Dugtrio Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, it depends on your team. Dugtrio at 405 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Ground coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Dugtrio has a 405 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. It works best as a pivot. Earthquake with Focus Sash is the standard set.
Sand Veil increases evasion to 1.25× during a sandstorm. That's the one you want on Dugtrio. Sand Force is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Arena Trap works too if your team needs something different.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Dugtrio fills the pivot role. It's a physical attacker with base 80 Attack. Base 120 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's fragile, can't afford to take many hits.
Game Availability
Dugtrio first appeared in Red & Blue and spans 20 games across 10 generations. It later gained an Alolan form in Generation 7, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
