[SET COMMENTS]
* Dragapult's incredible Speed makes it a very effective hit-and-run attacker.
* Phantom Force is risky due to the two turns making Dragapult vulnerable to Normal-types and surprise Terastallization, but lack of many strong Ghost-resistant foes makes it an effective late-game cleaning move.
Tera Types
========
* **Dragon-type and Ghost-type**: Terastallizing into either of Dragapult's STAB types makes it even more difficult to wall, with Ghost being notable for letting Dragapult use a less risky STAB move in Tera Blast.
* **Fire-type**: Tera Fire gives a valuable Fairy-type resistance and is a more powerful tool against Steel-types at the cost of a Stealth Rock weakness.
Items
========
* **Choice Band**: Choice Band guarantees that Breloom is OHKOed through its Focus Sash with Dragon Darts.
* **Life Orb**: Life Orb makes Sucker Punch a less risky option.

[SET COMMENTS]
* Despite Dragapult's insane Speed stat, Dragon Dance insulates it from popular Choice Scarf revenge killers such as Gholdengo, making it a great sweeper.
* Phantom Force's drawback can be an issue when Normal-types are potentially around, but its great coverage still makes it good way to clean teams.
Tera Types
========
* **Dragon-type**: Not only does this make Dragon Darts difficult to wall, but it clinches a OHKO on Breloom regardless of the item.
* **Steel-type**: Steel covers a lot of Dragapult's former weaknesses, letting it set up on new foes such as Mimikyu.
* **Fire-type**: Not only does this make Fairy-types easier to deal with, but it can help Dragapult sweep through defensive Steel-types such as Corviknight with Tera Blast.
* **Ghost-type**: Terastallizing into a Ghost-type gives Dragapult the option for a much more reliable STAB move in Tera Blast, at the cost of not helping it set up against new threats.

[SET COMMENTS]
* Draco Meteor and Shadow Ball give Dragapult high-powered and reliable STAB attacks, respectively.
* Thunderbolt is the recommended coverage move for hitting Corviknight and Dondozo hard.
* Even though it's weak, U-turn is a reasonable consideration for pivoting and breaking Mimikyu's Disguise.
Tera Types
========
* **Ghost-type**: The stronger Shadow Ball makes this Dragapult difficult to wall outside of Normal-types and Ghost resistant foes such as Garganacl.
* **Fire-type**: The Fairy-type resistance and powerful Flamethrower can make the Stealth Rock weakness worth it.
* **Electric-type**: Tera Electric Dragapult still deals plenty of damage to Corviknight, while being less vulnerable to Dondozo's Water-type attacks compared to a Fire Tera type.
