Analysis
Regidrago is a surprisingly strong Dragon attacker despite its underwhelming attack stat. Dragon Energy is an incredibly powerful signature move. Furthermore, Regidrago's high HP / low Defense stat spread is great at converting damage taken into energy, rapidly charging up Dragon Energy despite the poor energy generation of Dragon Breath. With that said, the competition for Dragon-type damage is cutthroat. Regidrago's performance is comparable to that of Breaking Swipe Rayquaza - which is an impressive feat, but it does fall behind some Shadow Dragons, and doesn't synergize as well with Party Power when compared to the Origin Formes of Dialga and Palkia.
Offense
- Regidrago's best performance requires two Elite moves: Dragon Breath and Dragon Energy. Don't bother with the other options.
- Breaking Swipe is an incredible Charged Attack, but Dragon Energy is just so much better.
- Outrage is okay, but not exactly ideal for Regidrago.
- Dragon Pulse is inferior, and Hyper Beam and Vise Grip are virtually worthless.
Dragon Breath is a far superior move to Bite, benefiting from STAB and having far greater energy generation.
Dragon Energy is the reason to use Regidrago. The combination of Dragon Breath's high energy gain with Dragon Energy's sheer power make short work of just about all but the sturdiest resists. Vise Grip is the ideal move to pair with it due to its wide neutral coverage and high damage output for a low energy cost. Breaking Swipe is not ideal, costing more than Dragon Energy to use; the Attack debuff is not worth dealing much less damage. Outrage and Dragon Pulse are much worse than Dragon Energy. Hyper Beam is just Vise Grip but worse.
Regidrago's stats are surprisingly solid in the Great League - comparable to those of Goodra's. What Regidrago lacks in coverage it makes up with sheer damage, which can overwhelm just about anything that doesn't resist it. Even Steel-type Pokemon can struggle to cleanly defeat it. It even has a way around many Fairy Types thanks to Vise Grip.
