Dragalge Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Adaptability changes the entire equation for Dragalge. The 494 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Toxic Spikes with Black Sludge is the standard set.
Adaptability is what you want on Dragalge. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Poison Point, Poison Touch) work on paper but Adaptability is what makes Dragalge worth using.
Base 44 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Dragalge is a special attacker with base 97 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Toxic Spikes, Draco Meteor, Sludge Bomb, and Sludgewave on Dragalge. Toxic Spikes is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Dragalge joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 7 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
