Strategy Overview
Dragalge's STAB moves, Draco Meteor and Sludge Wave, both have perfect coverage bar Steel-types, and the former even packs a huge Base Power of 130. Combined with Adaptability, which doubles the Base Power of Dragalge's STAB moves, this makes Dragalge a great wallbreaker. Dragalge's Draco Meteor, for reference, OHKOes standard Alomomola. Furthermore, Dragalge's great defensive typing and good bulk allow it to pivot into many attacks in the tier, such as Fire Blast and Scald, and then retaliate with ease. However, Dragalge's low Speed somewhat offsets this, as it will usually be taking a hit before it is able to deal damage. And while Dragalge has a good defensive typing, it is still susceptible to very common moves such as Ice Beam, Earthquake, and Psyshock. Dragalge is also susceptible to both Stealth Rock and Spikes, although it does absorb Toxic Spikes. Dragalge's main STAB move, Draco Meteor, drops its Special Attack by two stages, which can make it setup bait at times.
