Strategy Overview

  • Naganadel is a Dragon-type perfectly suited towards a Fairy-type-infested world, thanks to its additional Poison-typing.
  • An excellent Speed tier and access to Beast Boost make Naganadel difficult to revenge kill and let it perform as a good revenge killer itself.
  • Access to Nasty Plot and good coverage makes Naganadel a fearsome sweeper against stall teams as well, which is unique for a Speed-boosting Ultra Beast.
  • While Naganadel's bulk is only passable, its typing gives it good resistances to important types such as Electric, Water, Fire, and Fighting, which means Naganadel can usually take one resisted hit before going down.
  • However, said bulk does make Naganadel difficult to directly switch in, with even resisted hits dealing massive damage. Naganadel can also be a bit difficult to set up against offensive teams due to this.
  • Naganadel's bulk issue's also mean that it needs a team to be sufficently weakened, or it risks getting KOed.
  • Naganadel's Special Attack stat is very good, but it can feel a bit weak without a boost, which can limit its effectiveness in the early parts of the game.
