I'm about to soft reset for this big guy, which nature should I get? Was thinking Quiet.
I would go for Brave. If you need a Trick Roomer with a strong Draco Meteor Exeggutor and Drampa do it better. Dragon Rush also has a chance to finch.

i think special might be better (Fire Blast+Sludge Bomb coverage) but at that point it's just a worse Hydreigon

Not sure, but are you using a pokemon with Synchronize in the lead spot?

Hydreigon doesn't learn any Poison moves but I see what you mean. I feel that it should be used as a mixed attacker than pure special or physical though. Exeggutor and Drampa seriously hit like nukes and have worser speed. Mixed offensive would prevent it from being severely outclassed.

So should I use it as a specially oriented mixed attacker, using Draco Meteor as a nuke and physical coverage like Heavy Slam and Hammer Arm?
Keep in mind I'm not really considering using him seriously, I'm just getting a good natured one just in case.

You can make it physically based mixed so Draco's special attack drops wouldn't spoil the Beast Boosts. Remember that it lacks special attack boosting options to negate the boosts. Whereas using Draco to KO things would let you spam Crunch to wallbreak(due to defense dropping chance).

Heres a set I came up with:
Guzzlord @ Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
- Crunch
- Draco Meteor
- Hammer Arm/Heavy Slam
- Fire Blast
I recommend running a dedicated Fairy counter paired with Guzzlord. I feel Heavy Slam limits coverage unless you want it to handle fairies 1v1.

Why would anyone ever do that? Guzzlord is unredeemable trash and is a perfect example of why massive HP + bad defenses make a shitty PU mon.
