Naganadel @ Dragonium-Z / Life OrbAbility: Beast BoostEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse- Fire Blast / Flamethrower- Sludge Wave- Nasty Plot

Draco Meteor with Dragonium Z is incredibly strong and hits really hard after a Nasty Plot. Dragon Pulse can be used if you don’t want to have to deal with stat drops. Fire Blast / Flamethrower hit Steel-types and Sludge Wave is more STAB. Naganadel is hard to stop after a Beast Boost.

Naganadel @ Life OrbAbility: Beast BoostEVs: 4 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 252 SpeNature: Timid- Sludge Bomb- Dragon Pulse- Fire Blast/HP Ice- Nasty Plot

Standard sweeping set: Set up with Nasty Plot, sweep & snowball with Beast Boost. Sludge Bomb & Dragon Pulse are STAB. That leaves the choice between Fire Blast & HP Ice: Fire Blast covers your Ice weakness and hits Steel-types that resist and are immune to your 2 main STABS, but HP Ice can hit Ground-types hard too.

With the Kings Rock, Air Slash has a higher chance to cause flinching.Nasty Plot ups the your SpA by two stages, making it an OP sweeper.Every time you KO a Pokemon, Naganadel will up its speed, making it a fast sweeper.

Naganadel @ Focus SashAbility: Beast BoostEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HPTimid Nature- Draco Meteor- Fire Blast- Sludge Bomb- Tailwind

this set is used with Nihilego. tailwind makes them both faster so they can sweep. fire blast is coverage for both. sludge bomb is STAB Draco meteor is powerful dragon STAB. focus sash so he can survive a hit while at least getting tailwind and Draco meteor.nihilego set:

Nihilego @ Power HerbAbility: Beast BoostEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 DefModest nature- Meteor Beam- Power Gem- Sludge Bomb- Protect

very easy to understand. meteor beam with power herb OHKO’s a lot of things. After you get a K.O, you get +Spa because of the beast boost ability. meteor beam also raises your Spa so you get +2 Spa instead of one. power gem is STAB. Sludge bomb is also STAB and protect for stall. while with +2 Spa, it’s effortless to sweep and you just get more Spa by doing this. watch out for physical ground and steel types as his melee defence sucks.

sorry if you got bored reading this. and as usual, PLEASE post any suggestions In the comments.

hope I helped.

Naganadel @ Life Orb/Wise Glasses/Choice SpecsAbility: Beast BoostNature: ModestMoves:- Sludge Bomb (So you wouldn’t hit your allies in a double or multi battle plus STAB)- Dragon Pulse/Draco Meteor (Draco Meteor can reduce special attack by two stages)- Flamethrower/Fire Blast (Coverage against ice types)- Air Slash/Dark Pulse (Air Slash has a chance to make an opponent flinch except for Pokemon with the Inner Focus ability while Dark Pulse is coverage against Psychic Types)With the best boost ability, the special attack will boost with the help of some items I suggested.

What about PIMPNITE’s Naganadel moveset:

Naganadel @ Dragonium ZAbility: Beast BoostEvs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)

Expanation: You know PIMPNITE, always looking for crazy movesets! Now we can have fun too. Make your foe faint with Fell Stinger to get a +3 in Attack. Gunk Shot and Dragon Claw are your Relialble STABs for Naganadel. Throat Chop is just for some extra Ghost and Psychic coverage.

Naganadel@Dragonium ZTrait:Beast BoostEVs:252 Sp.Atk/252 Def/4 SpdNature: Timid (+Spd -Atk)/Modest (+Sp.Atk -Atk)Moves:Sludge Wave-STAB/ Sludge Bomb-STAB(Sludge Bomb for VGC Doubles)Thunderbolt/Flamethrower-CoverageNasty PlotDragon Pulse/Draco Meteor-STAB

The Devastating Drake will do big damage to whatever comes in except for fairies, but you got Sludge Wave for fairies so screw you Clefable, Thunderbolt or Flamethrower it’s your decision for coverage but personally I would go Flamethrower because it covers ice types, The Nasty Plot is essential to sweep.

Naganadel@ Choice ScarfAbility:Beast BoostEVs: 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Speed / 4 Sp. DefNature:Modest(+Sp. Atk / -Atk)

Sludge Wave, Draco Meteor and Fire Blast have perfect coverage together, so… reck stuff. U-turn to get the heck out of there.

