also it’s not a very big problem because dusk noir is a stage 2 and is hard to set up, meaning it shouldn’t be of too much concern

Jirachi Stellar Veil will not stop Dusknoir, has Jirachi ability says:

"Prevent all damage counters from being placed on your Benched Pokémon by effects of attacks used by your opponent’s Basic Pokémon"

So Jirachi will stop are damage counters from for example Sableye because the damage counters are from the attack, but will not stop Dusknoir because the damage counters are not in its attack.

With the help of rare candy it can attack on its second turn and if player with it goes first it can easily take k.o. on some basic Pokemon before they can evolve
