Hey everyone! I have a quick question about how to pronounce Hydreigon. I’ve heard it said in a few different ways – I personally say it as ‘hy-drei-gon,’ but I’ve also come across ‘hy-dragon’ and ‘hy-drogon.’ I feel like my way sounds correct, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. How do you pronounce it?

I’ve heard it as ‘high-dry-gun’ too, and I think that’s the most common way. The ‘drei’ pronunciation is influenced by the German word for three, and I think it’s cool how it’s integrated into the Pokémon names.
Honestly, I say ‘hi-dray-gon.’ It just kind of rolls off the tongue. Plus, it makes sense since it ties back to the hydra concept – it has three heads, after all!
Haha, I like that! I learned to count in German and it definitely helps with these names.
You’re actually on the right track! The correct pronunciation is ‘high-dry-gon.’ This is influenced by the name’s German roots. The evolutions play on German counting with ‘drei’ meaning three. So, your pronunciation is totally valid!
Exactly! The whole evolution line really reflects that German counting theme, which is pretty cool.
Yeah, that’s what makes it so fun! Pokémon names often have such clever backstories.
