[SET COMMENTS]

Dragapult makes an amazing setup sweeper with with its decent 120 Attack stat and a skyscraping 142 Speed stat. Phantom Force paired with Ghostium Z and Dragon Dance packs a punch and allows Dragapult to devastate foes while also skipping the two-turn nature of Phantom Force. It also allows Dragapult to OHKO Clefable and offensive Great Tusk with a +1 Never-Ending Nightmare, if Adamant. Dragon Darts helps Dragapult beat Dragonite from full HP, as well as doing respectable damage to most of the tier at +1. Substitute allows Dragapult to set up Dragon Dance multiple times on passive Pokemon like Alomomola and Slowbro. Will-O-Wisp, on the other hand, is used to burn Pokemon like Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Zamazenta when in a pinch, allowing teammates to take advantage of them. Both of these moves also deny Sucker Punch from Kingambit. Clear Body is run to avoid stat-lowering effects such as Landorus-T's Intimidate. Adamant Dragapult struggles with faster foes like Zamazenta, +1 Adamant Dragonite, and Weavile, the latter of which it Speed ties with; thus, running a Jolly nature is helpful is these scenarios.

Dragapult best fits on hyper offense teams while also being able to find places on offense teams quite often. It mostly struggles with Pursuit trappers like Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar and faster Pokemon like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Booster Energy Speed Iron Valiant. Dragapult pairs extremely well with Fighting-types like Zamazenta and Great Tusk, which pressure the aforementioned Pursuit trappers. It also pairs well with Fairy-types like Iron Valiant, which are able to threaten Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar as well as suppress other Dragon-types like opposing Dragapult and Dragonite. Since Dragapult is able to at least either trade with a Pokemon or heavily dent anything with Ghostium Z in a given match, Pokemon that appreciate walls like Clefable and Toxapex being chipped like Dragapult as a partner; Pokemon like Swords Dance Kingambit and Volcarona pair well with Dragapult in the aforementioned scenarios. Volcarona is another great partner since it is able to handle Choice Specs Iron Valiant with ease, allowing Dragapult to wallbreak freely. If using Will-O-Wisp, Pokemon that appreciate foes like Zamazenta, Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Hisuian Samurott getting burned greatly value Dragapult as a partner. Steel-types like Gholdengo and Melmetal make good partners for Dragapult, since they are able to handle threatening Fairy-types like Tapu Lele and Tapu Koko.

Dragapult makes an amazing setup sweeper with with it's satisfacory 120 Attack Stat and a mesmerizing 142 Speed Stat. Dragapult is able to hit most if not everything in the just say most since not hitting KGB is big current metagame for neutral damage with it's Dragon and Ghost type STABs. Running an Adamant Nature allows you to have a guarenteed OHKO against Clefable and Offensive Great Tusk with a Never-Ending-Nightmare at +1 with extremely minor chip. Adamant Dragapult struggles with faster foes like Zamazenta, Weavile which it speed ties with, and an Adamant Dragonite at +1, all of which are unfavorable. This is all fine it should just be at the bottom of this paragraph. The Clear Body ability is ran to not get your stats lowered from the likes of Landorus-Therian. Phantom Force is the only strong Ghost type STAB that Dragapult gets. Filler Phantom Force paired with Ghostium Z and Dragon Dance, forms an incredible nuke, allowing Dragapult to trade with the opposing team profitably. Give specific examples of what Ghost Z does KO alongside mentioning how skipping the two turn nature of Phantom force once is beneficial. Dragon Darts, helps Dragapult beat Dragonite from full, as well as do respectable damage to most of the tier at +1. The last slot is flexible, with Substitute which enhances the potency of Dragapult as it allows it to set multiple Dragon Dances. on what? give specific examples of mons you set up on. Will-O-Wisp, on the other hand is used to burn pokemon like Kingambit, Tyranitar and Zamazenta when in a pinch, allowing other teammates to take advantage of that. Running an Adamant Nature allows you to have a guarenteed OHKO against Clefable and Offensive Great Tusk with a Never-Ending-Nightmare at +1 with extremely minor chip. Adamant Dragapult struggles with faster foes like Zamazenta, Weavile which it speed ties with, and an Adamant Dragonite at +1, all of which are unfavorable.

