Haxorus's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Haxorus PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Many Pokémon fans assume Haxorus to be a Pseudo Legendary. Even though it’s not, this pure Dragon type has an insane ATK stat of 284, higher than many Legendaries and Pseudo Legendaries! 😎 In fact, Haxorus’ ATK is the same as the one-and-only Rayquaza! 😲

Thankfully, Haxorus also boasts a brilliant moveset of Dragon Tail and Breaking Swipe, a combo better than the traditional Dragon Tail and Outrage set. To sum it up, Haxorus is one quality Dragon-type Pokémon. 🐲

⚔️ Raids

Haxorus has the highest DPS of all non-Mega, non-Shadow, and non-Legendary Dragon Pokémon. Even when compared to the powerhouses in those categories, its access to the smooth but powerful Breaking Swipe sets it apart from most of its draconic peers.
You’re gonna love Haxorus! 🐲💯

🛡️ Gyms

Haxorus isn’t very tanky, which makes it a somewhat underwhelming Gym defender. 🫤

Haxorus PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Haxorus is completely oriented toward offense, which limits its already low bulk, making it disappointing in the Great League. 👎

🟡 Ultra League

Use Fraxure instead. 🙂

🟣 Master League

Haxorus is one of the most underrated Pokémon in the Master League. Even though Counter Hax isn’t as viable after the move’s nerf, Dragon Tail backed by 284 ATK is no joke! 👊

Breaking Swipe’s 50% chance to debuff the opponent’s ATK is incredibly handy, while the 12.5% chance ATK boost from Night Slash helps Haxorus sweep entire teams, as long as it’s not up against Fairy types.
Overall, a fantastic Pokémon that can become deadly in the right situation. 😈
