Venusaur (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Earthquake
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Synthesis

Drapion usually is sent on Venu to take a Leaf Storm and threaten back with Knock Off in order to remove Venusaur Life Orb. With earthquake Venusaur can easily 2HKO Drapion on the switchin, and it can remove the toxic spikes Drapion sets up. This can also be used to do a good chunk of damage to Garbodor and Registeel :)
 

all falls down

Leaf Storm actually does the same dmg as EQ, and you're forced out regardless, so this isn't really a lure.

This is kind of a weird Pokemon to pick for this thread since it's a scarfed revenge killer and there really aren't many ways to lure it o_o i can't really think of anything besides maybe colbur psychics
 

Take Azelfie

More flags more fun

EZer than luring Virizion

Porygon @ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Recover
- Ice Beam
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt

Trace Arena Trap so you trap Dugtrio and gg :pimp: also Porygon is pretty bulky and paraspam+boltbeam is pretty cool
 
Diancie @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
- Heal Bell
- Stealth Rock
- Diamond Storm
- Moonblast

So, while this set is not the normal one it manages to ohko Dugtrio and avoiding being ohkoed by our beloved ground-type.

252 Atk Life Orb Dugtrio Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Shuca Berry Diancie: 109-129 (35.8 - 42.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Diancie Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dugtrio: 190-225 (90 - 106.6%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO (50% but sshhh, worst case scenario one can use a prio to kill it.)

Plus it also manages to take a hit from offensive flygon and ohko it, and in general improving his offensive presence. Yes, it does sacrifice some of its defensive capabilities but I find it a nice set that, while not the best, it can get its job done.

Qwilfish @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spe
Jolly / Timid Nature
- Spikes
- Taunt
- Waterfall / Scald
- Thunder Wave / Toxic Spikes

Dugtrio can usually come and OHKO Qwilfish after a low prior damage, Shuca Berry can allow it to easily take an Earthquake, run Waterfall and Jolly over Scald and Timid is more useful to guarantee a OHKO (Scald can still be used, but it won't OHKO after Life Orb damage and Stealth Rock and you will need to stall out Dugtrio's HP unless it burns). It is also cool against Tank Rhyperior to avoid a OHKO even without Intimidate and to avoid a OHKO from its Band set after Earthquake, when both Scald and Waterfall can 2HKO Rhyperior, but Rhyperior rarely will try to stay in Qwilfish and lose passive recovery isn't good, but is still a cool lure.

Calcs:
252 Atk Life Orb Dugtrio Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 200 Def Shuca Berry Qwilfish: 153-183 (45.8 - 54.7%) -- 59% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Dugtrio Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 200 Def Qwilfish: 307-367 (91.9 - 109.8%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
0 Atk Qwilfish Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dugtrio: 284-336 (134.5 - 159.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
0 SpA Qwilfish Scald vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dugtrio: 144-170 (68.2 - 80.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
 
virizion doesnt play games

Virizion @ Coba Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Leaf Blade
- Stone Edge
after all that hard work to get duggy in on virizion for free what would happen if Virizion magically lived? well say hello to the coba berry boys, a fighting spam teams best friend. normally this would suck but dugtrio is so weak it can hardly even kill virizion when it doesnt have a coba berry.

252 Atk Life Orb Dugtrio Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Coba Berry Virizion: 161-192 (49.8 - 59.4%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO
 

Stealth Rocks 2-Attacks Registeel
Registeel @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Atk / 8 Def
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Ice Punch
- Stealth Rock / Thunder Wave
- Toxic
Dugtrio loves switching in on Registeel, as registeel usually has no way of dealing with
it, so it's usually a free kill. However, with Ice Punch and max attack, Registeel, can nab the OHKO on Dugtrio. This is similar to the standard sp def set, but instead of seismic toss you run iron head, and you have the choice between T-wave or Stealth Rocks as Ice Punch takes up the final slot. This is an effective variant of Registeel that can still get up rocks and take hits, but can also nab unexpected kills.

252+ Atk Registeel Ice Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dugtrio: 214-254 (101.4 - 120.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 Atk Life Orb Dugtrio Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Registeel: 218-257 (59.8 - 70.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
