If you haven't caught any Pokemon with Ghost or Dark-type Moves up to this point, catching a Yamask or a Dugtrio on Route 6 can add balance to your team. Dugtrio will learn the Dark-type Move Sucker Punch, which can be useful for players of Pokemon Shield in taking on Allister's Ghost-type Pokemon.
