Its Ability

Camouflage Pattern

Prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Dustox by your opponent's Pokémon that is affected by 2 or more Special Conditions.

Its attacks

Smogscreen

The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.

Chemical Scale

If the Defending Pokémon has any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned and Confused.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
130 HP. Only 2 cards in Platinum carry more.
A strength
It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.
A strength
It has an Ability, Camouflage Pattern. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
None of the 8,076 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Cascoon to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fire +30. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,076 tournament lists we have read, 1,846 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
