While most trainers evolve Drizzile into Inteleon immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Only weak to Electric and Grass. Sits at a decent but contested Speed tier. Known as the Water lizard Pokemon.
The stat budget goes to damage. Sp. Atk and Speed carry the offense, Defense doesn't even come close. A Water lizard Pokemon on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve, worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs per KO.
A clever combatant, this Pokémon battles using water balloons created with moisture secreted from its palms.
Highly intelligent but also very lazy, it keeps enemies out of its territory by laying traps everywhere.
Drizzile Weakness
GoodElectric and Grass-type moves hit Drizzile for super-effective damage. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Drizzile leans toward special offense (base 95 Sp.Atk) instead of trying to wall anything.
Partway through Sobble's chain. Drizzile still has another evolution ahead before reaching Inteleon. For breeding, average hatch time with a massive partner pool via two egg groups. So far, Sp.Atk got the biggest boost (+25 from Sobble). The final form adds another 110 stats on top.
How to Evolve
Breed with Drizzile to get Sobble eggs easily using 138 partners from the Ground and Water1 egg groups. Notable egg moves include Aqua Jet, Aqua Ring, Double Team and 4 more.

Don't skip the egg moves. Drizzile picks up Aqua Jet and Aqua Ring only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Muddy Water and Surf while Normal and Dark coverage and more adds range.
