yo what's up guys got Pokeaim here with
a Pokemon moveset video guide on how to
use Drednaw now if this is your first
video watching me hello, hi, I'm Joey
I play competitive Pokemon over here on
YouTube, and I really really love it I
plan on uploading multiple how to use
video guides, competitive battling guides,
as well as showdown lives, Pokemon Showdown lives and Wi-Fi battles from the game
itself of me featuring these Pokemon
that I'm talking about in these guides
so it's not just gonna be me giving you
this and nothing after right you just
expect you to go out with it
later in the day I'll be doing some type
of video with the Pokemon as well as
long as I'm able to might take a little
bit of time to do the Wi-Fi battles give
me a couple days at most but just
because I'm put them on together
obviously but yeah stay tuned also feel
free to follow me on Twitch and Twitter
those links are down below to stay up to
date maybe you know when I ask for
battles and whatnot that'd be pretty
cool too let's talk a little bit about
Drednaw, Drednaw is a water and Rock
type which means that it is weak to
four types. Electric, grass, fighting, and
ground and actually real quick I should
have mentioned this in the beginning but
Drednaw, Gigantamax Drednaw which
is the one you guys are looking at on
the screen right now is available in
pokemon sword from November 15th to
January 15th 2020 via max raid so if you
want to try and find a gigantamax Drednaw
it will 
be more common in max raids until that
date, so if you want to pick one up. but we're gonna be using a Swift 
Swim Drednaw and if you guys didn't know what's
what swift swim does basically it doubles your speed on rain so this first set kind of
focuses heavily on rain teams that might
use support from something like pelipper
for instance which summons the rain
which will double Drednaw's speed
we're gonna be using an adamant Swift
Swim life orb set, life orb boosting
the power or the damage output that
Drednaw actually has. now we'll be using
an adamant set because at +2 which this
set kind of revolves around as we have
swords dance and swords dance of course
boosts your attack +2, at +2 with a
life orb adamant earthquake you can
knock out physically defensive toxapex
and that is going to be a very
key Pokemon in Pokemon sword and shield
right so max defense max HP impish
nature or bold nature toxapex you
can knock it out with +2 life orb
earthquake a hundred percent and that is
so cool
for Drednaw considering it is a
water rock type and toxapex is going to be resisting you know
one of its stabs most of time in
liquidation but yeah that's why we'll be
running adamant. another cool calc about
the adamant set is that at +2 it can
knock out Rotom wash physically
defensive Rotom wash it does 96 percent
minimum with +2 life orb stone edge
also in the rain you are faster than
base 100 with a choice scarf so that's
pretty cool about Drednaw otherwise
you can run jolly but I actually like to
run adamant just because of those calcs
again Stone Edge and liquidation are your
two stab moves to abuse under Swords
Dance and another cool thing about
Drednaw especially Gigantamaxed
Drednaw is the fact that it has G max
Stone Surge which is its G max move and
it's exclusive to gigantic max
Drednaw and basically when you are
GigantaMax and use a water move, you
not only get a really strong attack but
you also set up stealth rock
so it's an offensive Pokemon that can
set up stealth rock at the same time while its attacking
though keep in mind that you cannot use
swords dance while you are gigantamaxed
so if you wanna Swords Dance you want to
do that before you actually gigantamax
with your Drednaw
because they all become max as far as status
moves so that's pretty cool about
Drednaw.
as you can see on the screen I have its
base stats from 91 115 90 48 68 and 74 and
then I've showed you guys, the
HP/attack investment and the spread is
the EVs so we're gonna be running max
attack max speed and the rest is just
put in defence and right next to that
is the speed you'd get at level 100 if
you have perfect IVs as well as the
EV spread that I talked about there
and like I said if you have no idea what
I'm talking about check out my ultimate
guide to competitive Pokemon it's linked
down below in the description but I'll
also be having an updated guide for
Pokemon sword and shield as well now I
do have another set that I want to talk
about with Drednaw and I don't think
this set is going to be as prominent as
the Swift Swim variant especially because
it just you know that below
average 74 speed it gets rid of and
makes it a sweeper under rain but we do
have a choice band set with adamant
strong Jaw, we're gonna be using that
strong jaw ability in this and same EV
spread for the most part you want to use
adamant I think on this pokemon the only
reason you use Jolly is to outspeed
opposing Drednaw under rain
but for the most part adamant is still
faster than Pokemon like Tyranitar for
instance so you can hit them with a
really strong choice band boosted
liquidation. jaw lock is a new move in
this generation and it's boosted by
strong jaw and basically what it is is, it's crunch but it
traps your opponent as well so that's
pretty cool because a lot of times you
might see a response to Drednaw
maybe something like Ferrothorn for
instance and you go for jaw lock do about
30-35% and your opponent knows
that you have a fire-type in the back or
something like that right so they want
to maybe switch out to cover that
instead of letting it in for free since
they have a ferrothorn in I'm just
giving you guys an example but because
you used jaw lock
you trap them so they can't make
that double and you can switch out into
that fire type for free without fearing
them too pull back into a different Pokemon so that's pretty cool I
think for Drednaw. it's also
strong jaw boosted like I said so it's a
decent move to be locked into because
it's gonna be strong since strong jaw
boost your biting attacks by 1.5 times
