Trivia

  • No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Hydreigon and its evolutionary relatives.
  • Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Hydreigon evolves from its pre-evolution later than any other Pokémon, at level 64.
  • Hydreigon shares the same species name with Sharpedo. They are both known as Brutal Pokémon.
  • Hydreigon is tied with Tyranitar and Darkrai for highest base stat total of all Dark-type Pokémon.
  • Hydreigon has the highest Special Attack of all non-legendary Dark-type Pokémon.
    • Hydreigon is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to not have Attack as its highest stat.
  • Hydreigon's evolutionary family, along with Salamence's, are the only Pokémon exclusively in the Dragon Egg Group.
  • Hydreigon can learn moves belonging to 16 of the 17 types; it cannot learn any Grass-type moves.

Origin

Hydreigon is based on Yamata no Orochi. It may also incorporate elements of hydras, Slavic dragons and the kaiju King Ghidorah, the latter also being based on Yamata no Orochi but having only three heads rather than the full eight.

Originally, according to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Hydreigon and its pre-evolutions were intended to be cybernetic dragons incorporating aspects of tanks within their bodies before being redesigned around the theme of Yamata no Orochi. The tank track-like markings on Hydreigon's body are a remnant of this design. Furthermore, although Yamata no Orochi typically has eight heads in mythology, Hydreigon was drawn with a fewer number of heads in order to appear less confusing.

Name origin

Hydreigon may be a combination of hydra, drei (German for three), and dragon.

Sazandora may be a combination of 三 san (three) and dragon or hydra.
