Dugtrio Weakness

Dugtrio 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.
