How to get Drampa in Pokémon Go

Drampa is a captivating Pokémon from Generation 7 that has made its debut in Pokémon Go. This Normal and Dragon-type Pokémon draws inspiration from Chinese dragons, adding a unique flavor to the game.

Players can catch Drampa during special events, particularly during the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed event. This event features exclusive research tasks and raid opportunities that make it easier for trainers to encounter this whimsical creature.

How to Catch Drampa in Pokémon Go

Drampa first appeared in Pokémon Go during the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed event. Here are the main methods to catch Drampa:

Event-Exclusive Field Research Tasks

You can encounter Drampa by completing event-specific research tasks. One of the tasks involves winning three raids. However, these tasks change daily, which means you’ll need to spin multiple PokéStops to find the right one. Joining a local Pokémon Go community can be beneficial, as members may share information about which PokéStops are offering the tasks.

Three-Star Raids

If you prefer to catch Drampa through battles, keep in mind that it is a three-star raid boss. Joining a team of powerful Pokémon is advisable, as taking down Drampa alone can be challenging. Using a Remote Raid Pass can help you join raids worldwide, allowing you to team up with other trainers.

Drampa does not evolve, so you only need to catch one to complete its Pokédex entry. It’s recommended to catch Drampa during the event, as its spawn rate may decrease significantly afterward.

The Max Out Season is currently active, introducing new gameplay elements. Players can now capture Dynamax Pokémon by participating in Max Battles and collecting Max Particles from Power Spots. Make sure to explore new features such as Routes, Gift Exchange, and Party Play while hunting for rare Pokémon and competing in various events.
