Strategy Overview

Drapion carves itself a niche as a decent trapper and wallbreaker in RU. Its adequate Speed allows it to outspeed common Pokemon like Roserade and Choice Specs Gardevoir and dispose of them. Furthermore, it is one of the few Pursuit trappers in the tier; it can trap dangerous Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Mismagius, Cresselia, Metagross, and Bronzong thanks to the threat of a powerful Knock Off. However, despite having decent Speed, Drapion still fails to outpace offensive Pokemon that can threaten it such as Flygon and Shaymin. Due to its low Special Defense, Drapion also is highly susceptible to strong special attackers that outpace it like Salazzle and Swellow. It also struggles a great deal to break through many defensive Pokemon such as Mandibuzz, Pyukumuku, and Milotic due to its somewhat lackluster Attack stat in comparison to other wallbreakers.
