Stats & Training

Bulk defines Dragalge's stat line. Sp. Def and Sp. Atk anchor the defensive side, but Speed can't keep up offensively. Tough to catch and worth 2 Sp. Def EVs.

Their poison is strong enough to eat through the hull of a tanker, and they spit it indiscriminately at anything that enters their territory.

Dragalge Weakness

Dragalge's Poison/Dragon typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice, Ground, Psychic, and Dragon. With 7 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Dragalge's special bulk (base 123 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Dragalge Best Moveset

This build takes hits and hits back. Black Sludge provides Poison-type passive recovery, Adaptability supports the gameplan, and max HP and Sp. Atk EVs mean Dragalge doesn't crumble to chip damage. Plus the remaining moves backing it up.

STAB runs through Draco Meteor and Gunk Shot for the basics, but Dragalge's real strength is the 10-type coverage spread. Normal and Water hit common defensive types, and the movepool keeps going.

Dragalge 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.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Dragalge can Mega Evolve into Mega Dragalge. That's 594 BST, up from 494. The stat redistribution often changes its best role. Mega Stone required, one per battle.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Cloyster (Ice), Swampert (Ground), and Gardevoir (Psychic) when using Dragalge. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dragon-type attackers are also a problem.

  • 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.

Game Availability

Since debuting in X & Y, Dragalge has appeared in 7 titles over 5 generations. Along the way, it received a Mega form in Generation 6, keeping it relevant across different competitive metas.
