Moves

Don't skip the egg moves. Drizzile picks up Aqua Jet and Aqua Ring only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Muddy Water and Surf while Normal and Dark coverage and more adds range.

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.

  • In Sword & Shield, watch for Manectric (Electric) and Breloom (Grass) when using Drizzile. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • In Sword & Shield, Sobble evolves into Drizzile at level 16. Drizzile evolves into Inteleon at level 35. Drizzile is a middle-stage evolution in the Sobble line.

  • 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.

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.
