Other weaknesses include Bug, Dragon, and Fighting attacks. It is strong against Dark, Electric, Fire, Ghost, Grass, and Water moves.

In general, Hydreigon is one of the most powerful Pokémon you can get in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. All of its stats are really high, with attack and special attack being the highest standouts. If you decide to go through with grinding these evolutions, you will be greatly rewarded. Keep it in your party and make sure it doesn’t faint so it is always earning experience. If it comes out during battle, it will also gain more experience.
