Set Details
========
Rocky Helmet along with Rough Skin punishes physical attackers for 30% of their HP every time they use a contact move. EVs are given into HP and Defense in order to maximize Druddigon's physical bulk, making it able to switch into physical attacks easily.
Usage Tips
========
Druddigon can be used as a lead if you want to set up Stealth Rock as soon as possible, then you can just cripple the opposing team with its status moves and phaze, or keep it alive in order to deal some useful residual damage later in the game. It can be switched into physical attacks, but it must be wary of powerful attacks by the likes of Hitmonlee, Emboar, and Durant which are able to 2HKO it, so don't switch into them if you still need Druddigon to set Stealth Rock.
Team Options
========
Druddigon appreciates Spikes support from Pokemon such as Qwilfish in order to get more residual damage when phazing. As it lacks a reliable recovery, it appreciates Wish support by the likes of Alomomola and Aromatisse, in order to increase its longevity; they can switch into Ice-type moves that Druddigon suffers, too. Hard hitters, such as Tyrantrum and Escavalier, greatly appreciate entry hazards, paralysis, and shuffling support from Druddigon.
