Choice Band Dragapult is a formidable wallbreaker and late-game cleaner for Dragon teams with its high Attack and incredible Speed, powerful STAB combination, and great ability in Infiltrator. Dragon Darts is a strong and reliable STAB option, which with Stealth Rock damage, OHKOes foes like Greninja and Darkrai and 2HKOes Toxapex. Sucker Punch allows Dragapult to pick off weakened faster threats like Choice Scarf Latias, Iron Boulder, and opposing Dragapult. Psychic Fangs, on the other hand, threatens Poison- and Fighting-types like Galarian Weezing and Iron Valiant, potentially OHKOing the latter. With U-turn, Dragapult can pivot out of unfavorable matchups against foes like Toxapex, Archaludon, and Skarmory, bringing in teammates like Choice Specs Latios and Dragon Dance Gouging Fire.

With their exceptional bulk and typing, Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra provide a defensive backbone for Dragapult. Archaludon handles physical attackers like Ceruledge, Weavile, the Ogerpon formes, and Choice Scarf users like Meowscarada and Roaring Moon while also providing Stealth Rock support. Hisuian Goodra takes on Fairy-types like Primarina and Clefable and can safely switch into and threaten Choice Specs Greninja and Flutter Mane. Kyurem and Latios break through bulky Ground- and Flying-types like Hippowdon, Gliscor, and Mandibuzz and eliminate physical walls like Archaludon, Skarmory, and Dondozo. Latios and Latias threaten bulky Poison- and Fighting-types like Toxapex, Galarian Weezing, Great Tusk, and Iron Hands; Latias cripples the aforementioned foes with Trick and also provide Healing Wish support. Garchomp can set Spikes, which makes it easier for Dragapult to break through bulky foes, and handles Steel- and Poison-types like Heatran and Toxapex. Dragon Dance Gouging Fire deals with Steel-types like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Scizor. Choice Scarf Roaring Moon can eliminate common Choice Scarf users like Latias, Enamorus, and Gholdengo as well as opposing non-Choice Scarf Dragapult.

Choice Band Dragapult is a formidable wallbreaker and late-game cleaner for Dragon teams with its high Attack and incredible Speed, powerful STAB combination, and great ability in Infiltrator, which allows it to bypass dual screens and substitutes. (Filler) Dragan Darts threatens Dragon-types like Gouging Fire, Latios, and Kyurem. Sucker Punch allows Dragapult to pickoff weakened faster threats like Choice Scarf Latias, Flutter Mane, and opposing Dragapult while also taking on slower (Sucker Punch is +1 Priority and fails if it gets outsped) foes using priority moves like Ceruledge by outprioritizing using Shadow Sneak. Psychic Fangs, on the other hand, threatens Poison- and Fighting-types like Galarian Weezing and Iron Valiant. With U-turn, Dragapult can pivot out of unfavorable matchups against foes like Toxapex, Archaludon, and Skarmory, bringing in teammates like Choice Specs Latios and Dragon Dance Gouging Fire.

With their exceptional bulk and typing, Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra provide a defensive backbone for Dragapult. Archaludon handles physical attackers Ceruledge, Weavile, and the Ogerpon formes and Choice Scarfers like Meowscarada and Roaring Moon while also providing Stealth Rock support. Hisuian Goodra takes on Fairy-types like Primarina, Clefable and can safely switch into and threaten Choice Scarf Greninja Flutter Mane. Kyurem can break through bulky Ground-, Flying-, and Water-types like Hippowdown, Gliscor, Mandibuzz, and Dondozo; Latios and Latias threaten bulky Poison- and Fighting-types like Toxapex, Galarian Weezing, Great Tusk, and Iron Hands. Furthermore, they Latios can also eliminate physical walls like Archaludon and Skarmory, allowing Dragapult to clean up late-game (This is more of a Latios thing since Latias is usually a Scarfer with Dual STAB + Trick, and Healing Wish, which would be good to mention those traits). Garchomp can set Spikes which makes it easier for Dragapult to break through bulky foes and also handling Steel- and Poison-types like Heatran and Toxapex. Dragon Dance Gouging Fire is another important teammate that can also deals with Steel-types like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Heatran. Choice Scarf Roaring Moon can eliminate common Choice Scarf users like Latias, Enamorus, and Gholdengo which threaten Dragapult.

Choice Band Dragapult is a formidable wallbreaker and late-game cleaner for Dragon teams with its high Attack and incredible Speed, powerful STAB combination, and great ability in Infiltrator. Dragon Darts threatens Dragon-types like Gouging Fire, Latios, and Kyurem (you could mention that its actually quite strong, it circumvents Pex just swapping in since you threaten a 2HKO after SR because its strong.). Sucker Punch allows Dragapult to pickoff weakened faster threats like Choice Scarf Latias, (Choice Scarf?) Flutter Mane, and opposing Dragapult while also taking on slower foes using priority moves like Ceruledge using Shadow Sneak (You should be DDarting this because sash, otherwise you're probably dead since +2 Sneak is gonna be faster anyway). Psychic Fangs, on the other hand, threatens Poison- and Fighting-types like Galarian Weezing and Iron Valiant (mention that this is likely an OHKO). With U-turn, Dragapult can pivot out of unfavorable matchups against foes like Toxapex, Archaludon, and Skarmory, bringing in teammates like Choice Specs Latios and Dragon Dance Gouging Fire.

With their exceptional bulk and typing, Archaludon and Hisuian Goodra provide a defensive backbone for Dragapult.

Hisuian Goodra takes on Fairy-types like Primarina, Clefable and can safely switch into and threaten Choice Specs Scarf (Low Kick) Greninja and Flutter Mane. Kyurem (you can add Latios here too, if you want, so that Latias can have its own sentence for Scarfs. Alternatively, cut this sentence and just expand the Furthermore... sentence since the one I'm mentioning is already there) can break through bulky Ground- and Flying-types like Hippowdown (This is mispelled), Gliscor, and Mandibuzz; Latios and Latias threaten bulky Poison- and Fighting-types like Toxapex, Galarian Weezing, Great Tusk, and Iron Hands. Furthermore, Latios and Kyurem can also eliminate physical walls like Archaludon, Skarmory, and Dondozo, while Latias can cripple these Pokemon with Trick while providing Healing Wish support. Garchomp can set Spikes which makes it easier for Dragapult to break through bulky foes and also handling Steel- and Poison-types like Heatran and Toxapex. Dragon Dance Gouging Fire is another important teammate that can also deals with Steel-types like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Heatran (questionable, since the most common heatran is AB. Pick someone else). Choice Scarf Roaring Moon can eliminate common Choice Scarf users like Latias, Enamorus, and Gholdengo which threaten Dragapult.
