ムサシのドクケイル Musashi's Dokucale) was the second Pokémon caught by Jessie of Team Rocket during her travels through Hoenn, after Seviper. Dustox evolved from Cascoon and before that, Wurmple. Its voice actress in Japanese is 西村　ちなみ Chinami Nishimura, and its English voice actor is Amy Birnbaum.

Jessie's Dustox

Jessie caught Wurmple in the episode All in a Day's Wurmple, as did May. Several episodes later, in Which Wurmple's Which?, both Wurmples were temporarily switched, but were returned to their proper trainers by the episode's end. In the episode A Corphish Out of Water, Jessie's Wurmple evolved into Cascoon while May's evolved into Silcoon; Jessie believed hers was a Silcoon as well. Four episodes later, in Seeing is Believing, Jessie's Cascoon evolved into Dustox, while May's Silcoon evolved into Beautifly. While Jessie was at first disappointed that she did not have a Beautifly, she soon came to adore her new Dustox (in the Japanese version, she called it Dokucale-chan on more than one occasion).

Dustox is Jessie's primary Contest Pokémon. It was used in the episodes Come What May and Disguise Da Limit. Jessie attempted to enter it in the Ruibosu Town Contest in A Fan with a Plan, but Jessie did not have a previously obtained Ribbon needed for entry.

In the episode That's Just Swellow, James used Dustox as his Pokémon in a PokéRinger competition. Dustox defeated May's Beautifly in the competition, but it eventually succumbed to a last-minute defeat when Ash's Taillow evolved into a Swellow.
