Dragalge

Mega Dragalge sits at 1.8% usage and rank 64 in singles, anchoring dedicated Regenerator pivots on the back of 123 Special Defense. The Poison-Dragon typing absorbs Fire, Water, Electric, and Fighting at 0.5x and Grass at 0.25x, but the Ice-Ground-Psychic-Dragon weakness pool means it never holds a line alone; Steel- and Dragon-type partners like Corviknight and Archaludon are required to absorb the hits it cannot. Its leading send rate in tournament play confirms its role as the structural node of the squad.

Playstyle：The set revolves around pivoting: Flip Turn at 23% and Draco Meteor at 22.3% form the rotation-and-burst backbone, Toxic at 16.8% and Toxic Spikes at 9.3% build the residual game, and Sludge Wave at 13.1% patches coverage gaps. Spreads cluster on Sassy 32/0/32/0/2/0 (29.7%) and Sassy 32/0/2/0/32/0 (20.6%), both pouring the spare points into Defense or Special Defense to toggle between physical and special intake. Calm 32/0/0/2/32/0 (9.2%) commits fully to Special Defense for safe special switch-ins. Corviknight at 15.8% completes the Regenerator pair, while Archaludon at 7.2% covers its Dragon and Ground weaknesses.

Doubles usage sits at just 0.32% with a rank of 113, a steep drop from singles. Protect at 23.3%, Draco Meteor at 19.2%, and Sludge Bomb at 19.1% form the core triangle, but 44 Speed leaves it almost always moving last and unable to control tempo on its own. Modest 32/0/2/32/0/0 (12%) and Quiet 32/0/2/32/0/0 (10.3%) both pour investment into Special Attack, marking it as a backline nuke rather than a true pivot. Incineroar at 11% and Sinistcha at 10.4% supply the Intimidate and disruption it natively lacks.

Dragalge registers a 0.11% presence on the single ladder and an effective 0% usage share, leaving it outside the metagame conversation. Its Poison-Dragon offensive profile looks broad on paper, yet a base Speed of 44 means it almost never moves first, and the split between 97 Special Attack and 123 Special Defense leaves it neither threatening enough to break walls nor durable enough across the physical axis to pivot reliably. Weaknesses to Ice, Ground, Psychic, and Dragon give common threats comfortable answers.

In doubles Dragalge sits at 0.02% usage and rank 250, firmly on the fringe. Adaptability stabilises its Poison and Dragon STAB, and the wider coverage spread of Focus Blast and Thunderbolt gives it a usable offensive profile against the format's reduced defensive benchmarks. Protect at 20.3% among top moves frames it as a tempo piece rather than a wallbreaker, since its 44 base Speed forces it to lean on Protect, Substitute, and partner support to survive each rotation.

Playstyle：The core set revolves around Sludge Bomb at 23.8%, with Protect at 20.3% and Draco Meteor at 20.1% rounding out the standard rotation. Life Orb at 66.5% is the default item, pairing with Adaptability for maximum damage output, while Leftovers at 20.7% leans into the 123 Special Defense for long attrition games. All three top spreads run Modest, dumping 32 EVs into Special Attack and splitting the remainder between Special Defense and Defense to patch the weaker physical side. The most common partner is Sinistcha at 13.2%, whose bulk and sustain cover Dragalge's crippling Speed deficit.
