Dragapult @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Darts
- Phantom Force
- U-turn
- Will-O-Wisp

Dragapult's incredible Speed tier paired with a Choice Scarf makes it a powerful and blazing fast revenge killer, outspeeding Pokemon like Excadrill in sand, Kingdra in rain, and other common Choice Scarf users such as Weavile and Latias. A physical set allows Dragapult to handle Pokemon like Volcarona that are devastating for Dragon-type teams and make use of its higher Attack stat. U-turn makes Dragapult a reliable offensive pivot and generates momentum for the rest of the team. Will-O-Wisp cripples both offensive and defensive threats to it like Bisharp and Ferrothorn. Infiltrator allows Dragapult to deal with threatening Substitute users like Kyurem and Kommo-o while also bypassing screens. Pokemon like Hydreigon and Kyurem are good partners due to setting up on common Pokemon Dragapult forces in like Toxapex. These Pokemon additionally help with Steel-types Dragapult struggles with like Celesteela and Ferrothorn. Powerful wallbreakers like Choice Specs Kyurem and Zygarde-10% appreciate Dragapult's ability to bring them in with U-turn.
