Tri-Poison
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon. That Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 3 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns. This power can't be used if Drapion is affected by a Special Condition.
The Tri-Poison ability lets you apply three damage counters to a poisoned target instead of just one. This accelerates the knockout process significantly compared to standard poison effects.
