Strategy Overview

  • Naganadel carves itself a niche on offensive teams as a sweeper and general anti-stall Pokemon.
  • Poison / Dragon is a good offensive typing, and access to Nasty Plot and Fire-type coverage makes Naganadel a real offensive threat.
  • A good base 121 Speed combined with its ability Beast Boost gives Naganadel the ability to get Speed boosts and minimize the adverse effects of its mediocre bulk.
  • Naganadel's Poison / Dragon typing makes it the only Pokemon aside from Mega Gengar on offense that is capable of absorbing Toxic Spikes. Having a Toxic immunity means Naganadel is able to beat the two most annoying special walls, Blissey and Chansey.
  • Its poor bulk leaves it vulnerable to priority and many prevalent faster attackers such as Choice Scarf Yveltal, Marshadow, and Ultra Necrozma.
  • Its bulk can make it somewhat hard to set up Nasty Plot, as most Pokemon in Ubers have enough offensive presence to massively damage or OHKO Naganadel.
  • Naganadel's wallbreaking capabilities are somewhat reliant around predicting with Devastating Drake, a powerful one-time attack that can be pivoted into by Steel- and Fairy-types, making their existence a nuisance for Naganadel.
