[SET COMMENTS}

This set is a set that can sweep the game at any stage (early game, mid game, and late game). Dragapult, due to its versatility, can deceive with various sets, and this set is very offensive. It can easily sweep against types such as Ghost, Dragon, Ground, Normal, Electric, Water, and Fire. With this set, it's difficult to deal with Pokémon like Skarmory (Whirlwind), Corviknight, Ting-Lu, Fezandipiti, Bisharp, Galarian Weezing, Dondozo, Avalugg, and Archaludon. And as I said before, it can bait SO MANY sets that I can't even list them all, and it's a great sweeper in Ghost-type Pokémon, since it has two very good STAB moves, and coverage moves like Sucker Punch, which makes it easier to sweep Normal-type Pokémon (if Ditto copies it), Dragon Fang is to make the Dragon-type STAB very strong, which is useful for taking down Pokémon like Ting Lu, Bisharp, and Avalugg.

Hey a few things since it looks like this is your first time ever writing a analysis:
- You need to make sure your prefix is on ongoing so it alert the qc team. If you wasn't finish with writing your analysis then you have the WIP prefix.

- This should be the correct set so change it back to this with the name of the set Dragon Dance (Ghost) in the analysis while adding the slash for sucker punch.

[SET COMMENTS]
Dondozo is a staple on rainless Water teams due to its phenomenal bulk and ability to check setup sweepers such as Gholdengo and Chien-Pao, thanks to Unaware. Dondozo faces competition from Quagsire as the team's Unaware user, as Quagsire has an immunity to Electric-type attacks and can stack entry hazards; however, it drops to Grass-type attacks. Curse allows Dondozo to apply offensive pressure, boosting its attack and allowing it to better hit targets such as Baxcalibur and Kingambit while also allowing it to better tank hits in return. Rest allows Dondozo to shrug off status and gives it longevity, allowing it to constantly absorb powerful attacks for Water teams, such as Great Tusk's Headlong Rush. Sleep Talk enables Dondozo to further take advantage of Rest, allowing it to continue to setup or attack its target while asleep. Dondozo takes advantage of its STAB through the use of Waterfall, doing more damage, but Avalanche allows Dondozo to OHKO Meowscarada, as well as pressure Water-immune Pokemon such as Clodsire and Gastrodon. Its EV spread allows Dondozo to tank attacks from Gholdengo and Flutter Mane, due to its already high physical defense, which may be further boosted by Curse.

Choice Specs Greninja is an insane wallbreaker, with coverage allowing it to take on a variety of Pokemon such as an opposing Dondozo or Ting-Lu with Grass Knot, Garchomp with Ice Beam, Amoonguss and Clodsire with Extrasensory, and Espathra with Dark Pulse. Toxapex absorbs Toxic Spikes for Dondozo, spreads Toxic, and shrugs off Grass-type attacks such as Flower Trick from Choice Scarf Meowscarada and Grass Knot from Greninja. Gastrodon provides an Electric immunity and it can tank attacks from special attackers such as Flutter Mane; however, it needs to be wary of Energy Ball. Gastrodon can also stack Spikes or set Stealth Rock, wearing down foes for Dondozo. The defensive core of Dondozo, Toxapex, and Gastrodon also gives Water teams opportunities to scout powerful attacks by allowing for each to switch-in for another, such as Dondozo switching in for Gastrodon or Toxapex to tank Chien-Pao's Crunch. Earthquake also allows it to take on Poison- and Electric-type Pokemon such as Clodsire and Sandy Shocks. Quaquaval can remove hazards with Rapid Spin for Dondozo and offensive Quaquaval sets can take on common threats to Water teams such as Greninja after one Aqua Step or Meowscarada after two.
