HydreigonLegendary Treasures #99 Pokémon Card

Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokémon, is a formidable Dark/Dragon-type pseudo-legendary introduced in Generation V. It is the final evolution of a three-stage line, evolving from Zweilous, which itself evolves from Deino. Hydreigon is known for its six wings and three heads, though only the central head has a brain; the other two heads are merely arms that it uses to attack and devour everything in its path. Its Pokédex entries consistently describe it as a violent and destructive creature that travels the skies, attacking anything that moves, often mistaking it for a foe. This aggressive behavior makes it a powerful force in the Pokémon world, often depicted as a villainous Pokémon in the anime, notably under the ownership of villains or as a wild menace. In the games, its unique typing and high Special Attack stat make it a popular choice for competitive battles. Hydreigon's design is heavily influenced by the hydra, a multi-headed serpent from Greek mythology, and possibly also by German folklore's Drachen. This blend of mythological influences contributes to its imposing presence and dark aesthetic, cementing its place as an iconic and feared Pokémon from the Unova region.
