Choice Scarf Dragapult is an exceptional revenge killer due to its incredible Speed tier and ability to pressure opposing Dragon teams. Infiltrator allows Dragapult to threaten sweepers behind Substitute like opposing Dragapult as well as ignore Aurora Veil, dealing with Kyurem. Dragon Darts is Dragapult's most reliable Dragon type move, boasting a great Base Power and the ability to easily clean Dragon teams late-game. Phantom Force targets Ghost-types like Flutter Mane and Spectrier, removing them in a pinch. Alternatively, Shadow Ball may be used instead for a one-turn Ghost-type move; however, most foes need to be chipped down, as the move uses Dragapult's lower Special Attack stat, unlike Phantom Force. U-turn enables Dragapult as a fast pivot, allowing it to escape unfavorable situations as well as lure in Dark types like Hoopa-U and Meowscarada. Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp allow Dragapult to hinder offensive threats that its other moves don't threaten; the former slows down Choice Scarf Enamorus and Iron Valiant, while the latter weakens Kingambit. Fire Blast may be used as a substitute to threaten Steel- and Ice-types such as Skarmory, Alolan Sandslash, and Weavile. A Jolly nature grants Dragapult the ability to outpace other Choice Scarf users like Flutter Mane, Darkrai, and Spectrier, while a Hasty nature may be used should Shadow Ball or Fire Blast be opted for.

Archaludon provides great physical bulk, taking on threats such as Dragonite, Gouging Fire, and Mimikyu as well as setting up Stealth Rock, enhancing Dragapult's revenge killing ability. In return, Dragapult offers a Fighting immunity, combating threats such as Sneasler and Keldeo. Gouging Fire threatens Steel-types like Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Kingambit, while Dragapult removes faster Dragon types such as Latios and Roaring Moon for it. Latias and Latios scare away Poison-type walls like Okidogi, Toxapex, and Galarian Weezing as well as take on Ground types such as Great Tusk, Landorus, and Clodsire. Kyurem appreciates Dragapult's aforementioned Fighting immunity and ability to remove faster Dragon-types like Roaring Moon and Latias. In exchange, Kyurem breaks walls like Toxapex, Mandibuzz, and Hippowdon as well as removes Archaludon once pivoted in by U-turn. Raging Bolt breaks Water- and Flying-type threats like Primarina, Corviknight, and Galarian Moltres. Additionally, Thunderclap allows Raging Bolt to remove faster threats such as Choice Scarf Enamorus, Greninja, and Barraskewda. Hisuian Goodra provides an answer to Ice- and Fairy- types like Kyurem, Articuno, and Hatterene and gives Knock Off support to ease Dragapult's cleaning late-game.

Choice Scarf Dragapult is an exceptional revenge killer due to its incredible Speed tier and ability to pressure Ghost and opposing Dragon teams. Infiltrator allows Dragapult to threaten sweepers behind Substitute like Sinistcha and opposing Dragapult as well as ignore Aurora Veil, dealing with Kyurem. Dragon Darts is Dragapult's most reliable Dragon type move, boasting a great base power and the ability to break Dragonite's Multiscale. Phantom Force targets Ghost and Psychic types such as Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Hatterene. Alternatively, Shadow Ball may be used instead for a 1 turn Ghost type move, however, most foes need to be chipped down as the move uses Dragapult's lower Special Attack stat unlike Phantom Force. U-turn enables Dragapult as a fast pivot, allowing it to escape unfavourable situations as well as threatens Dark types like Hoopa-U and Meowscarada. Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp allow Dragapult to hinder offensive threats that its other moves don't threaten; the former slowing down Choice Scarf Enamorus and Iron Valiant while the latter weakening Kingambit, Urshifu-R, and Azumarill. Fire Blast may be used as a substitute to threaten Steel and Ice types such as Skarmory, Alolan Sandslash, and Weavile. A Jolly nature grants Dragapult the ability to outpace other Choice Scarf users like Flutter Mane, Darkrai, and Spectrier while a Hasty nature may be used should Shadow Ball or Fire Blast be opted for.

