[OVERVIEW]
Druddigon makes an effective pivot with its Dragon typing and ability in Rough Skin, which is used in conjunction with Rocky Helmet to punish U-turn and Flip Turn users like Togedemaru and Basculin. Heavy Defense investment lets it switch into notable Pokemon such as Tsareena and Togedemaru. Druddigon also has a great supportive movepool with access to Stealth Rock and Glare. However, Druddigon is weak to common Fairy- and Ice-type attacks from Pokemon like Ribombee and Froslass, as well as lacking any reliable recovery options.

Dragon Tail can be used to phaze Pokemon and rack up damage with Stealth Rock against Defoggers such as Charizard or setup sweepers such as Cosmic Power Xatu. Otherwise, Dragon Claw makes a decent alternative. Glare is used to spread paralysis, mainly targeting Whimsicott and Ribombee that may try to switch into Druddigon. Earthquake provides good coverage with Dragon Tail, hitting Steel-types like Silvally-Steel and Togedemaru super effectively. Endure can be used as a way to accumulate an extra turn of Rocky Helmet and Rough Skin damage onto a foe, which can help check opposing Pokemon such as Triple Axel Froslass in a pinch. Leftovers can be used as an alternative to Rocky Helmet to provide Druddigon with more longevity. Toxicroak and other fast wallbreakers pair well with Druddigon, as Druddigon can punish fast Pokemon like Togedemaru that attempt to revenge kill them. Silvally-Steel and Weezing help to cover Fairy-types like Aromatisse and Ribombee that attempt to take advantage of Druddigon. Garbodor is another Fairy-resistant Pokemon that can provide Spikes support, which complements Druddigon's Dragon Tail.
