Regidrago best moveset

Two builds keep showing up. Pokémon GO wants Dragon Breath and Dragon Energy. The Smogon Scarlet/Violet singles analysis wants Choice Specs and special attacks. For doubles, the historical VGC example below uses Dragon Fang, Protect, and Tailwind support, with its event date and ruleset kept explicit.

The ability that makes the special set loud

Dragon's Maw multiplies Dragon moves by 1.5. The official Pokédex and Bulbapedia both say that. Dragon Energy is the signature: 150 base power, 100% accuracy, 5 PP, and it hits every foe. Bulbapedia and the Smogon analysis both note that the power drops as Regidrago's HP drops. Attack and Special Attack are both 100, so a physical set is legal. The special pool is the one with Dragon Energy, Draco Meteor, and Earth Power, which is why I treat physical as the alternate rather than the default.

Pokémon GO

The GO database lists Dragon Breath plus Dragon Energy at 14.2 DPS. That percentage-of-baseline figure, 135%, is the same single catalog. Dragon Breath is listed at 4 energy per turn, and Dragon Energy at 2.4 damage per energy, which is the PvP argument for the same pair. Charged backups printed in both the database and the GO encyclopedia page: Outrage, Breaking Swipe, Dragon Pulse, Hyper Beam, Vise Grip. Breath and Energy came from the June 2025 event window, so older catches need an Elite TM.

Physical alternative

A physical Regidrago can run Dragon Dance with Scale Shot or Outrage. Both attacking stats are 100, so the raw number does not forbid it. I still point readers at the special set because Dragon Energy does not exist on the physical side. The singles table does not specify a Tera type; the separate historical doubles team below used Steel.

VGC doubles: a dated tournament example

Nils Dunlop finished second at the 2024-season Stuttgart Regional, held on 9–10 December 2023 under Scarlet/Violet Regulation E. Pokémon’s official Masters team page and Victory Road’s event coverage both show Regidrago alongside Tornadus, Gholdengo, Rillaboom, Hearthflame Ogerpon, and Rapid-Strike Urshifu. The official team sheet gives Regidrago Dragon Fang, Dragon’s Maw, Steel Tera, and Dragon Energy / Draco Meteor / Earth Power / Protect. Tornadus carries Tailwind; Ogerpon has Follow Me.

The practical aim is to attack before Regidrago loses HP, because Dragon Energy weakens with damage taken. Smogon’s separately published doubles analysis, dated April–May 2025, explains that Tailwind helps preserve this opening, Draco Meteor covers a weakened Regidrago’s attacking turn, and Earth Power targets Dragon-resistant foes. Protect can buy a turn for support, while a Steel attacker such as Gholdengo pressures Fairy-types. Those are team-building principles; the tournament result is not a matchup win rate.

Pikalytics’ separate 2024 Regulation F best-of-three archive also lists the same four moves and Dragon Fang prominently. That archive is a different historical format, so its usage figures are not attached to Dunlop’s team. This section records past doubles use and makes no claim about a current November 2026 ruleset.
