Drifblim also gets Quick Striker, making its default attack hit twice. It already hits twice without that, so i think that means it attacks 4 times in one turn.
Simply put, drifblim is the best pokemon in the game, embarrassing Mewtwo/Rayquaza/Darkrai/Palkia in terms of damage. And in level 1 dungeons, it's the best choice around, nothing is better in them. The funny thing is the devs still thought this was okay in Super
