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.
- Drampa and Cyclizar are the only Normal/Dragon-type Pokémon.
- At the moment, Drampa is the only Generation VII Pokémon to receive a Mega Evolution.
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.
Its Japanese name Jijilong is a combination of jiji (old man) and long (Chinese for dragon).
Names in other languages[]
- French : Draïeul (combination of dragon and aïeul (elder))
- English and Spanish: Drampa
