Strategy Overview

Dragon

Typically outclassed by the likes of Latios and Raging Bolt due to its lower Special Attack stat alongside being less threatening against Flying and Water teams, Hydreigon can be difficult to slot into Dragon teams. However, it provides distinct niches in its Dark typing as well as its access to Nasty Plot, Flamethrower, and Earth Power, allowing it to severely threaten Steel and Ghost teams while still providing a Ground immunity like Latios.
