Strategy Overview

Druddigon boasts an incredible Attack stat with above average defenses, which can make it effective as either an offensive or defensive Pokemon. Its wide movepool provides coverage against threats such as Fairy-types, but it needs support to make effective use of this. Furthermore, access to support moves such as Stealth Rock, Glare, and Roar lets it stand out from the crowd. However, a low Speed stat with only Sucker Punch to compensate makes it vulnerable to being revenge killed easily. It also doesn't have the best matchup versus common entry hazard removers such as Flygon. A lack of reliable recovery hinders Druddigon's longevity. The presence of Fairy-types such as Granbull and Diancie can also hinder Druddigon's ability to freely use its STAB moves. With offensive Ice-types like Sneasel, Mega Glalie, and Abomasnow being common, it can be hard to use Druddigon without being pressured easily.
