Drapion (Japanese: ドラピオン Dorapion) is a Poison/Dark-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Drapion resembles a scorpion, as does its pre-evolution, Skorupi. Unlike a scorpion, however, Drapion has a claw on the end of its tail. Drapion's body is purple, with alternating shades of lavender and violet. It is able to turn its head 180 degrees.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Behavior

Habitat

It is probably native to dry desert areas, much like Skorupi. However, it is found in Pastoria City's Great Marsh.

Trivia

  • Before Skorupi or Gliscor were revealed, many fans speculated that Drapion evolved from Gligar, due to their similar appearance.

Origin

Drapion appears to be a stylized scorpion.

Name origin

Drapion's name may be derived from dracula (because of its fangs) or dragon and scorpion.
