How to use Hydreigon in the current VGC format

Hydreigon is listed as a Dark/Dragon type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Hydreigon fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Levitate, Choice Scarf and Timid 2/0/0/32/0/32. Its frequent moves include Draco Meteor, Dark Pulse, Snarl, Protect, Heat Wave, and Flamethrower. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Hydreigon has important weaknesses to fairy 4x, bug 2x, dragon 2x, fighting 2x, ice 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sneasler, garchomp, rotom-wash, tyranitar-mega, and excadrill appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
