Stats & Training
Drampa's all-in on Sp. Atk at the expense of Speed. The special lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 2 Sp. Atk EVs and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The mountains it calls home are nearly two miles in height. On rare occasions, it descends to play with the children living in the towns below.
Drampa is a kind and friendly Pokémon—up until it’s angered. When that happens, it stirs up a gale and flattens everything around.
Drampa Weakness
Drampa is weak to Ice, Fighting, Dragon, and Fairy. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. It resists 4 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Sap Sipper grants an additional Grass immunity, reshaping the matchup chart.

Legends: Z-A Evolution
Drampa doesn't evolve, so breeding's where the action is. You'll find a decent partner pool across two egg groups, and eggs are average hatch time. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve

Moves
Fly and Hyper Voice bring the raw damage. But Drampa also picks up coverage across 11 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.

How to Get Drampa in Legends: Z-A
Drampa doesn't appear in Legends: Z-A. Transfer it from Moon, Ultra Moon, or Shield to add it to your collection. Check the source games below for encounter details.
Drampa Guide
In Legends: Z-A, Don't let Drampa's 485 base stat total fool you. Sap Sipper is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Thunder with Drampanite is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Legends: Z-A, but Drampa does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Drampa hits 585 BST.
In Legends: Z-A, Drampa's biggest threats include Lapras (Ice), Hitmonlee (Fighting), and Salamence (Dragon), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. At base 36 Speed, Drampa won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
In Legends: Z-A, Run Sap Sipper on Drampa. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Drampa also gets Berserk and Cloud Nine, but they don't compare.
In Legends: Z-A, Drampa fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 135 Sp. Atk. Base 36 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Drampa first appeared in Sun & Moon and spans 4 games across 4 generations. It later gained a Mega form in Generation 7, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
