Pokedex Entry

The red skin on its face is harder than rock. In narrow caves, it squares off against its enemies and charges face-first right into them.

It infiltrates tunnels that Pokémon like Diglett and Dugtrio have dug and quietly waits for prey to pass through.

Druddigon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Druddigon's 485 base stat total fool you. Sheer Force is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Stealth Rock with Rocky Helmet is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Cloyster (Ice), Salamence (Dragon), and Togekiss (Fairy) when using Druddigon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Sheer Force on Druddigon. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Druddigon also gets Rough Skin and Mold Breaker, but they don't compare.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Druddigon fills the wallbreaker role. It's a physical attacker with base 120 Attack. Base 48 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Stealth Rock, Glare, Dragontail, and Gunkshot on Druddigon. Stealth Rock is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Introduced in Black & White, Druddigon has appeared in 7 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
