Watch its Psychic/Ground/Steel/Ice/Ghost/Rock moves — counters like Gengar (Mega) and Sceptile (Mega) take super-effective damage from them.
Fog weather boosts Ghost moves ×1.2 — the best time to battle Claydol.

Rankings are estimated cycle DPS (attack stat × move damage ÷ cycle time, with STAB and type effectiveness). Not a full battle simulation.
