Strategy Overview

High Attack, above average defenses, and the only Dragon-type with low Speed gives Druddigon a unique role as the only Trick Room Dragon of VGC 2011. Offensively, it has a large physical movepool which includes a strong priority move in Sucker Punch. Its ability Sheer Force boosts moves with secondary effects such as Rock Slide and Fire Fang, giving it something over Haxorus. Defensively, 77 / 90 / 90 defenses aren't too shabby, and Druddigon's Dragon typing also brings a bunch of useful resistances to the table. Unfortunately, in conjunction with low Speed, its typing also means that, without Trick Room, Druddigon will lose out against the other two Dragon-types in VGC 2011.
