Drakloak in Pokemon Survivor

Drakloak at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Drakloak has 101 HP, 121 speed and a 1.14x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is about average, its speed is well above average and its attack is below average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 54.2, which puts it at rank 421 overall, rank 48 of 87 among Galar Pokemon and rank 44 of 67 Dragon-types and 29 of 60 Ghost-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Drakloak sits next to Vigoroth one place above it and Cherrim one place below it.

Drakloak moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Drakloak starts every run with Dragon Rage: draconic flames in a straight line.

The level-up cards can then offer 13 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 5 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Dragon moves: Dragon Rage, Dragon Dance
• Ghost moves: Lick, Shadow Ball, Hex

Weaknesses and resistances

Drakloak takes extra damage from Ice (1.6x), Ghost (1.6x), Dragon (1.6x), Dark (1.6x), and Fairy (1.6x). It resists Normal (0.3x), Fighting (0.3x), Fire (0.6x), Water (0.6x), Electric (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Poison (0.6x), and Bug (0.6x). The remaining 5 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Drakloak are the ones whose first type is Ice, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, or Fairy. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Dragon or Ghost moves do not hit harder just because Drakloak shares the type.

How to get Drakloak

Drakloak is part of the Galar banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (17% for Rare) and then picks one of the 23 Rare Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Drakloak a 0.74% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 135 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 60 coins, or 180 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

A rarity-3 Pokemon like Drakloak can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Drakloak exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Drakloak as an enemy

Drakloak can show up as a regular enemy from 2:40 into the run (enemy tier 3). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is beamer: it fires a long ray after a one-second warning line on the ground.
