Hydreigon (Japanese: サザンドラ Sazandora) is a dual-type Dark/Dragon pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

It evolves from Zweilous starting at level 64. It is the final form of Deino.

Biology

Hydreigon is a three-headed, draconic Pokémon with six thin, black wings on its back each of which ends in two points. On its neck is a fuchsia-colored collar which surrounds its head. The main head is dark blue and its eyes are black with fuchsia pupils. Its hands are also black and harbor a head in each one; these heads are similarly blue with black eyes. There are small collars on the inside of its hands. On its abdomen are two overall-like fuchsia stripes. Its feet appear atrophied, having no claws or defined soles and two or three small toes. Its tail also sports a fuchsia stripe with a black tuft on the end of it. Hydreigon is a violent, destructive Pokémon. It will attack anything that moves, determining it a foe. Its heads can consume anything.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity: Hydreigon was at first described by Munna as an evil Pokémon who is pure destruction in Pokémon form, devours everything in his path, and said to be the cause of the world's balance being disrupted. In truth, Munna's words about him was all a lie to trick the player, and Hydregion is really the physical embodiment of the Voice of Life, the form of the world's will to live, who called upon humans to save the Pokémon world as no Pokémon could hope to save it. He originally first contacted the player through a dream before Munna intercepted the vision, and by using Hydreigon's voice, she tricked the player into thinking Hydreigon was evil.

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 the Brutal Pokémon.
  • Hydreigon is tied with Tyranitar and Darkrai for highest base stat total of all Dark-type Pokémon, and is tied with Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp for the highest base stat total of all non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.
  • Hydreigon has the highest Special Attack base stat of all non-legendary Dark-type and Dragon-type Pokémon.
  • Hydreigon is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to not have Attack as its highest base stat.
  • Hydreigon is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that does not have a base stat over 125.
    • However, it is the only one not to have a base stat under 90.

Origin

Hydreigon is based on Yamata no Orochi. It may also incorporate elements of hydras and Slavic dragons.

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 hydra, or Ghidorah.