the power. liquidation, stone edge, and
earthquake is there. I think earthquake
is a pretty decent move considering
again 2-hit KOing Toxapex is a big
one however we do have some other
options right here now this isn't a full
move set keep in mind when I put ice
fang, super power, head smash, and crunch
I'm not saying run this okay I am
definitely not saying run this I'm just
saying these are the other options for
Drednaw but Ice Fang is as an option and
Ice Fang is pretty cool because it's
also boosted by the strong jaw ability
and that allows Drednaw to
actually pick up a KO on a pokemon like
Celebi for instance from full HP, you
know assuming Celebii was in the game
but just to show you how strong it is
also really nice for hitting Pokemon
like Flapple and just for some super
strong damage hitting dragon types which
otherwise resist your liquidation
another move you can have is super power
and super power is nice for hitting
Pokemon like the Ferrothorn for instance
for super effective damage as well as
Duraladon so it gives you a nice
move versus that as well as other
normal types and head smash is a cool
option too because it's incredibly
strong right and coming off a base 115
attack it hits incredibly hard just for
reference 2-hit KOs physically
defensive Toxapex. it does like 88%
percent minimum I believe around there
to physically defensive Rotom and you
are faster than that that's a pretty key
thing about this unless Rotom is running
speed Drednaw will be faster than that
so that's a really nice little option
keep in mind though you will be
taking recoil from that and the last
option is crunch but for the most part I
don't think I've ever used crunch over
jaw lock just because of the same base
power but the only added benefit that
crunch has that jaw lock doesn't have
is that it can get a defense drop where
as jaw lock like I said, traps you. Now
there are some other options that Drednaw
does learn and
um I think that it gets stealth rock
right and it has shell armor and that
means that you cannot be crit and
crits are pretty important in Pokemon
because obviously they do more damage
and they can cost you your Pokemon so
maybe a defensive stealth rocker could
work but honestly considering there are
an abundance of rock types and stealth
rockers in this generation that are all
good and I'll just tell you some stealth
rockers outclasses Pokemon, Rhyperior, 
for instance is one of them if
we're looking or Gigalith is a cool
stealth rocker as well that also sets up
sand so we can work on you know
sand teams that function around excadrill
same thing with Tyranitar if we're
using other rock types I mean if we're
talking hazards anyway why use the water
rock type, which has 4 resistances so
it isnt bad, but you can use something like
Ferrothorn with plethora of resistances
right but what I do really like about
this mon, like I said it can be
offensive while also setting up hazards
at the same time so while it does have
cool little options like stealth rock
and defensive options I wouldn't
necessarily use them I think that
offensive is the best way to go with
Drednaw
now I mentioned Drednaw, and now I should be
talking about a few partners that you
can use if you're trying to build a team
around this now, Drednaw having
the swift swim ability if you manage to
get its hidden ability which is what
Swift Swim is because his main abilities
are strong jaw and shell armor you would
want to have a rain setter and
you don't necessarily need a rain
setter considering some Dynamax
moves can actually set up the rain, excuse me, the water type
Dynamax moves can set up the rain
however if you use a water type Dynamax
move to set up the rain then you can't
Gigantamax with your Drednaw you can
only do that stuff once per turn so or
once per game not once per turn, it lasts
3 turns. So what you actually want to do
is probably use a pokémon like pelipper
for instance with a damp Rock and that'll
extend the rain turns and not only do
that but it'll provide you with a way of
setting up rain for Drednaw itself to
actually do some damage because it does
excel in the rain, not only boosting its
speed but also boosting the power of
liquidation
and the power of its GMAX move as well
because that is water type move as well
another cool option defensively for Drednaw, this is actually a very common core, on
rain teams, is the combination of
pelipper plus Ferrothorn. Ferrothorn
is pretty much invaluable to rain teams,
not only does it provide hazard support
and stealth rock and spike and is an
annoyance with leech and knock off but
it provides a ton of resistances
it's basically resistant to most of the
types that Drednaw is a week to or at
least the two main ones being grass and
electric obviously fighting types you
don't really like that too much but
that's what pelipper comes to play and
it does check those fighting types, its naturally
resistant to it, so that is like a
little core that can go together with
these guys and the rest of the rain team
is seriously up to you there are plenty
of other Swift Swimmers like Barraskewda
could work as well if you want to make
it a more offensive it doesn't have to
be full-on rain either you can just
function with pelipper  Drednaw and
Ferrothorn and then go either a more
defensive route with pivots or even a
more offensive route like I already
mentioned Barraskewda or other Swift Swim abusers, that can work. but yeah that is my
moveset guide on Drednaw. let me
know if this helped you out of course
feel free to leave a like, subscribe and
like I said later today I'll be doing my
best to either get up a showdown live
or a Wi-Fi battle or a max raid or
something just featuring Drednaw on
the channel and if I don't manage to get
up a Wi-Fi battle just because of the
fact that it's day one of the game just
wait a few days and I'll definitely get
up a Wi-Fi battle with me featuring  Drednaw
but thank you everyone for watching
hope you guys all enjoyed, I'll see you
guys next time
goodbye my frens
