Card 161White Flare #161 Pokémon Card

Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokémon, is a fearsome Dark/Dragon-type pseudo-legendary introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Zweilous, which in turn evolves from Deino. Native to the harsh, desolate lands of the Unova region, Hydreigon is known for its six heads – three functional heads and three smaller, wing-like heads on its back. The main head controls the other two, which are actually hand-like appendages used for attacking. Its aggressive and destructive nature is well-documented in Pokédex entries, often depicting it as a relentless force that devours anything in its path. In the anime, Hydreigon has been portrayed as a powerful opponent, notably belonging to characters like Iris. Its unique design, combining reptilian and draconic features with multiple heads, makes it a visually striking Pokémon. In competitive play, Hydreigon has historically been a strong special attacker, leveraging its diverse movepool and high Special Attack stat. Its dual typing provides both offensive and defensive advantages, making it a formidable presence in many teams. The concept of a three-headed dragon has roots in various mythologies, lending Hydreigon a sense of ancient power and menace.
