Is regidrago better defensively or offensively?

Question

It has 200 hp, but only 50 in defenses. It also has 100 in both attacking stats, and so it fits awkwardly in both roles, but it also basically gets a dragon type water spout. So is it better defensively or offensively?

Comments

Probably best with a Scarf/Specs, maybe Specs 'cause 200 HP is sweet.

---

its ability leads me to believe it was intended to be used offensively

---

Intimidate is a more defensive ability but gyrados isn't defensive is it? Fair point though

---

Blissy manages to take physical attacks good too with high HP soooooooooooooooooooo idk

---

did you forget about moxie?

---

What format/rules are you asking about?

---

It's only in ou and ubers, but ou

---

It's also in BSS, DOU, Monotype, and National Pokedex.

Oh oops yea those, but still ou

Answer 1

It gets Dragon Dance to make its Attack and Speed better, boosting its offensive capabilities. It can also set up dual screens for support and better defensive capabilities. It can function as a mixed attacker or lean to either physical or special, making it fairly versatile. I think it's a little soon to say for sure, but I believe Regidrago is better as an attacker.

Hope I helped!
