Strategy Overview

Druddigon's claim to fame is Mold Breaker Stealth Rock, which completely ignores Xatu's Magic Bounce and punishes opposing teams that rely on it to keep Stealth Rock off the field. Additionally, it's a great team disruptor with Dragon Tail and status moves and can soft check a plethora of foes, including Salazzle, offensive Talonflame, and Scrafty. It also enables other common Stealth Rock setters like Diancie and Copperajah to use other, more offensive sets. However, Druddigon struggles to be a consistent check to wallbreakers with STAB attacks it doesn't resist, such as Copperajah, Tauros, and Choice Specs Starmie, and its poor Speed means other wallbreakers like Choice Specs Sylveon and Exploud are seldom threatened by it.
