What it does
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned.
It's so vicious that it's called the Sand Demon. Yet when confronted by Hippowdon, Drapion keeps a low profile and will never pick a fight.

Where it came from
Drapion (122/202) was released in early 2020 as part of the Sword & Shield base expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the beginning of the eighth generation of Pokémon in the TCG, introducing the V and VMAX mechanics that defined the era's competitive play. As a Darkness-type card, this Drapion serves as a representative of the series' transition into the Galar region's visual style, which moved toward more dynamic, 3D-inspired character renderings while maintaining the traditional layout of the classic card frame.
The artwork was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a long-standing artist in the Pokémon TCG whose work is known for clean lines and a bold approach to creature anatomy. Saitou was tasked with capturing Drapion's intimidating, scorpion-like aesthetic, emphasizing its defensive posture and formidable pincers. Within the set, the card was classified as a standard Rare, positioning it as an accessible pull for players building decks around Darkness-type synergies during the early Sword & Shield metagame.