Choice Specs

Naganadel @ Choice SpecsEVs: 252 Sp. Atk/4 Sp. Def/252 SpeNature: Modest

-Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse-Sludge Wave (Singles)-Fire Blast-Dark Pulse

Draco Meteor is your main move, but Dragon Pulse can be used if you don’t want to deal with stat drops. Sludge Wave is STAB for singles, but Sludge Bomb should be used for STAB in doubles. Fire Blast is for coverage against Steel types, who would otherwise wall Naganadel. Dark Pulse is for coverage against Psychic types.

Have fun with this set!

Naganadel @ Choice ScarfAbility: Beast BoostLevel: 50EVs: 44 HP / 164 Def / 116 SpA / 4 SpD / 180 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Draco Meteor- Sludge Bomb- Flamethrower- Hidden Power [Ice]

Other options for moves are U-turn, HP Ground, Snarl, Sky Drop and Dragon Pulse.

This set outspeeds modest max speed Ludicolo in rain, OHKOing it with Sludge Bomb, can outspeed and OHKO boosted Kommo-o over 50% of the time with Draco Meteor, and does solid damage to would be checks like steel types and Landorus-T with flamethrower and hidden power ice respectively. The only viable Pokemon to wall it is Heatran, and you can run HP Ground if that’s an issue.

Some replays that show off the advantages of using scarf Naganadel over the typical tailwind set:

Outspeeding and OHKOing Tapu KokoSurviving powerful physical attacks thanks to bulk investment

Ultra beasts are intresting. Here is a set for the combination of mega beedrill, zekrom, and poipole.Naganedal @ Focus SashAbility:Beast BoostNature:TimidEVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP•Nasty Plot•Sludge Bomb•Dragon Pulse•FlamethrowerStart with a nasty plot to raise special attack through the roof. Timid makes speed>special attack, so beast boost boosts speed. Sludge bomb is STAB, and so is dragon pulse. Flamethrower covers ice.

Gen 8 BSS dynamax(or regular) sweeperNaganadel @ Focus SashAbility: Beast BoostEVs: 252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 SpeTimid / Modest Nature- Dragon Pulse- Air Slash- Nasty Plot- FlamethrowerFocus Sash allows it to survive a hit after setting up a Nasty Plot. Beast Boost is insane once you knock out a Pokemon. The EVs are the bread and butter sweeping ones. Timid Nature gives you more speed. Dragon Pulse is STAB, and can lower attack in dynamax form. Air Slash can flinch and in dynamax form boosts speed, which allows you to sweep even easier. Flamethrower is coverage for the steel types it can’t hit and puts up sun in dynamax and can burn in regular form.

(speedy hard hitting set)

Dragon pulse for consistent dmg, Draco meteor for burst dmg both for stab, sludge bomb for doubles or sludge wave for singles both also stab, heat wave/flamethrower for steel’s and coverage, heat wave for doubles and hitting both enemies, flamethrower for accuracy, hex for coverage, air slash for coverage, and you turn for pivot, wise glasses/life orb for good dmg without being choiced, ev spread is for max dmg, max spe to our speed faster opponents either it’s already great base 123 spe, and hp for a tiny bit more bulk

ApexDrake (Naganadel) @ Dragonium Z / Petaya Berry / Life Orb / Dragon FangAbility: Beast BoostEVs: 140 HP / 112 SpA / 252 SpeTimid nature- Dragon Pulse / Hidden Power [Dragon]- Sludge Wave- Nasty Plot- Flamethrower

my first post :)

EXPLAINED:This is a sweeper Naganadel for single battles. evs for HP may let it survive a hit and let it use nasty plot to start sweeping from the next turn. timid nature makes beast boost to increase speed and imagine a +2SpA and beast boost(speed) Naganadel set. it is near unstoppable after the beast boost.

Dragonium z hits anything hard except fairies and steel types if you like petaya berry, it raises special attack by 1 stage when naganadel comes down into a pinch. if you want high-damage output, Life Orb is the thing but it also damages the holder. my choice is the Dragon Fang as it increases the power of dragon moves for the entire battle unless it is knocked off(still no problem if you setup nasty plot). ENJOY SWEEPIN THROUGH!
