As you take on some new bosses in Raid Battles in Pokemon GO, you'll find yourself going up against the likes of Tapu Lele, and even Mega Venusaur. Outside of these incredibly difficult bosses, though, you can also take on Drampa, a Normal and Dragon-type Tier 3 Raid Boss.
As with any Raid Boss battle, you'll need to be aware of the Pokemon's weaknesses and resistances in order to know which Pokemon to bring along. In this guide, you'll find all the information you need to defeat Drampa in no time, and your chances of catching a Shiny Drampa afterward.

Drampa Weaknesses in Pokemon GO
When you begin the Raid Battle against Drampa, you'll want to make sure to take advantage of its weaknesses. These are the types that you can use against Drampa to get Super Effective hits:
- Dragon
- Fairy
- Fighting
- Ice
As long as you bring along Pokemon that fall under one of these four types, you should be able to take out Drampa easily in battle. Along with this, Drampa has a few types that it is completely resistant to, which you will want to avoid having in your team. This includes:
- Ghost
- Electric
- Fire
- Grass
- Water
Drampa is a Normal and Dragon-Type, but it has a moveset that uses Dragon, Flying, and Psychic Attacks. Keep this in mind when you choose the Pokemon you want to bring along, so you can prevent losing in battle early on.

How to Get Shiny Drampa in Pokemon GO
Every time you take on Drampa in a Raid Battle, you'll have the chance to encounter a Shiny Drampa. Since Drampa is a Tier 3 Raid Boss, you should be able to encounter it pretty often and defeat it in battle multiple times. Each time you defeat a Drampa Raid Boss, the chance of encountering a Shiny will increase.
As always, it's a good idea to stick around at the gym after you've defeated Drampa to see if any others might appear. Remember that Shinies appear randomly, so there is no guarantee you'll find a Shiny Drampa. However, the more you defeat it, the more likely you'll find one.
