[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

  • Dragon Claw is Druddigon's STAB move.
  • Outrage can be used instead of Dragon Claw for a lot more power; however, after being locked into Outrage, the opponent can switch out into a Pokemon that can wall Druddigon which then can set up and sweep your team.
  • Sucker Punch is Druddigon's priority move that can come in handy especially if the foe is at low HP and can be KOed by Sucker Punch.
  • Fire Punch is a good coverage move that can hit Steel-types such as Bronzong and Escavalier.
  • Gunk Shot is another great coverage move that can deal a large amount of damage to the Pokemon such as Tangrowth, Virizion, and Aromatisse

Set Details
========

  • Sheer Force because the damage boost is good. Damage boost > Rough skin chip damage
  • LO is for the extra damage making Druddigon do as much as possible.
  • CB can be used for even more damage; however, Druddigon doesn't appreciate being locked into one move.
  • 252 Atk for maximum damage output. Adamant nature so that Druddigon can do most damage.
  • 20 Speed to outspeed uninvested base 50 Speed Pokemon such as Registeel + Tangrowth.
  • The rest is put into HP to up Druddigon's bulk.

Usage Tips
========

  • Use Druddigon as a wallbreaker instead of a late-game sweeper.
  • Predicting is huge with Druddigon because of its plethora of coverage moves.
  • Druddigon's job should be to KO something on the opposing team that is completely walling your team or a set up sweeper. If needed, sacrifice Druddigon to get the job done.

Moves
========

  • Stealth Rock is this set's main niche. It provides chip damage that may add up if your opponent frequently switches Pokemon.
  • Dragon Claw is Druddigon's STAB move. It packs quite a punch to anything that isn't resisting it (and alomomola cuz momfish).
  • Fire Punch can be used to give Druddigon an option against Steel-types such as Registeel and Magneton.
  • Glare is a great move that can cripple the foe. With its 100% accuracy, Glare is one of Druddigon's best moves. However, Druddigon has trouble substituting a coverage move for Glare. 4-moveslot syndrome or something - ill find out later.
  • Sucker Punch is also an option. It would be Druddigon's only priority move which could come in handy especially if the foe is at low HP.
  • Gunk Shot is for Fairy- and Grass-types. Although its accuracy is not the best, Gunk Shot can hit and do a lot of damage to Pokemon that Druddigon lures in such as Aromatisse.

Set Details
========

  • Leftovers is passive recovery which always helps, especially in Druddigon's case where it has no recovery at all.
  • Rough Skin can punish physical attackers.
  • Adamant nature + 252 Attack is so that Druddigon can do the max amount of damage.
  • 20 Speed is to outspeed other base 40 Speed Pokemon such as Registeel and Tangrowth
  • The rest of the EVs are put into HP to make Druddigon as bulky as possible.

Usage Tips
========

  • Druddigon acts as a great lead, as it can set up Stealth Rock in the early-game.
  • Druddigon has Glare, a 100% chance to paralyze the foe. This comes particularly in handy when you are against a quick team.
  • When using Druddigon, you must predict a lot more to maximize Druddigon's value. It already has powerful coverage moves, you just need to know when to use them.
