Dusknoir got shafted :(
Dusknoir's movepool is absolutely huge yet it was given LITERALLY some of the worst moves in the game. I'm contemplating keeping my shiny Dusclops since I find more fun using moves like fire and ice punch. But I wonder if Niantic will change this and hopefully make these new moves legacy.

I agree, It also can learn future sight instead of psychic, it can have shadow ball instead of ominous wind and the third slot could have been rock slide, thunder punch, fire punch, blizzard, brick break, focus blast and more. I'm so annoyed because he is one of my favourites and is very unpredictable.
Poor dusknoir, but sadly, muck like it Is in the main series meta, it gets shown up by its pre-evolutions (If only for a different reason). Dusknoir cant catch a break these days, one side game where its a villain, gets outclassed by its pre evolution with eviolite, and now bad moves on defense in GO, but at least it looks cool
Ghost moves in general need a revamp. There isn't any reason why of the 5 available charge moves only one is viable and the other 4 are basically the same move with varying timing windows.
Either way, I hate to say it but it's not like Shadow Ball would have made Dusknoir good. Drifblim is still better on offense and defense.
