Druddigon is a Dragon Pokémon. It is vulnerable to Ice, Dragon and Fairy moves. Druddigon's strongest moveset is Dragon Tail & Dragon Claw and it has a Max CP of 2,732.
"It infiltrates tunnels that Pokémon like Diglett and Dugtrio have dug and quietly waits for prey to pass through."
Dragon Tail is superior to Bite in both damage output and energy generation, not to mention also benefiting from STAB.
Dragon Claw and Night Slash both cost very low amounts of energy, allowing them to be used frequently. The former hits harder against neutral opponents thanks to STAB, while the latter is useful against popular Steel-types who would resist Dragon-type damage, in addition to extra threat against Psychic and Ghost Pokemon.
Druddigon as a mono-Dragon Pokemon is quite vulnerable in the Great League with its high ATK stat and consequently low bulk. Unfortunately Azumarill, one of the most commonly used meta Pokemon in this league, completely walls Druddigon with no mercy, making it hard for this Pokemon to compete outside of specific formats. Its moveset is quite strong and spammable though, and has similar performances with other Dragon-types in this league such as Goodra or Dragonair.
Druddigon's moveset is notably spammable, and is more consistent than the likes of Goodra or Kingdra. Druddigon's inability to touch any Fairy-types is a huge nail in the coffin unfortunately, and to add further insult to injury Giratina essentially denies Druddigon any chance to play outside of restricted formats.
A max CP of 2732 at level 40 is somewhat poor for a Pokemon trying to compete in Master League. Even at level 50, Druddigon is basically blown away by its rival Dragonite, and is considerably disadvantaged against Garchomp from both stats and coverage perspectives. At the very least Dragonite can injure Togekiss with Hurricane. Druggidon.....let's not go there.
