Yes, Dusknoir can be used for a Trick Room setup due to it’s lack of Speed. Here’s a good Moveset:

Dusknoir @ LeftoversAbility: Pressure or FriskNature: Adamant (+Attack -Sp. Atk)Ev’s: Attack, Defense and Sp. DefRole: Trick Room Setup/Staller

Trick Room is used to make Slower Pokemon move first for 5 turns while Double Team and either Toxic or Will-O-Wisp are used for stalling and the 1 of the 4 Punch moves is used for coverage (Shadow Punch is STAB for Dusknoir and it never misses while Ice, Fire or Thunder Punch are used for coverage)

Hope this helped :)
