Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Earth Power
- Roost
Hydreigon stands as one of the most dangerous wallbreakers in the metagame. After a Nasty Plot, there are almost no defensive checks to it other than specially defensive Clefable, Blissey, Chansey, and Mandibuzz, and its solid bulk and access to reliable recovery in Roost allow it to take advantage of prevalent Pokemon such as Heatran, Toxapex and Slowbro, though it has to be wary of Toxic from the former two. Earth Power allows Hydreigon to beat Pokemon such as Toxapex and Heatran while also being able to threaten Pokemon such as physically defensive Clefable, Tapu Fini, and Mega Tyranitar hard after a Nasty Plot boost. However, Hydreigon's Speed tier can get it outsped and revenge killed by Pokemon such as Mega Lopunny, Dragapult, and Cinderace, so checks to them such as Toxapex and Clefable are great teammates. Additionally, Hydreigon appreciates pivoting support from Pokemon such as Mega Scizor, Cinderace, and Mega Lopunny that can safely bring it in.
