Drakloak

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Drakloak is the Caretaker Pokémon — Dragon and Ghost middle stage between Dreepy and Dragapult. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Dragapult — not a finished raid attacker. Dragon/Ghost hits Psychic and other Dragons well; Dark, Fairy, Ice, Ghost, and Dragon punish it. Evolve Dreepy up the line.
