AI AnalysisUpdated: 2026/07/27

Overview

A top-class fast special attacker in Singles. Choice Scarf is almost mandatory, and Modest or Timid pushes its base 98 Speed to a much stronger practical tier. Its standard structure centers on STAB Dark Pulse and Draco Meteor, with U-turn for pivoting and Flamethrower or Fire Blast to burn through Steel-types.

Strengths

Its ability Levitate nullifies Ground moves, and it is also immune to Psychic. It can ignore Ground pressure, and its broad set of 0.5x resistances to Ghost, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, and Dark directly helps it avoid becoming setup fodder.
With 125 SpA and high-power STAB moves in Draco Meteor and Dark Pulse, it can control a wide range of matchups from above. Flamethrower and Fire Blast give it the option to punish Steel-types, which would otherwise be a natural problem.
Choice Scarf is almost mandatory, effectively boosting its base 98 Speed into the fastest tiers and letting it force STAB attacks first. The Choice lock can be reset with the commonly used U-turn, giving it both pivoting and a clean exit option.
After Draco Meteor, it can use U-turn to reset the SpA drop and Choice lock while retreating, giving it high freedom to keep momentum and cycle favorable matchups.

Weaknesses

Fairy is a 4x weakness, so even moderate-power Fairy moves can OHKO it. Fighting, Bug, Ice, and Dragon are also 2x weaknesses, so poor damage management can cause it to fall before using its high Special Attack.
Its bulk is only average at H92/B90/D90, and because it assumes a Choice Scarf, it is easily broken by 2x super effective moves or priority from above. Speed control or paralysis removes the advantage its Scarf is meant to provide.
Because Choice Scarf is almost mandatory, the risk of being locked into the wrong move is high. If Protect or a switch reads the locked move, it can be forced into wasted turns. Focus Sash and Life Orb are minority options, so it cannot usually rely on bulk or longevity.
Draco Meteor lowers its SpA every time it is used, and White Herb is only a minority item, so it cannot spam the move effectively. Its ability to stay in and trade over multiple turns is limited.

Synergy & Partners

Primarina: The Water/Fairy combination resists or is immune to Fairy, Hydreigon's biggest 4x weakness, and also covers its 2x weaknesses to Fighting, Bug, Ice, and Dragon. It is a highly complementary partner that covers almost all of Hydreigon's bad matchups.
Metagross: With Steel/Psychic, it resists or is immune to the weaknesses Fairy, Ice, and Dragon. It can switch into Fairy, which Hydreigon dislikes, while this Pokemon can handle Steel-types with Fire moves, creating mutual defensive coverage.
Mimikyu: Disguise lets it reliably survive one hit, while its Ghost/Fairy typing resists or is immune to the 2x weaknesses Fighting, Bug, and Dragon. It can take Fighting and Dragon attacks that hit Hydreigon well and use them to create setup opportunities.

Counters & Threats

Grimmsnarl: Its Dark/Fairy typing reduces the STAB moves of Dark/Dragon to 0.25x, and Spirit Break (Fairy 4x) can hit back super effectively. It also has priority.
Alolan Ninetales: Its Ice/Fairy typing resists the STAB moves of Dark/Dragon, and Moonblast (Fairy 4x) can hit back super effectively. With base 109 Speed, it can also move first.
Primarina: Its Water/Fairy typing resists the STAB moves of Dark/Dragon, and Moonblast (Fairy 4x) can hit back super effectively. It also has priority.

4x to Fairy and STAB doubly resisted — Fairy types are extreme threats.Aegislash or Galarian Slowkingand similar bulky Fairy-resists are countermeasures. High-Sp.Def Pokémon like Tyranitar are also threats.
