Main Pokémon games[]

Pokémon spin-offs[]

In PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, Hydreigon and Haxorus kidnap Victini at the Crag Area and take him to Wish Park, but are defeated by the player.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, Hydreigon was at first described by Munna as an evil Pokémon who is pure destruction in Pokémon form, devours everything in his path, and said to be the cause of the world's balance being disrupted. In truth, Munna's words about him were all a lie to trick the player, and Hydreigon is really the physical embodiment of the Voice of Life, the form of the world's will to live, who called upon humans to save the Pokémon world as no Pokémon could hope to save it. He originally first contacted the player through a dream before Munna intercepted the vision, and by using Hydreigon's voice, she tricked the player into thinking Hydreigon was evil.

Super Smash Bros.[]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Hydreigon appears in the background of the Kalos Pokémon League stage when the stage is in the Dragonmark Chamber. It appears alongside Axew, fellow Pseudo-legendary Pokémon Dragonite, and Garchomp. Hydreigon appeared as a Spirit in Ultimate.
