Drampa Best Moveset
Mega Drampa reaches 160 Sp. Atk with 110/116 balanced Mega defenses. Normal and Dragon TermStab fires devastating special damage at 36 Speed, the slowest cooldowns among all new Megas. The moveset hits as hard per move as nearly anything but fires at a glacial pace.
Berserk boosted Sp. Atk below 50% HP in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). 135 Sp. Atk after Berserk was devastating. 36 Speed moved last in every matchup.

Borderline in Gen VIII (Sword & Shield). Cloud Nine removed weather. 135 Sp. Atk hit hard. Two gens between tiers. Too strong for the bottom, too slow for the middle.

Base Stats
Drampa's all-in on Sp. Atk at the expense of Speed. The special lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 2 Sp. Atk EVs and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The mountains it calls home are nearly two miles in height. On rare occasions, it descends to play with the children living in the towns below.
Drampa Guide
Don't let Drampa's 485 base stat total fool you. Sap Sipper is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a wallbreaker.
Run Sap Sipper on Drampa. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Drampa also gets Berserk and Cloud Nine, but they don't compare.
Drampa fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 135 Sp. Atk. Base 36 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
The core moveset is Dragon Pulse, Hypervoice, Sleep Talk, and Rest. Dragon Pulse leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Introduced in Sun & Moon, Drampa has appeared in 4 games across 4 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
