Drampa looks very promising as TR sweeper in VGC. I'm probably going to use it alongside Pelliper, with a moveset of Draco Meteor, Hurricane, Hyper Voice, and Flamethrower.

Has anyone considered a bulky set with Sitrus Berry or would you rather have Roost do that job? It would let you keep some momentum after Berserk activates instead of needing to take a turn to rest and I don't think it has the bulk to use Leftovers as well as it would Sitrus Berry.
Chople Berry lure?

How much of a boost is Berserk? Anyone know?
One of the few non-mixed attackers from this gen's roster, and of course Troll Freak had to give it at least one ability that boosted the wrong attacking stat (Sap Sipper). Although I guess Berserk is nice (and it already resists grass anyway), but with its abysmal speed and weaknesses to Ice, Fighting and Fairy it'd get KO'd before it can do much with the SpA boost.
Goodra is a Special Attacker, it still uses Sap Sipper.
Pretty sure that's because Gooey is even worse. And Goodra's attacking stats are 100/110, it often goes mixed with DTail or Earthquake. Drampa's attack difference is much more drastic.
Being immune to grass attacks like spore is nice even without a use for the attack boost.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. And also Leech Seed immunity.
This thing will love Tapu Fini as a partner. Resists 3 weaknesses and sets a terrain to reduce dragon damage, which Drampa can comfortably bypass because it has a nice and spammable Normal STAB.
If only goodra was this good.
