Pokemon Go players can officially start catching Dragalge on Tuesday, April 13 at 10:00 AM local time as a part of Rivals’ Week. The special event offers a handful of ways to easily get the ‘mon.
The Gen VI Dragon has been one of the most hyped critters to join the mobile game as its Poison-typing makes it a formidable contender in raids as well as the Great League.

Great League
 |
Fast Attack: Acid / Dragon Tail | Charge Attack: Aqua Tail / Outrage |
Dragalge is interesting on paper as it has access to Water, Dragon, and Poison attacks. Conveniently, it can also use Water-Gun and Acid which both generate energy quickly. So choosing which one will purely be based on which ‘mon you are trying to counter.
Trainers will run into the same situation with its Charge attack. For those that want to quickly bait out shields, we recommend Aqua Tail and Outrage. Both not only do a decent amount of damage, but their cost to launch them is actually pretty low.
Ultra League
|
Fast Attack: Acid / Water Gun | Charge Attack: Aqua Tail / Outrage |
While Acid and Water Gun are fairly similar, the former has a slight edge in total damage per second. Its Acid will tear through Wigglytuff and other Fairy ‘mon, but its Dragon-typing leaves it vulnerable to them.
As of the meta in April 2021, we recommend sticking closer to its Water-type moves to take down any Fire Pokemon. Aqua Tail continues to be a great pick, considering its low energy cost and decent damage.
Master League
|
Fast Attack: Water Gun/ Acid | Charge Attack: Outrage / Aqua Tail |
Unfortunately, Dragalge is not the greatest pick for Master League and is outclassed by the creatures that currently dominate the meta. Its dual-typing actually works against it. For example, Outrage can take down Zekrom, but its Electric moves will bring down the Water-type instantly.
Most of the popular characters in ML also are not weak to Poison, taking away any advantage it has in the earlier tiers. Trainers absolutely set on bringing the Kalos character into battle should use it to bait out its opponent’s shields using Water Gun and Aqua Tail.

Thankfully, Dragalge fairs a bit better in PVE raids. Its access to Acid and and Dragon makes it a versatile pick for several popular 5-star PVE bosses in Pokemon Go.

Conversely, its pairing of Water and Dragon-typing lets it use both Water Gun and Outrage to deadly effect. The Gen VI ‘mon also can use Gunk Shot which does an incredible amount of damage.
