Drapion is an excellent pokemon in UU for both Stall and Offensive teams. On Stall, it can set up Toxic Spikes and boasts 70/110/75 defences, and couple with 1 type weakness, ground, and a resistance to Grass, Dark, Poison, and Ghost type attacks, along with an immunity to Poison and Psychic, Drapion can easily counter popular pokemon in the UU metagame, such as Mismagius, Alakazam, and Venusaur, along with absorbing Toxic Spikes and setting them up himself. Along with Battle Armor for an ability, and the ability to Phaze, Drapion would make an excellent defensive pokemon. But on the offensive side, Drapion can abuse Critical Hits with Sniper, a Scope Lens, and STAB moves with high-critical hit ratios; couple this with Swords Dance and decent defenses and resistances, Drapion will be hard to revenge kill. Base 95 speed is good for UU, along with base 90 attack, Drapion can easily abuse the fact that there are many pokemon in UU who are immune to ground-type attacks, such as Mismagius, Swellow, Moltres, etc. With excellent move options and versatile stats, Drapion can fill a role on any team effectively.
