Hydreigon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Draco Meteor
- Flash Cannon
- Flamethrower
Hydreigon's newfound access to Nasty Plot combined with its great coverage has turned it into one of OU's deadliest wallbreakers, capable of taking out checks such as Clefable and Mandibuzz with boosted attacks. By pivoting into Pokemon like Toxapex and Hippowdon that can't effectively threaten Hydreigon or are forced out by it, it easily gains chances to set up. Speed control from the likes of Dragapult, Zeraora, and Choice Scarf Jirachi benefits Hydreigon; these Pokemon can clean up after Hydreigon wallbreaks, and Dragapult in particular appreciates Hydreigon removing Clefable as well as other Pokemon such as Incineroar and Snorlax. Faster Pokemon like Zeraora and Terrakion, as well as Conkeldurr, threaten to revenge kill Hydreigon; Hippowdon is a great check to them. Clefable is also a great defensive partner; it provides Wish and Teleport support, keeping Hydreigon healthy and getting it in against Pokemon it threatens such as Rotom-H, Aegislash, and Toxapex.
