User Notes:
> Big thanks to Cedric and 2KB for assisting me in creating this fakevo.
> Vespiquen is known for having three signature moves, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to create some signature moves to kind of mirror that. So Drohnisse has two signature move ideas, both inspired by military tactics.
> A majority of its TM/HM-learned moveset is the same as Vespiquen's.
> Belly Drum was included in reference to the Jerusalem cricket, which is neither a cricket nor from Jerusalem. Incredible.