Archaludon provides a Fairy type neutrality, taking on Clefable, Enamorus (I notice the later half of the teammate explanation also shows that Enamorus is dealt by Raging Bolt. Here I would recommend taking a different route with fairy types as Enamorus is dealt by RB first. Perhaps a neutrality to Gheezing or even a pivot into non boosted Hatterene as Dkiss/Dgleam with some investment to Spdef can still be tanked.), and Mimikyu as well as sets up Stealth Rock, enhancing Dragapult's revenge-killing ability. In return, Dragapult offers a Fighting type immunity, combating threats such as Sneasler, Keldeo, and Gallade. Gouging Fire threatens Steel type like Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Kingambit while Dragapult removes faster Dragon types such as Latios, Raging Bolt, and Roaring Moon. Latias and Latios scare away Poison type walls like Amoonguss (Amoongus in poison as of late isn't ran as much anymore. I'd say something like Okidogi since Bulky Sp.def sets are ran > Mushroom.), Toxapex, and Galarian Weezing as well as take on Ground types such as Great Tusk, Landorus, and Quagsire (Clodsire). Kyurem appreciates Dragapult's aforementioned Fighting type immunity and ability to remove fater Dragon types (Not sure if that was to say Fatter or Faster. But either or, like who exactly would Kyurem check?). In exchange, Kyurem breaks walls like Swampert, Mandibuzz, and Overqwil Hippowdon as well as offers a situational Ice type neutrality. Raging Bolt breaks Water and Flying type threats such as Primarina, Corviknight, and Galarian Moltres. Additionally, Thunderclap allows Raging Bolt to remove faster threats like Choice Scarf Enamorus, Greninja, and Barraskewda. Hisuian Goodra provides an answer to Ice types such as Alolan Ninetales, Frosmoth Kyurem, and Articuno as well as provides Knock Off support to ease Dragapult's time cleaning late-game.

Choice Scarf Dragapult is an exceptional revenge killer due to its incredible Speed tier and ability to pressure Ghost (it actually doesnt pressure ghost since Phantom Force is just awful. Its more on just getting the jump on threats like Scarf Meow Specs Gren and Dragon's scarfer's in general) and opposing Dragon teams. Infiltrator allows Dragapult to threaten sweepers behind Substitute like Sinistcha (nyot an issue, you can probably use Spectrier if you want?) and opposing Dragapult as well as ignore Aurora Veil, dealing with Kyurem. Dragon Darts is Dragapult's most reliable Dragon type move, boasting a great base power and the ability to break Dragonite's Multiscale (nyot really needed, it actually doesnt even kill dnite...maybe just cleaning dragon teams is enough). Phantom Force targets Ghost and Psychic types such as Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Hatterene (its kinda odd, since 2 turn moves means that they can just pivot out, you can mention that it is in fact a move that OHKOs FM in a pinch). Alternatively, Shadow Ball may be used instead for a 1 turn Ghost type move, however, most foes need to be chipped down as the move uses Dragapult's lower Special Attack stat unlike Phantom Force. U-turn enables Dragapult as a fast pivot, allowing it to escape unfavourable situations as well as threatens Dark types like Hoopa-U and Meowscarada (this is a main usage of scarf, because luring and removing these helps lots). Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp allow Dragapult to hinder offensive threats that its other moves don't threaten; the former slowing down Choice Scarf Enamorus and Iron Valiant while the latter weakening Kingambit, Urshifu-R, and Azumarill (not really that much an issue, or at least these dont warrant sacrificing Pult). Fire Blast may be used as a substitute to threaten Steel and Ice types such as Skarmory, Alolan Sandslash, and Weavile. A Jolly nature grants Dragapult the ability to outpace other Choice Scarf users like Flutter Mane, Darkrai, and Spectrier while a Hasty nature may be used should Shadow Ball or Fire Blast be opted for.

Archaludon provides a Fairy type neutrality, taking on Clefable (nop, it might be better to mention Dnite, Gouger which you dont OHKO), Galarian Weezing (Ceruledge maybe? Shadow Sneak hurts), and Mimikyu as well as sets up Stealth Rock, enhancing Dragapult's revenge-killing ability. In return, Dragapult offers a Fighting type immunity, combating threats such as Sneasler, Keldeo, and Gallade (non-choice, just clicks Night Slash/Sneak next turn). Gouging Fire threatens Steel type like Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Kingambit while Dragapult removes faster Dragon types such as Latios, Raging Bolt, and Roaring Moon. Latias and Latios scare away Poison type walls like Okidogi, Toxapex, and Galarian Weezing as well as take on Ground types such as Great Tusk, Landorus, and Clodsire. Kyurem appreciates Dragapult's aforementioned Fighting type immunity and ability to remove faster Dragon types like Roaring Moon and Latias (getting pivoted in is nice too). In exchange, Kyurem breaks walls like Swampert (doesnt really want in vs Pult anyway) Toxapex, Mandibuzz, and Hippowdon as well as offers a situational Ice type neutrality. Raging Bolt breaks Water and Flying type threats like Primarina, Corviknight, and Galarian Moltres. Additionally, Thunderclap allows Raging Bolt to remove faster threats such as Choice Scarf Enamorus, Greninja, and Barraskewda. Hisuian Goodra provides an answer to Ice- and Fairy- types like Alolan Ninetales, Kyurem, and Articuno, and Hatterene as well as provides Knock Off support to ease Dragapult's time cleaning late-game.
*something not really mentioned is that this Pult actually hates Archa, so pivoting in the breakers you mentioned is pretty neat.
