Dracozolt outspeeds and quickly KOes a significant portion of the metagame. Its ability Hustle contributes to a large portion of its power but makes using Dracozolt risky because it lowers the accuracy of Dracozolt's moves. Bolt Beak is an exceptionally powerful STAB-boosted attack; it deals with Flying-types like Corviknight and Mandibuzz, Water-types like Dracovish, Golisopod, and Milotic, and generally Pokemon that do not resist it like Choice Band Galarian Darmanitan, Sylveon, and Cinderace. A neutral Bolt Beak will do the most damage unless Outrage is super effective or a coverage move is four times super effective against a foe. Outrage hits slower Dragapult, non-Choice Scarf Haxorus and Hydreigon, opposing Dracozolt, and non-Haban Berry Goodra. Earthquake handles non-Choice Scarf Excadrill and Choice Scarf Chandelure, while Low Kick handles Tyranitar, and Fire Fang handles Ferrothorn. Dracozolt's offensive capabilities are the focus of the given EV spread. An Adamant nature gives it even more power, helping most importantly against non-Life Orb Aegislash and extremely bulky Sylveon, whereas a Jolly nature lets it outspeed Modest non-Choice Scarf Dragapult and non-Counter Choice Scarf Sawk.
Dracozolt struggles with Fairy-types such as Galarian Weezing and Aromatisse, so Steel-types like Aegislash and Duraludon are good partners, and Dracozolt can take care of their weakness to Flying-types like Corviknight and Mandibuzz and Water-types like Milotic. Mold Breaker Pokemon, specifically Excadrill and Haxorus, are helpful against Sturdy and Disguise Pokemon, specifically Crustle, Sawk, and Mimikyu, and Dracozolt defeats some bulky Flying-types like Corviknight and Mandibuzz and Water-types like Golisopod. Other Dragon-types, most notably Dragapult and Choice Scarf Haxorus, can threaten Dracozolt by outspeeding it; these Pokemon can be beat back by walls such as Galarian Corsola, Fairy-types such as Galarian Weezing, Haban Berry Dragon-types such as Goodra, and to a lesser extent, Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan. Special wallbreakers such as Fake Tears Sylveon and Choice Specs Hydreigon complement Dracozolt by dealing with physical walls like Galarian Corsola and Duraludon, and in return, Dracozolt breaks down special walls like opposing Sylveon and Milotic. Dracozolt's weakness to Ground-types such as Rhyperior and Gastrodon can be covered by the likes of Corviknight and stall Rotom-W.
