Strategy Overview

  • Hydreigon functions as a strong special attacker thanks to its great offensive typing, base 125 Special Attack, and great coverage options.

  • Although it is great offensively, Hydreigon suffers from a 4x weakness to Fairy and a 2x weakness to Fighting, forcing you to play very carefully around the Tapu Pokemon.

  • Hydreigon sits at an awkward Speed tier of 98. Though not remarkably fast, it is certainly not slow either. However, it is crucially outsped by the likes of Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Metagross, and Kartana.
