PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

Hex marginally beats Astonish.
Ominous Wind’s STAB is compensated by Dark Pulse’s better parameters.
Psychic has no offensive use on Dusknoir.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

Hex is again the better fast move.
Ominous Wind has 3 bars, but Dark Pulse is stronger and harder to dodge.
Psychic only has 1 bar and worse coverage.

PVE Overview

With mediocre stats both offensively and defensively, as well as a suboptimal movepool, unfortunately Dusknoir will be only worth the Pokedex entry. It’s at least kind of bulky and resistant to Machamp.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Hex+Ominous Wind and Psychic

Hex has 2 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and 3.66 EPT (Energy Per Turn). It charges fairly well, but it's just not very good overall. Ominous Wind (50 Power/40 Energy) is not a strong move, but it does have a small chance of granting a stat-boost on use. Psychic (100 Power/70 Energy) is not very strong either, but does provide a second type for coverage.

Hex+Ominous Wind and Dark Pulse

The same basic set, but adds Dark Pulse (80 Power/50 Energy) instead. Dark Pulse is a genuinely better move than Psychic, but its coverage profile is so close to Ghost that it may as well be a mono-Ghost set.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 0 / 5

Dusknoir's terribly outclassed in the Great League, and should generally not be used. Its bad moveset, mono-typing, and stats don't meld very well in the tier.

Ultra League: 1 / 5

Once again, Dusknoir is too weak for the Ultra League. With a plethora of other Ghosts in the tier, not the least of which are the two versions of Giratina.

Master League: 1 / 5

Dusknoir just plainly isn't a good option in PVP.
