NU Dragalge

[Oathkeeper]

Dragalge @ Black Sludge
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 HP / 124 SpA / 132 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Bomb
- Flip Turn
- Toxic Spikes

Not all algae is useless. In fact, this bit of algae with an awesome typing in Dragon / Poison works nicely as both a wallbreaker and a Toxic Spikes setter for balance and bulky offense teams, and it's able to check common threats in NU like Rotom-C, Sylveon, and Vileplume. Another highlight for Dragalge is the gift of pivoting. With Dragalge's new move in Flip Turn this generation, it gets to pivot on Steel-types that give it trouble like Bronzong and Escavalier to safely bring in a teammate, like Arcanine or Choice Band Sirfetch'd, to properly deal with and pressure them. Similarly, to those Steel-types, Ground-types like specially defensive Gastrodon and Golurk also beat Dragalge one-on-one; Grass-type partners like Rotom-C and Decidueye will send them running.

Tagging NU QC people Abejas banks Davon Finchinator Ho3nConfirm3d lax poh quziel Rabia rozes.
Thanks in advance.

 

[Finchinator]

I would mention a target or two of Focus Blast — think copper — in that sentence.

rest looks fine although mentioning salazzle as a good partner seems sorta fringe to me as it’s hard to fit both poison types on the same team, so maybe change out that little bit for another example

approved/checked, 1/1

 

[Oathkeeper]

Ready for GP!

 

[Rabia]

there's no reason to mention Focus Blast in this because it's not in the set; remove any mention of it.

there's too much explanation of basic things in this that really don't need to be included; the EV spread and Adaptability are basic enough. this should be focusing on Dragalge's function within the metagame

 

[Oathkeeper]

Rabia tagging you here since you went offline on PS lol. Ready for another look over

 

[Rabia]

Not all algae is useless. In fact, this bit of algae with an awesome typing in Dragon / Poison works nicely as both a wallbreaker (RC) and a Toxic Spikes setter, and defensive switch-in for balanced or bulky offensive teams, being and it's able to check common threats in NU like Rotom-C, Sylveon, and Vileplume. Another highlight for Dragalge is the gift of pivoting. With Dragalge's new move in Flip Turn being a new move to Dragalge this generation, it gets to pivot on Steel-types that give it trouble like Bronzong and Escavalier to safely bring in a teammate, (AC) like Arcanine or Choice Band Sirfetch'd, (AC) to properly deal with and pressure them. Since Dragalge does have trouble dealing with such Steel-types, partners like Arcanine and Choice Band Sirfetch'd can take advantage of Dragalge's Flip Turn and come in safely to offensively pressure them. Similarly to those Steel-types, Ground-types like specially defensive Gastrodon and Golurk also check Dragalge in a 1v1 situation. beat Dragalge one-on-one; Grass-type partners like Rotom-C and Decidueye will send them running.

1/1
