Type: Dark / Dragon

Abilities:

Physical Characteristics:

• Hydreigon is a three-headed, dragon-like Pokémon with a predominantly dark blue body and purple underbelly.
• Its middle head is the largest and features a fierce, intimidating appearance with sharp fangs.
• The other two heads are smaller and extend from its shoulders, each with matching eyes but lacking a brain of their own, functioning more as supplementary appendages.
• It has six black wings with purple webbing, giving it a formidable presence in flight.
• The body is slender, and it stands on two black, clawed feet, which contribute to its menacing look.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Hydreigon is known for its destructive nature, often attacking anything that moves without hesitation.
• It resides in remote mountain ranges and caves, preferring areas where it can fly freely and hunt for prey.
• Its aggressive temperament makes it a solitary Pokémon, rarely seen in groups unless accompanied by its pre-evolutions.

• Notable for its access to moves like Flamethrower, Flash Cannon, and Earth Power, making it capable of countering a wide range of opponents.
• Strong against Psychic, Ghost, and Dragon types, but vulnerable to Fairy, Ice, Fighting, and Bug types.
• Its Levitate ability provides immunity to Ground-type moves, allowing it to switch in safely against certain threats.

Evolution:

• Evolves from Zweilous starting at level 64, which in turn evolves from Deino starting at level 50.
• This evolution line is known for its high level requirements, making Hydreigon a late-game powerhouse in many Pokémon games.

Interesting Facts:

• Hydreigon's design is inspired by the Yamata no Orochi, a mythical eight-headed dragon from Japanese folklore, though it has three heads.
• Known for its portrayal as a fearsome adversary in many Pokémon media, including the games and anime.
• Despite its aggressive tendencies, Hydreigon can form a strong bond with its trainer if raised from a young age, particularly from its Deino stage.
