Is Drampa good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

Drampa has a high Attack stat, but its low defense (164) and stamina (186) stats make it fairly squishy. As a result, it cannot tank hits in the GO Battle League, especially in the Great League. You must, therefore, pair it with a bulky Pocket Monster like Azumarill, Lickitung, Mandibuzz, Jellicent, and so on.

Drampa is a mid-tier Dragon-type attacker in Pokemon GO. It has a respectable damage output of 15.32 DPS with Dragon Breath and Outrage. While it is outclassed by other critters of its type, it can be an excellent Gym Defender in the title.
