Dugtrio is similar to Magneton in the sense that he can trap a mon and dish out a STAB earthquake to hit an easy KO as it is very high speed.

Magneten is often a hard counter to Skarmory, since it has magnet pull that traps steel types - then one thunderbolt and that is one dead bird

So basically Dugtrio negs mons like Jirachi, which is probably the main reason people run him

what do i need to counter it???

 

[MangoSenpai]

It can be a pain if you don't have any good checks for it. But it's more like Dugtrio just hard counters and gets a free ko on him

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Gyarados, Heatran, Magnezone ect

Resisting Iron Head is the key. Lose your resist, you lose the game.

but it can learn ice punch, jirachi. imagine jirachi calm mind, baton pass, speed boost.

 

[MangoSenpai]

Dugtrio is also really good vs Blissey if you run Beat Up on him

I did not know that, thank you. I have been trying options to counter blissey. had machamp on the team to counter it. but it kept avoiding death by switching out. ugh

 

[MangoSenpai]

Well he is not a baton passer lol

And if not for the baton pass clause only allowing one source of stat boost to be passed on, Ninjask would be 10x more OP

I so wanted to include Charizard in the team but it kept failing everytime. Only yesterday got matched with a guy who used Zapdos to pass on 2x speed stat to Charizard and it did belly drum to 4x Attack. After that it was game over with hidden type ability attack. High risk high reward strategy if works​
