[SET COMMENTS]
Hydreigon serves as a powerful wallbreaker with its powerful STAB attacks and high Special Attack. Mega Launcher + Dragon Pulse or Dark Pulse allows Hydreigon to reliably fire off its boosted STAB moves, while Dragon's Maw + Draco Meteor offers the most wallbreaking potential, chunking special walls such as Sand Stream Garganacl and Clodsire and having a chance to OHKO RegenVest Roaring Moon. U-turn allows Hydreigon to maintain momentum on defensive switch-ins like Blissey, while Focus Blast allows Hydreigon to better break walls like defensive Kingambit and RegenVest Iron Treads. Even with Flash Cannon, Hydreigon struggles against Fairy-types like RegenVest Tinkaton and Florges, so it appreciates partners like Iron Moth and Well-Baked Body Corviknight who can handle them. Hydreigon also suffers from subpar Speed, so it partners well with teammates like Corviknight and Iron Treads, which can pivot and switch into faster offensive threats such as Meowscarada and Chien-Pao. Powerful physical attackers like Choice Band Slither Wing and Swords Dance Cinderace also synergize well with Hydreigon for their ability to threaten and take advantage of Hydreigon's checks like RegenVest Tinkaton and Blissey.

Hydreigon serves as a powerful wallbreaker with its powerful STAB attacks and high special attack. (reordering because you should address moves in the order they're presented in the set). Mega Launcher + Dragon Pulse or Dark Pulse allows Hydreigon to reliably fire off its boosted STAB moves, while Dragon's Maw + Draco Meteor offers the most wallbreaking potential, chunking specially defensive walls such as Sand Stream Garganacl and Clodsire, and having a chance to OHKO RegenVest Goodra. U-turn allows Hydreigon to maintain momentum on defensive switch-ins like Blissey while Focus Blast allows Hydreigon to better break walls like defensive Kingambit and RegenVest Iron Treads. Beads of Ruin boosts all of Hydreigon's attacks, Mega Launcher further boosts Dark Pulse to better spam with no immunity and boosts a weaker but no drawback Dragon Pulse while Dragon's Maw further boosts its most powerful attack, Draco Meteor, to more easily break neutral walls like Sand Stream Garganacl. Hydreigon struggles against Fairy-types like RegenVest Tinkaton and Florges, so it appreciates partners like Iron Moth who can handle them. Hydreigon also suffers from subpar speed and so partners well with teammates like Corviknight and Iron Treads who can pivot and switch into and handle faster offensive threats (such as...), Hydreigon fails against, dually serving to pivot Hydreigon in safely. Powerful physical attackers like Choice Band Slither Wing and Swords Dance Cinderace also synergise well with Hydreigon for their ability to threaten and take advantage of Hydreigon's checks like RegenVest Tinkaton. (may be obvious but I'd also write about partners that can check other common Fairies such as Hatterene and Scream Tail)

Maybe mention Blissey? Since that's coming up more often now
