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.

Using a liquid poison, Dragalge indiscriminately attacks anything that wanders into its territory. This poison can corrode the undersides of boats.

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.

Sun & Moon Dragalge Best Moveset

Life Orb and Adaptability form the backbone. Dragalge invests spread EVs to play its special attacker role properly, and Modest nature pushes Sp. Atk higher. Draco Meteor handles the heavy lifting on offense. The remaining moves rounds it out.

You'll want to breed for Acid Armor and Haze on Dragalge. These egg moves aren't just nice to have. Combined with STAB from Draco Meteor and Sludge Wave, they expand what Dragalge can actually threaten in practice.

Dragalge Guide

  • In Sun & Moon, Adaptability changes the entire equation for Dragalge. The 494 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Draco Meteor with Life Orb is the standard set.

  • In Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, 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.
