<p>This set works beautifully to either set up your TR and Burn pacify as well as finishing the game or stalling/PP eating low PP-high offense pokemon. Max out HP and split the remaining EV's so that you can have a more balanced staller with the mixture of Sassy and Burn.</p>

<p>Support-wise this set is great to set up for slow-lower defense buff sweepers. These would be pokemon that would generally be non-ghost Curse buffers as well as Bulk Uppers. The stalling aspect is amazing: Mixing Rest+Burn+Pressure. This mix will easily stall out Fighting types, even in the switch sponge occasions. It will also easily shut out Bug and Poison types. As does any set of Dusknoir, it will have a total shut out towards Normal Type-Hyper Beam/Giga Impact Choice Item holders, even on the switch-sponge, eating 2 PP of those precious low PP moves.</p>

<p>The reason Curse is on this set is so that you can trump subbers that would normally be your bane. Allowing you to trump them as well as Evasion Haxers as well as ending the battle by trap-killing your opponent.</p>

<p>This set's weakness will be Taunters. Other than that, if you can execute this well with other support from other pokemon, this set of Dusknoir will be a pain in the ass to deal with. Though if you want you can take out TR if you do not have a TR team and sub it in for Shadow Sneak instead. This way you do not have a weakness to Taunters, but you will lose your Team Support as well as your own use for Trick Room. This is because if you use Curse then you need to be able to move first to be able to Rest before the opponent can take you down. So if you take out TR you need to be less aggresive when going out for a full Curse. Though if you see this pokemon close to death and see no way of recovering you might as well sacrifice Dusknoir and Curse away, crippling your opponent.</p>

<p>Defensive Combined efforts against DAers is about mid-bulky with solid IV's present. Though after burning your foe it will breach wall status and nearly high-wall status. Against SAers defensive combined efforts is about high-bulky.</p>
