Dragalge is one of the rarest species in Pokemon Go, and players are eager to capture it in the mobile game. In addition, players also want to know about its shiny availability and just how good it is in PvP and PvE battles. So, here’s everything you need to know about Dragalge in Pokemon Go.

Dragon types are usually among the strongest and rarest species in Pokemon Go, and players spare no effort in adding them to their Pokedex. Gen 6 has some of the most popular Dragon-type Pokemon, and now players have set their eyes on the elusive Dragalge.

Dragalge is a Poison and Dragon-type Pokemon that is known for its amazing type combination, creative design, and ability to beat Fairy-type Pokemon. Now, Pokemon Go players are looking forward to getting Dragalge and using it in PvP and PvE battles. But that’s not all because they also want to find out if shiny Dragalge is up for grabs.

So, here’s all you need to know about Dragalge in Pokemon Go, including its shiny availability and how good it is in PvP and PvE.

How to get Dragalge in Pokemon Go

You can get Dragalge in Pokemon Go by catching a Skrelp and evolving it to Dragalge with 50 Candy.

Skrelp is available as a wild spawn and also in 12 km Eggs that you get after beating Team Go Rocket Leaders.

Can Dragalge be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, shiny Dragalge is available in Pokemon Go.

Lucky players can encounter a shiny Skrelp in the wild and then evolve it to a shiny Dragalge. Shiny Pokemon are rare in the game and the odds of encountering a shiny Skrelp in Pokemon Go are 1 in 500 or 0.2% chance.

Is Dragalge good in Pokemon Go PvP?

Yes, Dragalge is good in Pokemon Go PvP, particularly the Great and Ultra League.

Dragalge’s type combination of Poison and Dragon removes its weakness to Fairy-type Pokemon. In addition, it also resists Fighting-type attacks, putting the common Counter users at a disadvantage against Dragalge. Finally, it can beat many Grass and Electric Pokemon in the Ultra League, making Dragalage easy to fit into PvP teams.

Best Dragalge Pokemon Go PvP moveset

The best Dragalge PvP moveset is Dragon Tail as a Fast Move combined with Outrage and Aqua Tail as Charged Moves.

Dragon Tail has one of the highest damage outputs of all PvP Fast Moves and it also gets STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) when used by Dragalge. If shields are up, Dragalge can beat many Pokemon with Dragon Tail alone.

Aqua Tail is good for baiting shields, while Outrage should be reserved for the end of the battle when there are no more shields left to use. We recommend building a Dragalge mainly for the Ultra League, giving this format priority over the Great League.

Is Dragalge good in Pokemon Go PvE?

No, Dragalge is not good in Pokemon Go PvE.

Its Attack stat of 177 is too low to make much of an impact in Raids or Gym battles. However, if a Raid Battle has more than 10 players in the lobby, you can give Dragalge a shot once your other counters have fainted.

Best Dragalge Pokemon Go PvE moveset

If you’re still looking to use Dragalge in Pokemon Go PvE to flex a rare species, you can go with Dragon Tail as a fast move paired with Outrage as a Charged Move.

We still recommend using other Dragon-type Pokemon such as Mega Rayquaza, Mega Salamence, Haxorus, Garchomp, and Dialga.
