It evolves into Drakloak starting at level 50, which evolves into Dragapult starting at level 60.

Biology

Dreepy is a small, green Pokémon resembling a reptile or amphibian. It has yellow eyes, pink horns, and a light green tail with two hand-like protrusions at the front of its body, while its head is a darker green. Its tail also possesses a darker green area with three protrusions surrounding it.

Dreepy are reborn ghosts of a prehistoric species that once lived in ancient seas. It tends to wander the locations where it once lived after it is reborn. Dreepy are exceptionally weak in combat, so much that on its own, a mere child could defeat it. However, it has the potential to become much stronger and evolve if it has friends to help it train.

Dreepy can often be seen fighting alongside its evolutionary relatives Drakloak and Dragapult. The latter even launches Dreepy at Mach speeds, which the Dreepy enjoy.
