The seven-headed serpent terrorizes UU! With Nasty Plot, Hydrapple is a great setup sweeper, being able to set up on Excadrill, Slowking, and Barraskewda. Draco Meteor is Hydrapple's strongest STAB option, OHKOing Latios and Tornadus-T without a boost and Zapdos at +2. Alternatively, Fickle Beam can be used as a more accurate option that does not harshly lower special attack, and can potentially be more powerful than Draco Meteor; however, it lacks immediate power. Earth Power is a great and mandatory coverage option that allows Hydrapple to deal with foes such as Tinkaton and Hisuian Arcanine. Tera Steel enables Hydrapple to set up on Pokemon such as Azumarill, Tornadus-T, and Ogerpon-C while flipping its matchup against Latios and Zapdos. This EV spread lets Hydrapple avoid getting OHKOed by Zapdos's Hurricane and 2HKOed by Keldeo's Secret Sword as well as boosting the odds of it OHKOing Assault Vest Tornadus-T after Stealth Rock. Hydrapple has a lot of trouble with Flying- and Bug-types such as Tornadus-T, Lokix, and Scizor, so teammates that can help out with them such as Tinkaton and Skeledirge are appreciated. In return, Hydrapple helps to check Ground-types such as Excadrill and Sandy Shocks, which trouble these potential partners.
