Stats & Training
The stat budget goes to damage. Sp. Atk and Speed carry the offense, Defense doesn't even come close. A Water lizard Pokemon on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve, worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs per KO.
A clever combatant, this Pokémon battles using water balloons created with moisture secreted from its palms.
Highly intelligent but also very lazy, it keeps enemies out of its territory by laying traps everywhere.
Drizzile Weakness
Electric and Grass moves hit Drizzile for super-effective damage. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Drizzile leans toward special offense (base 95 Sp.Atk) instead of trying to wall anything.

Drizzile Guide
Drizzile is meant to evolve into Inteleon. At 420 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.
Torrent strengthens water moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less. That's the one you want on Drizzile. Sniper is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Drizzile is a special attacker with base 95 Sp. Atk. Best used as a pivot.
Game Availability
Drizzile joined the series in Sword & Shield and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
