[your boss]

Counters: Nidoqueen can hit back with Sheer Force boosted Earth Power but the Sniper boosted Night Slash can hurt, plus Aqua Tail is their as well. Escavalier resists anything not Fire Fang and can hit back with Choice Banded Megahorn.

Night assailant
@ razor fang
Adamant/jolly
Sniper
EV's: 252 attack, 252 speed, 4 defense or 4 SP.def
Night slash
Ice fang/fire fang
Aqua tail
Acupressure/agility/protect

Night slash to abuse its side effect and sniper to abuse it even more ice fang and fire fang for either coverage for ground or fire fang for the possibility to burn and half the opposing pokemons attack provided the effect kicks in and then you get more bulk resistance aqua tail for power and for coverage against ground the last slot could be if you want to take the chance to get the +2 attack/speed or defense or go with agility if you are running adamant or kick both moves and give it protect razor fang to help with the chance to get critical hits

Bulk Poison
@ black sludge
Battle armor
Impish/careful
EV's 252 defense, 92 attack, 96 SP.def, 100 HP
Moves
Acupressure/confuse Ray
Fire fang
Cross poison
Iron tail/earthquake

Battle armor for blocking criticals that can destroy you and end your stalling even though drapion isn't much of a staller. Acupressure for gaining stats like attack, defense, SP.def confuse ray as a staller because it has the possibility to be a bulkmon again fire fang for the possible burn cross poison because if you run this EV spread then you want critical hits to cover for its horrible EV attack iron tail for taking out rocks or ice that cab flinch or freeze you and earthquake for getting other poisons out of the way that would otherwise strike you down or for the 100 accuracy with nearly no misses

It's Pun Time! A few pun examples for Drapion...

Don't try making Drapuns! They are poisonous!
Drapion's Critical abilities are so Critical!
Drapion's (Anti)Hax abilities are so Critical!
Hax and Slash! (Sniper+Scope Lens set)
Hax and Critical Slash!
King Drapun (King Dragun reference)
The Scorpion King (the set I post earlier)

But most walls don't bother going for crits...I don't think any teams rely on getting a crit to take down a pokemon,

My point is Battle Armor shouldn't be used to take down stallers. It's used no hax is involved but stallers don't rely on crits.

Lots of people think drapion should spam high crit attacks & i have seen teams before that attempted to rely on crit hax...but, i agree, battle armour wouldn't have made a difference in outcomes anyways...it is be the useless...on drapion...
