Strategy Overview

Drednaw stands out as a premier hyper offense and offense option, able to threaten a sweep after a single Shell Smash. With access to Strong Jaw-boosted Ice Fang and Crunch, even typically sturdy physical walls such as Bronzong and Amoonguss can struggle to take its attacks. Drednaw also naturally outspeeds the majority of the tier after a Shell Smash boost, including even +1 Speed Cinccino as well as Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Munkidori and Flamigo. However, Drednaw can struggle with Grass- and Water-types such as Breloom and Paldean Tauros-W, as they can take one of its hits and KO it back with either Seed Bomb or Close Combat, respectively. Furthermore, priority users such as Toxicroak, Barraskewda, and Basculegion-M can revenge kill Drednaw once it has sustained solid chip damage. Drednaw can also struggle to OHKO common walls such as Bellibolt and Amoonguss, even if it carries the right coverage options for them, forcing it to rely on entry hazards. Drednaw also can struggle with four-moveslot syndrome, as Pokemon such as Toxicroak and Paldean Tauros-W can wall Drednaw if it doesn't have Tera Blast Flying or Earthquake, but if it drops Crunch, then Bronzong can be a big problem.
