Is Drapion a decent OU sweeper?

May. 4, 2013



I really like Drapion with cross poison, night slash, sniper, and razor claw to use for a sweeper in RU, but is he good or is he worth it in OU? I am considering using him for a team.

No. Lacks the Speed and Power to pull off Sweep, shallow, predictable movepool, and is outclassed by many brother Dark Type. Physical Dark Type I’d suggest isWeavile.

In theory, Drapion could sweep in OU, but it is greatly outclassed in the tier by Hydreigon. In RU, Drapion can hold his own as a bulky sweeper, but probably shouldn’t be used in OU. Why make him look bad, when he has so much RU potential?
