Best Locations to Catch Drampa in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Drampa Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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. Hypervoice with Wikiberry is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, yes. Mega Drampa hits 585 BST, a solid jump from the base 485. Hold the Mega Stone, trigger it in battle, and it lasts the whole fight. One Mega per team.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
