[SET COMMENTS]

* Outrage is for non-Choice Scarf and non-Haban Berry Dragon-type Pokemon and can be used to deal massive STAB damage against Pokemon such as Volcarona, Porygon-Z, and Zapdos.
* Dragon Darts is specifically used to break Substitute from Pokemon like Espathra.
* Phantom Force covers Ghost-type Pokemon like Spectrier, Pecharunt, Annihilape, and non-physically defensive Skeledirge.
* U-turn deals with physically defensive Hoopa-U.
* Dragapult's ability Clear Body allows it to ignore stat changes from Landorus-T and Pecharunt.
* Dragapult's Ghost typing allows it to safely attack without having to worry about getting hit by Counter from Defensive Ogerpon-W.
* While Adamant nature allows Dragapult to deals maximum damage and allows it to have better odds against other Pokemon such as Metagross and Skeledirge, Jolly nature allows it to outspeed Spectrier, Darkrai, and Chien-Pao.
* Dragapult struggles against Dark-, Dragon-, or Fairy-type Pokemon such as Urshifu-S, Primarina, and Speed Booster Energy Roaring Moon. Pokemon like Sylveon and Iron Valiant, which cover for Dragapult's Dark and Dragon weaknesses, and Scizor and Corviknight, which cover for Dragapult's Fairy and Dark weaknesses are good teammates.

* Outrage is for non-Choice sScarf and non-Haban bBerry Dragon-type Pokémon and It can be used to deal massive STAB damage.
* Dragon Darts is specifically for weaker frailer Haban dDragon-type Pokémon holding a Haban Berry like Raging Bolt and It can also be used to break Substitute from pPokemon like Espathra.
* Phantom Force covers for Ghost-type pokemon like Spectrier, Pecharunt, Annihilape, and non-Physically Defensive Skeledirge. // Oxford Comma
* U-turn deals with non-Scarf or non-Custap Berry (something else) Hoopa-U which is 4 times weak against Bug-type moves.
// I don't think you need to specify the type matchup here
// I've highlighted the Hoopa sets because U-Turn is really only for Physically Defensive Hoopa. I think that should be emphasised

* Dragapult's ability Clear Body allows dragapult it to ignore Sstats changes from Landorus-T and Pecharunt.
// I find it clunky to mention Dragapult's name several times close together
* Dragapult's Ghost-type allows it to safely attack without having to worry about getting hit by Counter by from Defensive Ogerpon-W, and Donphan, and etc.
// Oxford Comma + remove "etc"
* A line about using Jolly vs Adamant

* Dragapult struggles against pokemon with Dark-, Dragon-, or Fairy-type such as Chien-Pao // Not if Jolly or running Ice Shard , Primarina, and Roaring Moon, and etc. So Pokemon like Sylveon and Iron Valiant which cover for Dragapult's Dark and Dragon weaknesses, or and Scizor and Corviknight which cover for Dragapult's Fairy and Dark weakness are good teammates.
// Chien Pao can be replaced with something else
// Looks like a lot of edits but most are minor grammar corrections. good job

* Outrage is for non-Choice Scarf and non-Haban Berry Dragon-type Pokémon and can be used to deal massive STAB damage (against the likes of...?).
* Dragon Darts is specifically for frailer Dragon-type Pokémon holding a Haban Berry like Raging Bolt (252+ Atk Choice Band Dragapult Dragon Darts (2 hits) vs. 176 HP / 44 Def Haban Berry Raging Bolt: 396-468 (91 - 107.5%) -- approx. 43.8% chance to OHKO, it's a roll but i'm not too confident about this one, it's also not on your favor so like yeah, different example.) and it can also be used to break Substitute from Pokemon like Espathra.
* Phantom Force covers Ghost-type pPokemon like Spectrier, Pecharunt, Annihilape, and non-Physically Defensive Skeledirge.
* U-turn deals with Physically Defensive Hoopa-U.
* Dragapult's ability Clear Body allows it to ignore stat changes from Landorus-T and Pecharunt.
* Dragapult's Ghost-type allows it to safely attack without having to worry about getting hit by Counter from Defensive Ogerpon-W and Donphan. (252+ Atk Choice Band Dragapult Dragon Darts (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Donphan: 218-258 (67.9 - 80.3%) -- approx. 2HKO, not good enough to be an example)
* While Adamant nature allows Dragapult to deals maximum damage (insert examples here), Jolly nature allows it to outspeed max speed Spectrier, Choice Scarf Porygon-Z, max speed (max speed scarf pz hits 459 speed, dragapult hits 421) Darkrai, and max speed Chien-Pao.
* Dragapult struggles against pokemon with Dark-, Dragon-, or Fairy-type Pokemon such as Urshifu-S, Primarina, and Speed Booster Energy Roaring Moon. So Pokemon like Sylveon and Iron Valiant which cover for Dragapult's Dark and Dragon weaknesses, or Scizor and Corviknight which cover for Dragapult's Fairy and Dark weakness are good teammates.
