Drapion
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Drapion is a poison/dark-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 500 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 95) and a physical attacking profile. Its Battle Armor ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Drapion. Build around what Drapion actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
