Drampa (Japanese: ジジーロン, Hepburn: Jijiiron) (DRAM-puh[1]) is a normal/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is exclusive to Pokémon Moon.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Drampa is a serpentine dragon Pokémon with mostly bluish green skin. Its underside and three spots on the side are pale green. Its pupilless eyes are pink with yellow thick eyebrows. It has a short mustache and a white beard on its chin. It also has white hair covering its short tail, arms, and underbelly.
Behavior[]
Drampa likes to communicate with humans and other kinds of Pokémon. They treat children gently, and frequently gather at playgrounds and schools.
Although they are mostly kind Pokémon, when they know children they befriended are facing danger, they will become extremely angry. At that time, their Dragon Breath can even reach the power that can blow away a building.

Trivia[]
- Drampa can be seen as a counterpart to Turtonator. Both are dual-Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. Both also have the same BST with the same stats with the exception of Speed. Turtonator is exclusive to Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Drampa is exclusive to Pokémon Moon and Pokémon Ultra Moon.
Origin[]
Drampa is apparently based on an Eastern dragon from various Asian cultures, particularly Zhulong from Chinese mythology (a dragon with a man's face which can create daytime by opening its eyes and nighttime by closing them, as well as causing seasonal winds with its breathing). Due to its white beard and hair, and name, it also is based on elders.
Their Normal typing mixed with their Dragon typing hearkens to the archetypes of old masters of martial arts, where they are often depicted as still able masters of fighting, but their old age is often a handicap, which often leads to their defeat.
Etymology[]
Drampa might be a combination of dragon and grandpa.
Names in other languages[]
- English: Drampa
- Japanese: Jijilong (combination of jiji (old man) and long (Chinese for dragon)).
- French : Draïeul (combination of dragon and aïeul (elder))
