As a Legendary, Regidrago gets solid stats across the board, though it doesn't dominate any single category. Dragon from Gen 8 gives it a unique niche. Only weak to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy. Can go either physical or special depending on the set.
Raw HP carries Regidrago's bulk more than the defenses do. Defense barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A near-impossible to catch Dragon Orb Pokemon that yields 3 HP EVs on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
An academic theory proposes that Regidrago’s arms were once the head of an ancient dragon Pokémon. The theory remains unproven.
Its body is composed of crystallized dragon energy. Regidrago is said to have the powers of every dragon Pokémon.
Regidrago Weakness
AvgRegidrago's Dragon typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy moves. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Regidrago's overall bulk (200/50/50) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
You can't breed Regidrago or evolve it into anything else. This Dragon legendary packs 580 stats and doesn't need a chain to be relevant.
How to Evolve
Choice Specs buys the setup turn. Regidrago clicks Dragon Dance, then starts cleaning with Draco Meteor and Normal coverage. Adamant nature with max Attack and Speed EVs makes sure nothing tanks a boosted hit comfortably.

Leveling does the heavy lifting. Regidrago picks up Hammer Arm and Thrash along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add Normal and Dark coverage and more, but the foundation's already strong by then.
