Strategy Overview

Drampa's rainbow of a movepool, unique typing, and useful abilities make it a phenomenal anti-meta Pokemon. Boasting a nuclear Draco Meteor and strong coverage moves, Drampa can prove quite difficult to switch into for walls like Copperajah and Dhelmise. Drampa can also use its utility moves in Calm Mind and Roost to set up on special attackers, even beating traditional checks like Sylveon, Diancie, and Stakataka. However, Drampa's poor Speed often leaves it on the back foot against many metagame staples, especially given a type disadvantage, such as Sylveon, Toxicroak, and Tyrantrum. It also falls victim to smart pivoting; opponents can bring in a faster check on a resisted attack, such as Talonflame on Flamethrower or Diancie on Hyper Voice. This can make mispredicting or setting up at the wrong time quite costly.
