Drapion (Japanese: ドラピオン Dorapion) is a Poison/Dark type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Drapion resembles a scorpion, as does its pre-evolution, Skorupi. Unlike a scorpion, however, Drapion has a claw on the end of its tail. Drapion's body is purple, with alternating shades of lavender and violet. It is able to turn its head 180 degrees.

Gender differences

None.

Habitat

It is probably native to dry desert areas like it's prevolved form Skorupi. But it is found in the Great marsh as well.
