Replace Light Screen with Reflect as Dustox already has high special defense. Energy Ball might be a good replacment if you don't want reflect.

Dustox @ Heat Rock/Lefties

Trait: Shield Dust

EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA

Modest Nature (+SpA, -Atk)

  • Sunny Day
  • SolarBeam
  • Hidden Power Fire
  • Moonlight

Sunny Day support.
SolarBeam is good accuracy and power and can be used thanks to Sunny Day.
Hidden Power Fire is boosted by the sun and hits grass types.
Moonlight is for healing and heals extra in Sun.

Maybe energy ball instead of psychic to deal with rock weakness.
