Dragapult has begun to launch its children at its problems in SV OU! While Dragapult unfortunately still lacks Poltergeist, the introduction of Terastallization + Tera Blast has given Dragapult a spammable physical Ghost-type STAB move, allowing physical sets, which has recently risen in usage, to finally slice through the metagame. U-turn eases predictions against cores like Clefable or Primarina + Ting-Lu, generates momentum, and prevents a free Kingambit switch in. Due to Dragapult's shallow physical movepool, Quick Attack is chosen to revenge kill weakened faster Pokemon like boosted Iron Valiant and Roaring Moon. Clear Body lets it ignore Landorus-T's Intimidate and Ribombee's Sticky Web. Offensive Pokemon like IronPress Zamazenta appreciates Dragapult breaking down physical walls to sweep more easily, while Hisuian Samurott softens defensive cores with Knock Off and Ceaseless Edge. Pivots like Iron Crown, Landorus-T, and Galarian Slowking can bring it into the field safely; moreover, they can switch into Pokemon like Iron Valiant, Kingambit, and Primarina, respectively, that forces Dragapult out. Iron Crown and Galarian Slowking's Future Sight also make Dragapult an even scarier wallbreaker.

Dragapult hat begonnen, seine Kinder auf seine Probleme im SV OU abzufeuern! Während Dragapult noch immer unglücklicherweise Poltergeist fehlt, hat ihm die Einführung von Terastalization und Tera Blast einen spambaren physischen Geist-Angriff mit STAB gegeben, was es physischen Sets, die jüngst an Nutzung gewonnen haben, endlich erlaubt, durch das Metagame zu schneiden. U-Turn erleichtert Prediction gegen Cores wie Clefable oder Primarina + Ting-Lu, generiert Momentum und verhindert ein freies Einwechseln von Kingambit. Aufgrund von Dragapults begrenztem physischen Movepool wurde Quick Attack gewählt, um geschwächte schnellere Pokémon, wie geboostetes Iron Valiant und Roaring Moon, zu revengekillen. Clear Body erlaubt es ihm, Landorus-T's Intimidate zu ignorieren und in Ribombees Sticky Web einzuwechseln. Offensive Pokémon wie Zamazenta mit Iron Press schätzen es, dass Dragapult physische Walls niederreißt, um leichter zu sweepen, während Samurott-Hisui defensive Cores mit Knock Off und Ceaseless Edge aufweicht. Pivots wie Iron Crown, Landorus-T und Slowking-Galar können es sicher ins Spiel bringen, des Weiteren können sie respektive in Pokémon wie Iron Valiant, Kingambit und Primarina einwechseln, welche Dragapult vom Spielfeld zwingen. Iron Crown und Calarian Slowkings Future Sight machen Dragapult zu einem noch furchteinflößenderem Wallbreaker.
