Dunsparce is actually based off of the Tsuchinoko a yokai and interestingly almost every decision about its design has basis in myth. The wings allude to its ability to double jump, the nubs on its chin are for its poisonous nature and even its shape as Tsuchinoko are very plump. Even its movelist has a lot of layers to its inspiration. Like with roll out is its ability to bite its tail and rolls up into a ball and roll around. If you want all the details Gaijin Goombah did a video about it.

If he kept defense curl rollout they would be easy. I think it was a massive throw to not keep them. In a solo run where there’s no penalty for wiping, you reset until you don’t miss rollout. You probably could rollout sweep agatha once you have speed. Speed ev rollout dunsparce probably beats elite 4 below level 70. Defense Curl rollout is easily the best move for solo challenges from my experience.

You can get it right after nugget bridge if you encounter the camper blocking it as low as possible, letting you slip past. It’s similar to return, in that almost anything can learn it

So, FYI, Dunsparce is a physical attacker. In Gen 3, you want to use physical attacking moves. While yes, return is good, headbut with a quick claw can mean a flinch whish is better. Defense curl and rollout is one of the best combos for Dunsparce period. If you wanted an easy win against most of the pokemon, you just roll with it, pun intended. Dig or earthquake would be super useful. While yes, thunderbolt and icebeam are good for a better chance of causing freeze/paralyze, you aren't using them enough if you wanted to run them nor are you using a beneficial item to make use of them. I did a Dunsparce only run of Heartgold and beat red mostly using defense curl + rollout. when you are able to get all hits in, it can OHKO most pokemon, and in a game wheresteel types are far and few between, it is your best moves to use, with headbut/return and something to cause a status or coverage if possible. Overall, good run. I would recommend looking over the pokemon one more time before you commit to using certain moves in Gen 3 since gen 4 has the physical/special split.

Grinding on lorelie isn't the best idea because you are gonna lose to bruno afterwards. In a run that you are using return you don't want to faint cause your friendship is gonna get lowered meaning that the output of return is gonna get smaller despite you leveling up. But I have to admit that your videos are very entertaining

Definitely thought it was ground type, and when i saw Drampa was coming out for Pokemon Sun and Moon, and I thought "IS DUNSPARCE GETTING AN EVOLUTION?!" Unfortunately, that wasnt it.

🐺👍🏻 nice to see you finally getting around to the Dunsparce challenge, btw Rage is a better move in Gen II where it could come in handy up to beating the 3rd gym….

I have played Pokemon for years and not once have I known that Defense Curl doubles Rollouts attack. :O

Great Video again. Just as always we need to know, what fossil you did take, even if you said what fossil you took. It's not like i haven't paid attention when watching the video, but comments are good for the youtube algorithm. I maybe have two ideas, what runs you maybe could try. That would be a Vulpix run in a gen of your choice. I know it can learn some great moves gen 4 onwards. The second one would be a Dunsparce run in Pokemon Emerald. I liked your idea, so i thought about mentioning it.

I really hope Dunsparce gets some love in Scarlet/ Violet and gets an evolution. The beta dunsparce evolution wae interesting. As was how different Dunsparce was before they settled on its current version.
