[SET COMMENTS]
With its solid natural bulk and good defensive typing in conjunction with Levitate, Hydreigon serves as a trapper that checks and eliminates Pokemon like Skeledirge and Mega Charizard Y lacking Focus Blast. Fire Spin traps and accumulates chip on a myriad of defensive Pokemon, such as Toxapex, Ting-Lu, Gastrodon, and Clodsire. Earth Power, in combination with Fire Spin, increases the damage that the aforementioned Pokemon take while also threatening Heatran. Alternatively, Dark Pulse can be used as a solid STAB move to hit airborne Pokemon such as Gliscor. Taunt prevents passive walls such as Toxapex and Gastrodon from healing while also preventing Hydreigon from being crippled by status from the aforementioned Pokemon as well. Tera Poison gives Hydreigon a Toxic immunity and a favorable defensive typing, allowing it to safely trap Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Iron Valiant. Offensive teammates like Mega Lopunny, Volcarona, and Dragapult appreciate Hydreigon trapping and removing walls like Toxapex, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu. Entry hazard setters such as Ferrothorn, Landorus-T, and Gastrodon support Hydreigon, as they heavily chip and pressure switch-ins like Kingambit in combination with Hydreigon's Fire Spin. Hydreigon is easily forced out by Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele, Mega Diancie, and Iron Valiant. As such, Pokemon that can handle the aforementioned threats such as Gholdengo, Clodsire, and Toxapex make great teammates for it.
