Dragapult is a great offensive Pokemon on Ghost teams because of its amazing Speed, allowing it to outspeed the majority of the metagame, coupled with its good offensive stats. Phantom Force hits Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Mimikyu and Bronzong for super effective damage, although it is recommended to be used while under Dynamax, as taking one turn to charge up is undesirable otherwise. The last slot can either be Outrage to hit bulkier targets such as Toxapex for more damage or Sucker Punch to avoid a Speed tie with opposing Dragapult. Infiltrator is good for avoiding Substitute users while using Dynamax, while Clear Body can be useful against teams with Sticky Web. Maximum Attack and Speed investment along with a Jolly nature ensures Dragapult hits as hard and fast as possible. U-turn should be used constantly in order to grab momentum against Pokemon that Dragapult may have a hard time beating such as Hippowdon. Be careful when using Dynamax, as Dynamaxing Dragapult actually makes it weaker, but the bulk is great for making sure it survives hits it otherwise wouldn't be able to and deal heavy damage back with moves like Max Phantasm, which therefore turns Dragapult into a good mid-game wallbreaker.
Entry hazard setters such as Corsola, Froslass, and Runerigus pair up well with Dragapult, as Dragapult appreciates their entry hazards, helping it to wallbreak more easily. Sableye is a great partner because of its ability to break down Pokemon that Dragapult can't beat easily by itself such as Hippowdon, Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight. Dragapult is also great with other offensive Pokemon like Polteageist, Mimikyu, and Gengar, as they all support each other offensively to break down shared checks and counters.
