Pokemon Go Drapion all moves
This Poison/Dark-type Pokemon can learn a total of four Fast Moves and six Charged Moves inthe game. Here are all of them listed:
The best moveset for Drapionin PvP is Bite as a Fast Move and Sludge Bomb as a Charged Move,with 12.47 damage per second and 351.1 damage before the Pokemon faints. Even though Poison types are doomed for mediocrity in the game’s meta, Drapion can really put up a fight, more so as an XL or Shadow.
However, it’s worth noting that the overall Drapion move pool is very useful for PvP, as Ice Fang and Aqua Tail can target Ground-type creatures (Drapion’s only weakness), Bite and Crunch are a great damage combo that can benefit from STAB, as well as Crunch and Sludge Bomb in case you’re looking for STAB with more coverage.
Drapion’s best movesetfor Raids consists of Poison Sting as a Fast Move and Sludge Bomb as a Charged Move.It isn’t great at it, but Drapion’s HP and good Defense stat help it hold its ground long enough.
If you’re looking for a more defensive approach, you can switch Poison Sting for Infestation. More so, you can also exchange Sludge Bomb for Fell Stinger and make Drapion a bug attacker.