Dragapult best fits on Hyper Offensive teams, while also being able to find places on offense teams quite often. It mostly struggles with pursuit trappers like Kingambit and Tyranitar, and faster pokemon like Choice Scarfed Tapu Lele and Booster Energy Speed Iron Valiant. Dragapult pairs extremely well with fighting types like Zamazenta and Great Tusk which pressure the aforementioned pursuit trappers in Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar. It also pairs well with fairy types like like Iron Valiant and Mega Diancie Don't love the Mega Diancie mention since its usually used as a suicide lead on HO and such a set doesn't pressure the above options in the same way. which are also able to threaten Kingambit and Tyranitar, as well as suppress other dragon types like opposing Dragapults, Garchomp etc. and preventing hazards from going up on the user's side in the latter's case. Since Dragapult is able to either trade with a pokemon or heavily dent anything with Ghostium Z, pokemon which appreciate walls like Clefable and Toxapex being chipped appreciate Dragapult as a partner. Pokemon like Swords Dance Kingambit and Volcarona pair well with Dragapult in the above mentioned scenarios. Mention that Volcarona can help handle some Iron Valiant sets for Dragapult, could also mention Gholdengo as a partner that takes care of scarf lele since u mention it earlier. If using Will-O-Wisp in the last slot, pokemon that appreciate stuff foes like Zamazenta, Kingambit, Mega-Tyranitar, and Hisuian Samurott etc. getting burnt, greatly value Dragapult as a partner. Some examples of these type of pokemon are Gholdengo and Kingambit.

Dragapult makes an amazing setup sweeper with with it's satisfacory <= word choice here is weird 120 Attack Stat and a mesmerizing <= this one too, the adjective should imply the reason you call it good like for example "massive defense stat" or something, choose an appropriate adjective 142 Speed Stat. Dragapult is able to hit most pokemon in the metgame for neutral damage. filler honestly Clear Body is ran to not get your stats lowered from the likes of Landorus-Therian. <= move this sentence down to after moves explanation Phantom Force paired with Ghostium Z and Dragon Dance, forms an incredible nuke <= word choice again kek this is too casual, allowing Dragapult to OHKO a Clefable and Offensive Great Tusk with a +1 Never-Ending Nightmare, if Adamant. Dragon Darts, helps Dragapult beat Dragonite from full, as well as do respectable damage to most of the tier at +1. The last slot is flexible, with Substitute which enhances the potency of Dragapult as it allows it to set multiple Dragon Dances on passive pokemon like Alomomola and Slowbro. Will-O-Wisp, on the other hand is used to burn pokemon like Kingambit, Tyranitar and Zamazenta when in a pinch, allowing other teammates to take advantage of that. can mention that both moves deny sucker from kgb Adamant Dragapult struggles with faster foes like Zamazenta, Weavile which it speed ties with, and an Adamant Dragonite at +1, all of which are unfavorable. Thus, running a Jolly Nature is helpful is these scenarioes.

Thread 'Spelling and Grammar Standards'

Introduction
This thread is a reflection of C&C's spelling and grammar standards. The purpose of this thread is so users can both discuss the standards and refer to them easily within our forums. Feel free to suggest any additions or changes to these standards, and if you have any questions feel free to post.

3) In-game...
  • Like
  • Love
  • Wow
it seems like a lot (and is) but it will really help a lot, but it isnt all needed and if its overwhelming just pay attention to the below first

Forms:
Landorus-T not Landorus-Therian, this applies to anything with a "-" that isn't Ting-Lu (so for example Rotom-W not Rotom-Wash)
Mega Tyranitar not M-Tyranitar, you get this right sometimes and sometimes not so I'm not sure why
Hisuian Samurott not H-Samurott, this goes for all regional variants (so Galarian Slowking not Slowking-G or G-Slowking)

Do not use "you" or "your" in an analysis. Try to find another way to structure sentences so they do not directly address the reader.
"Pokemon", capital P, not "pokemon" or "mon" or "Pokémon".
Fighting-types, not fighting types.
When referring to names of sets that are not the actual analysed Pokemon, do not capitalise. "offensive Great Tusk", not "Offensive Great Tusk", unless of course it is the first of a sentence.
Team archetypes are also not capitalised, so "hyper offense" not "Hyper Offense" and certainly not "HO".

