6/10 Dugtrio with this could be slightly viable.

Good Beautifly tech. Other poster is right about Lucien's, though an Energy Switch would provide the same effect... and Upper Energy now!

Dustox is a very good tech card, not a main hitter. ^Like orange said it's good for Beautifly.
okeball:okeball:okeball:THIS CARD ACTUALLY SUCKS PRETTY BAD WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE UNKNOWN G FACTOR AS PREVIOUSLY STATED. BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT GIVIN THE DEFICIT OF UNKNOWN G OR A HEALING TYPE CARD, THIS LITTLE BUGGER CAN BE QUITE ANOYING. THAT IS UNTIL YOU SIMPLY HAVE YOUR T-TAR GRIND IT INTO SPARKLY LITTLE MOTH DUST.

Ok, I'm getting a very odd sense of deja vu here...I could have sworn I posted a review...
Anyways, today's CotD is Dustox from PT. Statwise, 130 HP is average for a Stage 2, +30 Weakness to :fire: is ok since :fire: decks aren't popular, no Resistance (sadly common these days, makes you wonder why they bother with this slot) and no Retreat Cost is always a plus. Camouflage Pattern is a decent Poke-Body in theory; Dustox takes no damage or effects from attacks if the attacking Pokemon has 2 Status Conditions on it. However, given the ease of being able to remove Status Conditions, as well as the difficulty of getting 2 on at a time, its usefulness is very limited. Smogscreen is a bit pricey at :grass::colorless for 20, even with the benefit of Poision and a 50/50 chance for the Defending Pokemon to fail to attack. Chemical Scale is ok at 60 for :grass::colorless:colorless, and you get to inflict Burn and Confusion if the Defending Pokemon has a Poke-Power or Poke-Body, thus triggering Dustox's Camouflage Pattern if they try to attack.
Modified - 6/10 (Ok for a fun deck, not very competitive though at Premier Events)
Limited - 7/10 (A little bit better if you can get it out, Camouflage Pattern can lead to some nice stalling)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No use here, surprise surprise)
