Drampa best moveset in Pokemon Go

The best PvP moveset for Drampa in Pokemon Go is Dragon Breath as a Fast Move paired with Outrage and Fly as Charged Moves.

For those who want to focus on offense, Dragon Breath is the clear choice among Drampa’s Fast Moves. While it deals 6.0 damage compared to Extrasensory’s 12.0, it generates 8.0 EPS and gets the added bonus of STAB.

As for Charged Moves, the top choice among the three options is Outrage. It deals 110 damage and generates nearly 13 EPS, allowing it to put out the most DPS. The final move is up to you, but we’d recommend Fly for the extra coverage.

All moves Drampa can learn in Pokemon Go

Drampa has two Fast Moves and three Charged Moves available in Pokemon Go, which range from Dragon to Psychic and even Flying-type.

Drampa Fast Moves

  • Dragon Breath (Dragon/STAB)
  • Extrasensory (Psychic)

Is Drampa any good in Pokemon Go?

While Drampa’s moveset and stats may look appealing, the Normal/Dragon-type is unlikely to be a viable option in PvP play.

PvPoke ranked Drampa #487 in the Great League as of March 2024 and its rating for the Ultra League isn’t much better. Drampa ranked #381 in that format.

Drampa does rank the best in the Master League, as XL Drampa sat #238. But given that there are many Legendary and semi-Legendary Pokemon that sit at the top of the food chain there, Drampa just isn’t a threat.