Hope you can use this feedback to improve. I used proper grammar for this ^ section to avoid confusion. Thanks

Dragapult makes an amazing setup sweeper with with it's its it's = it is decent 120 Attack Stat and a skyscraping 142 Speed Stat. Phantom Force paired with Ghostium Z and Dragon Dance, (RC) packs a punch and allows Dragapult to devastate opponents foes opponent is the opposing player :skull: while also skipping the two-(AH)turn natrue nature of Phantom Force for a turn. It allowing also allows Dragapult to OHKO a Clefable and offensive do not capitalise set names aside from the analysed set itself Great Tusk with a +1 Never-Ending Nightmare, if Adamant. Dragon Darts, (RC) helps Dragapult beat Dragonite from full HP, as well as do doing respectable damage to most of the tier at +1. The last slot is flexible, with fluff Substitute enhancing the potency of Dragapult as it allows it allows Dragapult also fluff to set multiple Dragon Dances on passive Pokemon capitalise Pokemon, take note like Alomomola and Slowbro. Will-O-Wisp, on the other hand, is used to burn Pokemon like Kingambit, Mega surely? Tyranitar, (AC) and Zamazenta when in a pinch, allowing other teammates to take advantage of that them. Both of these moves also deny Sucker Punch from Kingambit. Clear Body is ran run to not get your stats lowered from the likes of Landorus-Therian avoid stat-lowering effects such as Landorus-T's Intimidate rephrased because it was awkward, also take note of how "Landorus-T" is written. Adamant Dragapult struggles with faster foes like Zamazenta, Weavile, (AC) which it Speed ties with, and an Adamant Dragonite at +1, all of which are unfavorable. Thus, running a Jolly nature is helpful is these scenarioes scenarios.

Dragapult best fits on hyper Offensive offense do not capitalise team archetypes teams, (RC) while also being able to find places on offense teams quite often. It mostly struggles with Pursuit trappers like Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar, (RC) and faster Pokemon like Choice Scarfed Tapu Lele and Booster Energy Speed Iron Valiant. Dragapult pairs extremely well with fighting types Fighting-types take note of this like Zamazenta and Great Tusk, (AC) which pressure the aforementioned Pursuit trappers in Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar u alr say aforementioned. It also pairs well with fairy types Fairy-types like like Iron Valiant, (AC) which is are able to threaten Kingambit and M-Tyranitar Mega Tyranitar, (RC) as well as suppress other dragon types Dragon-types like opposing Dragapult and Dragonite. Since Dragapult is able to either trade with a Pokemon or heavily dent anything with Ghostium Z, Pokemon which appreciate walls like Clefable and Toxapex being chipped appreciate Dragapult as a partner. Pokemon like Swords Dance Kingambit and Volcarona pair well with Dragapult in the above mentioned aforementioned may not be directly above scenarios. Volcarona is another great partner since it is able to handle Choice Specs Iron Valiant with ease, allowing Dragapult to wallbreak freely. If using Will-O-Wisp in the last slot, Pokemon that appreciate foes like Zamazenta, Kingambit, M-Tyranitar Mega Tyranitar, (AC) and H-Samurott. Hisuian Samurott write regional variants like this getting burnt, (RC) greatly value Dragapult as a partner. Steel-types <= yay! like Gholdengo and Melmetal make good partners for Dragapult, (AC) since they are able to handle the threatening fairy types in Fairy-types like aw... Tapu Lele and Tapu Koko.

Dragapult makes an amazing setup sweeper with with its decent 120 Attack stat and a skyscraping 142 Speed stat oopsies i missed this from the original check. Phantom Force paired with Ghostium Z and Dragon Dance packs a punch and allows Dragapult to devastate foes while also skipping the two-turn <= two spaces nature of Phantom Force. It also allows Dragapult to OHKO Clefable and offensive Great Tusk with a +1 Never-Ending Nightmare, if Adamant. Dragon Darts helps Dragapult beat Dragonite from full HP, as well as doing respectable damage to most of the tier at +1. Substitute allows Dragapult to set multiple Dragon Dances set up Dragon Dance multiple times another oopsies i missed this, pokemon moves can never be plural on passive Pokemon like Alomomola and Slowbro. Will-O-Wisp, on the other hand, is used to burn Pokemon like Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Zamazenta when in a pinch, allowing teammates to take advantage of them. Both of these moves also deny Sucker Punch from Kingambit. Clear Body is run to avoid stat-lowering effects such as Landorus-T's Intimidate. Adamant Dragapult struggles with faster foes like Zamazenta, +1 Adamant Dragonite, and Weavile, the latter of which it Speed ties with. ; (RP ASC) honestly this feels better
