I had a doubles OU team that was built on the move round, and drampa was one of the best Pokemon on the team. It has the perfect typing, stats, and ability to be the second Round.
I always thought of drampa as a stoner, not a geezer
judged the length of this video n was like aw is he mid 🙁 and it only took seconds before i heard that "however"
15:15 it’s just mega Audino that’s fairy type but I had to triple check to make sure because why wasn’t it fairy in the first place?
Can we take a moment to explain why Drampa is not allowed in the Paldea region? (Read Ultra Sun pokedex entry)
Without sound video was more interesting, bc i was trying to guess what he was talking about
"Garchomp The Return"
I wanna see how great Garchomp really is now
Speaking of slow, reptilian pokemon that got a terrible shake in its debut generation, it is long overdue for us to finally ask, how GREAT was Torkoal actually!
its everybodys uncle and grandpa! UNCLE DRANPA!
Ah yes, audino in gen 8, my favorite fairy type
I don't play competitively since gen 6, but the moment I saw these stats I thought: trick room.
I swear to Arceus that Drampa was a Gen 8 Pokémon
You should go over viability in random battles too, just for the hell of it.
🎶 This old man, he played two, he rained meteors on RU 🎶
What's this about togedemaru being viable in competitive?
15:16 damn i didn't know Audino was a fairy type lmao
Is this our first Gen 7 pokemon?
grey kyurem looks weird today
Bro I didn't even know strength sap came out in gen 7 even though I played through ultra sun. I thought it was a gen 8 move
I once got Drampa to No. 2 on the ranked ladder in Sword and Shield. It was so fun to use paired with Speed Swap Shadow Rider. Extremely strong stab Hyper Voice, could OHKO most Dragon Legends with Draco Meteor and even Zacian with Fire Blast. It had great speed control options in Max Strike/Max Airstream and Cloud Nine was incredibly useful in a weather dominated meta. I honestly hope it returns in DLC for Scarlet and Violet
I love Drampa!
Weird decision to include Falkore from Neverending Story in the Pokémon franchise, but okay.
Next time we see this Pokémon (hopefully in Scarlet and Violet DLC) I sincerely hope that Game Freak add Boomburst to the grumpy grandpa dragon's movepool
Do how good was celesteela actually
Do how good was kartana actually
I miss yada Yada Yada Yada 🤣
Time to finish the group, how good was Sylveon actually?
How good was Stermling/ Grey Gnarl actually? With the ability to reinvigorate its youthful spirit and burst on to the scene, no other mon was his peer. At his whim GG brought tranquility to the skies, or went berserk calling "bolts from the blue". In closing, only a sap would expect to face down his hurricanes unscathed.
Wtf that’s a long video for only 2 gens lol
Think he'll ever cover an Ultra Beast?
It looks soo bad.
Am I the only one who really likes Drampa? I used it on my Moon team and named it after my grandfather who was a WW2 vet.
Altho it's little weird that there's female Drampas, with the pokemon being so "old man" themed. So I designed my own female counterpart for it on my own fan-region. Named as originally as Dramma.
Relicanth/Clawitzer next!!
Noctowl is my vote. A wise old owl, and also currently the earliest dex mon you haven't done.
Old man drampa trynna get banned is just him trying to retire.
I think I have seen Drampa in some Trick Room Scarlet/Violet VGC teams. Looking forward to trying it myself 🙂
How good was gothitelle actually please it's time for talking about one of the most polemic abilities ever
Imagine Drampa existing in Gen 4 OU
DRAMPA MOMENT! I still remember pre-Drampa ban Gen 8 PU, the ladder was crumbling under Drampa’s power, which I was abusing. This is what caused Drampa to be my second favorite Pokémon.
How to Buff Drampa:
– Make Sap Sipper boost Attack and Special Attack
– Give it Boomburst
– Add 30 to it’s HP
– Remove 5 stat points from attack and speed and put them into special attack
1:32 idk why but Hitmonchan sped up like that just vibrating was so funny to me
