Drampa is a kind and friendly Pokémon—up until it’s angered. When that happens, it stirs up a gale and flattens everything around.

Ummm so Drampa can punch even though it doesn’t have any arms??

It does, actually! Its arms are those white fluffy parts at its sides!

That wouldn’t count as sufficient to be given a punching attack. Corkscrew Punch has previously shown up on Pokémon without fists (DX Phanpy, PHF Swadloon, UNB Grubbin), and it’s presumably going to keep happening because the original name of the attack is どつ, which coul mean “punch”, but more typically means a more open-ended ‘hit’. WOTC mistranslated it (re: completely changed the name of the attack) back on N2 Poliwrath and even though the move appeared in the Gen 5 TCG where it seems like a lot of these mistranslations got fixed, this one of the ones that are still persisting into the present.
