    The main reason I love this channel so much is because it tells you interesting battle strategies used by Pokemon you otherwise would NEVER think about. Hazards + Dragon Tail Phasing is such an underrated strategy, especially when you have the PERFECT abilities (Rough Skin & Mold Breaker) to punish attempts to thwart it. I may have to use Druddigon sometime, its battle strategy seems rather interesting!

      @JoeyJoJoJr17 Месяц назад

      I think Dragon Rush would've been good enough. Gunk Shot, Iron Tail, and Dragon Rush all have imperfect accuracy but relatively high base damage. While you don't want to use Zoom Lens on a Pokemon with Sheer Force to benefit from Life Orb's lack of recoil, you could patch up accuracy with Hone Claws (which it DOES learn) in the 4th slot, or more likely, Earthquake and just deal with the Durant-like Hustle accuracy. Dragon/Poison/Steel all get walled by a high defense steel type, so you'd definitely always need EQ one way or another.

      @@egbertmilton4003 I don't think giving it Rock type would be that good for it. Would negate its Grass and Water resistances, and give it weaknesses to Fighting, Steel, and Ground (and 4x weakness to Ice). Imo not worth it just for a boost on Rock Slide (which it can get from Sheer Force) and resistances to Normal and Flying (though admittedly 4x resist to Fire). Though maybe if it got an evolution or a Mega with a new signature ability like Thick Fat (Stony Skin?) that gives it Normal/Flying resistance without having to be Rock type?

    And I guess we could finish up Gen 2 with Sunflora, Magcargo (Slugma Male Grindset paying off when?) and Corsola. I think those are the only gen 2 Pokemon left to wrap it up.

    Back then I really didn't like Druddigon's design but have since grown to appreciate it. Also, I'd buff its stats to 520, all in defenses & HP.

    Druddigon needs to get the Cross-Evolution Stage(s) in order to get the strongest Base Stats around 500 at least about 550 up to 555 and then most of all: a 2nd Elemental-Type portion combined with the next learnable moves such as: Dragon Dance and Steel Wing
    Druddigon also needs to get a 2nd Elemental-Type combined with the different Abilities to the point of finally getting the Regional Variants’ Forms in order to also get the surprising different Cross-Generation Evolution stage(s,) even if also truly means over and over again

    Druddigon sure has been a steady offensive support mon & will likely stay so in its next showups. I find that while fossil pairs have been done in here, one fossil poke I've yet to have found a video on by FSG is Carracosta despite there being one for Archeops. Does anyone else here feel it's time for a video on Carracosta to fill this gap?

    Ah Druddigon, the Pokemon Nergigante. I do like this chap, even if it's no compare to Haxorus or Hydregion. Would be neat if it got an evolution or stat buff down the line, perhaps leaning into its defensive profile.

  • @JareBear1
    @JareBear1 4 месяца назад +1

    Druddigon only has a base stat of 485, so the fact it was able to do so well in the competitive scene is pretty impressive. Giving him an evolution is obvious, but I don't think it's truly needed. Give him a recovery move so that he has more longevity. Other than that, he already has a good move pool and abilities, so it's difficult to say what else?
