Biology

Hydreigon is a scary, three-headed Pokémon that devours everything in its path. The heads on its arms do not have brains; only the central one does. It uses all three heads to consume and destroy everything, and responds to movement by attacking: it bites anything that moves, because the three heads take turns sinking their teeth into the opponent and their attacks will not slow until their target goes down.

There is a slew of stories about villages that were destroyed by Hydreigon. It is very intelligent, but thinks only of destruction. The Paradox Pokémon Iron Jugulis bears a heavy resemblance to it, as it is rumored to be the offspring of a Hydreigon that fell in love with a machine.

Design & origin

Hydreigon's name is derived from "three" in German (drei), hydra, and dragon.
