[OVERVIEW]
Insomnia is Drowzee's most attractive feature, when you add that into its average defensive stats, gives it a nice role as a Foongus and Abra counter. Having semi-reliable recovery in Wish lets Drowzee stick around longer to perform its duties multiple times and check some other threats as well. However, Drowzee doesn't hit particularly hard which invites offensive threats such as Snivy to set up on it, and its Psychic typing is relatively easy to counter.
[SET]
name: Defensive
move 1: Psychic
move 2: Counter
move 3: Wish
move 4: Protect
item: Eviolite
ability: Insomnia
nature: Bold
evs: 196 HP / 236 Def / 12 SpA / 36 SpD / 20 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
This set's main purpose is to hard counter Foongus, And Abra thanks to Insomnia and STAB Psychic. Counter threatens likely answers such as Pawniard, physical Vullaby, and Mienfoo, although it shouldn't be leaned on too heavily for that role. Once Counter is revealed, the set is easy to play around. While the payoff for using Drowzee in this function might seem attractive, the risk is great as its low Speed and underwhelming firepower invites offensive foes, such as Snivy or Nasty Plot Vullaby, to set up.
