How to get Drampa in Pokémon Go

How to get Drampa in Pokémon Go

Drampa made its first appearance in Pokémon Go on Monday 5th February 2024 as part of the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed event.

Here's how you can catch Drampa during the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed event:

• Event-exclusive field research tasks - Win 3 raids
• In three-star raids

How you obtain Drampa depends on whether you want to spend time searching out its field research task. You could get lucky and find the event-exclusive task quickly, but there's a good chance you'll find yourself spinning an awful lot of PokéStops. This is due to how the tasks offered by PokéStops change on a daily basis and you can still collect the seasonal field research tasks alongside the event-exclusive ones.

For this reason, we recommend joining a local Pokémon Go group if you want to catch Drampa via its event-exclusive research task. Someone might have already found the PokéStop you're looking for...

It's also important to note that there are two other possible rewards for this research task - encounters with either Druddigon or Turtonator - so, even if you do get and complete this challenge, you may need to complete it a second time to catch Drampa.

If you'd prefer to catch Drampa via raids, then it's important to remember that Drampa is a three-star raid boss. Due to this, unless you have a team of powerful Pokémon, you will most likely find Drampa difficult to defeat by yourself. You can always use a Remote Raid Pass and apps like Poke Genie to join raids across the world alongside other trainers.

Since Drampa doesn't evolve, you only need to catch one to complete its section in the Pokédex. We highly recommend catching Drampa during the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed event, because, at the time of writing, we don't know what this Pokémon's spawn rate will be once it ends. There's a chance that, like other recently released Pokémon, Drampa may be hard to find once this event ends, so it's worth catching while you have the time.

The Wild Area 2024: Global event is this weekend! Throughout it you can catch Pokémon during the habitat hours, use Safari Balls, catch Mighty Pokémon, battle Gigantamax Toxtricity, obtain both Toxtricity Forms and catch a Studded Jacket Snorlax. If you've purchased an event ticket, you can also complete the An Accomplished Trainer quest. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

• Extrasensory (Psychic)

Possible Charged Moves:

• Dragon Pulse (Dragon)
