Dustox (Japanese: ドクケイル Dokucale) is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Cascoon starting at level 10. It is one of Wurmple's final forms, the other being Beautifly.
Biology
Physiology
Dustox is a moth-like Pokémon with vaguely egg-shaped purple bodies and usually green wings. These wings have red circles and streaks on them and appear tattered. It has yellow antennae, and yellow eyes that resemble stylized compound eyes. Dustox’s legs are stubby and red in coloration, and Dustox has a jagged fringe on its rear.
Gender differences
A female has smaller antennae than a male.
Special abilities
Dustox's antennae are often used to seek out food, and its wings contain a highly poisonous dust. Despite its typing and lack of the Ability Levitate it can fly quite easily.
Behavior
Dustox is nocturnal, and is instinctively drawn to light. Swarms of Dustox are attracted by the bright light of cities, where they wreak havoc by stripping the leaves off roadside trees for food. If attacked as a Cascoon, a Dustox will always remember the face of the attacker, and will seek revenge upon evolution.
Habitat
Dustox live in forests, much like its pre-evolutions, Wurmple and Cascoon.

Trivia
- Dustox shares the same species name with Venomoth. They are both known as the Poison Moth Pokémon.
- Dustox is the only Poison-type Pokémon that evolves from a non-Poison-type. Thus, if a poisoned Cascoon evolves into Dustox, it will keep the status ailment.
Origin
Dustox is based on Actias artemis, a Japanese moon moth.
Name origin
Dustox is a combination of dust (referring to how wing scales are powdery) and toxic.
Dokucale may be a combination of 毒蛾 dokuga (poisonous moth) and scale (referring to wing scales) or gale.
