**To use Lycanroc Dusk effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Rock type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Lycanroc Dusk appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Lycanroc Dusk fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Tough Claws, Focus Sash and Adamant 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Accelerock, Close Combat, Protect, Rock Slide, Psychic Fangs, and Iron Head. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Lycanroc Dusk has important weaknesses to fighting 2x, grass 2x, ground 2x, steel 2x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Kingambit, Basculegion, Froslass-Mega, Sneasler, and Scovillain-Mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
