Pokemon Go Hydreigon: Best Moveset for PvP and Raids
NianticHydreigon is a powerful pseudo-Legendary Pokemon that trainers can encounter in Pokemon Go. Let’s break down this Dark/Dragon-type’s best moveset for both PvP and Raid content.
Deino will be featured wild spawn and Egg Pokemon during the World of Wonders: Taken Over event, meaning this is an excellent opportunity to catch and evolve it into Hydreigon.
Once you’ve got a Hydreigon, though, you’ll probably be wondering what its best moveset is, and whether it’s even worth using for PvP Battles in the Pokemon Go Battle League or as an attacker in Raid Battles.
Below, you’ll find all the details you need to get the most out of Hydreigon in Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go Hydreigon best moveset for PvP
Hydreigon’s PvP moveset should be Dragon Breath as the Fast Move with Brutal Swing and Dragon Pulse as Charged Moves.
For Hydreigon’s Fast Moves options are admittedly a bit of a toss-up, as both Bite and Dragon Breath do the same damage, have the same energy yield, and benefit from Stab. However, Dragon Breath ever-so-slightly edges it out in terms of energy per turn.
It’s Charged Move slots should go to Brutal Swing and Dragon Pulse, though Brutal Swing is a Community Day move and available through the use of Elite TMs.
Should trainers not have access to Brutal Swing, Dark Pulse would be the next best option. Still, the second Charged Move should go to Dragon Pulse.
Pokemon Go Hydreigon best moveset for Raids
For Raid content, trainers should equip Hydreigon with Bite as the Fast Move with Brutal Swing and Dragon Pulse as the Charged Moves.
In PvE content, Hydreigon is bit more effective as a Dark-type attacker, making Bite the better Fast Move option.
Again, Brutal Swing and Dark Pulse should be set as the Charged Moves, but Dark Pulse can replace Brutal Swing if necessary.
