Dragapult makes for an excellent sweeper thanks to its neutral coverage with STAB moves, very high Speed stat, and very good Attack stat. Besides hitting most Pokemon in the tier neutrally, Dragon Darts can also break past Focus Sash holders like Ceruledge and Breloom, as well as Dragonite's Multiscale. Pairing it with Phantom Force, or Ghost- or Fairy-type Tera Blast, gives nearly perfect neutral coverage. Substitute stops Sucker Punch from revenge killing Dragapult, blocks status from Pokemon like Rotom-W, and blocks Salt Cure residual damage. Since Dragapult forces many switches, it can find many opportunities to use Substitute and then use Dragon Dance once. With Tera Dragon, its Dragon Darts becomes even harder to switch to, 2HKOing walls like Ting-Lu, Toxapex, Garganacl, and Amoonguss after one Dragon Dance. Tera Ghost grants Dragapult a more reliable Ghost-type STAB move in Ghost-type Tera Blast; unlike Phantom Force, cores like Hatterrne + Roaring Moon can't play around it. Also, Tera Blast does not make contact, improving Dragapult's matchup against Rocky Helmet users such as Corviknight. However, Phantom Force lets Dragapult gain extra longevity from Leftovers. Tera Fairy grants Dragapult an immunity to Dragon, improving its matchups against opposing Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon, Walking Wake, and opposing Dragapult, and it also changes Dragapult's Dark weakness into a resistance, so it no longer fears Sucker Punch. An Adamant nature is standard, but a Jolly nature allows Dragapult to Speed tie opposing positive-nature Dragapult and outspeed +1 Adamant Dragonite.

Dragon Dance Dragapult best fits on offense teams, where other offensive Pokemon can help it sweep more easily late-game. Also, they enjoy Dragapult forcing switches due to its Speed. Fighting-types such as Iron Valiant and Breloom can punch holes early- and mid-game for Dragapult to sweep, as well as checking Dark-types like Kingambit and Ting-Lu, which can cause Dragapult trouble. Iron Valiant also appreciates Dragapult checking Psychic-types that can give it trouble such as Hatterene. Ting-Lu and Great Tusk can set entry hazards for Dragapult and check opposing Dark-types. Dragapult dislikes Unaware Pokemon such as Skeledirge and Dondozo, since they can ignore its Dragon Dance boosts and force it out. Hence, wallbreakers that can check them such as Gholdengo are welcome. Lastly, Dragapult tends to struggle against Pokemon that contest its Dragon Dance with a Defense-boosting move, such as Bulk Up Corviknight, Bulk Up Great Tusk, and Curse Garganacl. Therefore, Pokemon like Ceruledge and Skeledirge to cover Corviknight, Rotom-W to cover Great Tusk, and Covert Cloak Gholdengo to cover Garganacl make for good partners. In return, Dragapult can set up on and check Pokemon they can struggle with, such as Roaring Moon and Walking Wake.

Dragapult makes for an excellent sweeper thanks to its combination of STAB moves, a very high Speed stat, and a very good Attack stat. When Dragault is able to set up once from Dragon Dance, it can be difficult to stop especially in the lategame. (This is kind of implied when you mention how its a sweeper in the first sentence) The choice for Dragapult's 3rd move depends on what Tera type Dragapult is running. Tera Dragon Dragapult uses Phantom Force as its 3rd move, while Tera Ghost and Tera Fairy Dragapult use Tera Blast as its 3rd move. Substitute allows Dragapult to avoid revenge killing attempts from Sucker Punch, and it also gives it access to set Dragon Dance once. (Lots of things to mention here. It blocks status attempts from the likes of Rotom-W, Will-O-Wisp Volcarona, and Toxapex. Most importantly, it abuses Garganacl as Salt Cure doesn't break the Sub) With Tera Dragon, its Dragon Darts becomes even harder to switch to, being able to 2HKO walls like Ting-Lu, Toxapex, Garganacl, and Amoonguss after one Dragon Dance. Tera Ghost grants Dragapult a more reliable Ghost-type STAB in Ghost-type Tera Blast, since unlike Phantom Force, it takes one move to hit turn to use and it does not make contact, improving its matchup against Rocky Helmet users such as Corviknight. (Mention how it eases its match-up against cores that try to play around it such as Fairy-types + Ghost resist, for example Hatterene + Roaring Moon) However, Phantom Force allows Dragapult to gain extra longevity from Leftovers, as well as somewhat avoid status (I understand this but its rather odd. If the Pokemon lives the hit then they can status next turn and go from there. If it doesnt then it might also not live Tera Blast Ghost either. I dont think you have to super justify Phantom Force, the main reason of it being used is to not be dependent on Tera Blast to make progress against Fairy-types). Tera Fairy allows Dragapult to improve grants Dragapult an immunity to Dragon-type attacks, improving its matchups against opposing Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon, Walking Wake, and opposing Dragapult, and it also changes Dragapult's weakness to Dark-types into a resistance, so it no longer fears Sucker Punch. An Adamant nature allows Dragapult to maximize its offensive prowess, but a Jolly nature allows Dragapult to speed tie with opposing positive natured Dragapult and outspeed opposing neutral natured Dragapult. (this is a given. You can instead mention how it outspeeds Adamant Dragonite after a Dragon Dance, if you think its worth doing so)

Optionally you may mention how Dragon Darts is able to OHKO Focus Sash users such as Breelom, Ceruledge, Armarouge, as well as break pass Dragonite´s Multiscale.


Dragon Dance Dragapult best fits on offensive teams, and it pairs well with other offensive Pokemon that can help it sweep easier in the lategame. Fighting-types such as Iron Valiant and Breloom make for good teammates, since they can punch holes in the early- and mid-game for Dragapult to sweep, and they can also check while also checking Dark-types like Kingambit and Ting-Lu that can cause Dragapult trouble. In the case of Iron Valiant, Dragapult can also do the same if Iron Valiant would be the better late-game sweeper. (This is very unclear. You can instead mention that "they break down each others checks", instead of saying X does it for Y, and then that Y also does it for X) Entry hazards from the likes of Ting-Lu and Great Tusk are appreciated by Dragapult, and they also have the ability to check opposing Dark-types. Dragapult dislikes Unaware Pokemon such as Skeledirge and Dondozo, since they can ignore Dragapult's Dragon Dance boosts and force it out. Hence, wallbreakers that can check them such as Great Tusk and Gholdengo for the former and Iron Valiant for the latter are appreciated by Dragapult. (Here is where you can go all in on wallbreakers that check the Unaware Pokemon, instead of repeating Great Tusk and Iron Valiant who you already mentioned above)

Other Pokemon that give DD Dragapult trouble are those able to contest its Atk boosts via their own Defense boosts, such as Bulk Up Corviknight and Great Tusk, or Curse Garganacl, which you can also pressure with the special attackers teammates used to deal with Dondozo. Mention what Dragapult provides for its teammates, such as its amazing Speed forcing switches against most of the offensive metagame and thus finding room to set up.

Fighting-types such as Iron Valiant and Breloom make for good teammates, since they can punch holes in the early- and mid-game for Dragapult to sweep, while also checking Dark-types like Kingambit and Ting-Lu that can cause Dragapult trouble. In the case of Iron Valiant, the two of them can help wear down each other's checks such as Ting-Lu for Dragapult and Hatterene for Iron Valiant. (Try to reword this. Its rather unclear and I am not sure what you mean) Entry hazards from the likes of Ting-Lu and Great Tusk are appreciated by Dragapult, and they also have the ability to check opposing Dark-types. Dragapult dislikes Unaware Pokemon such as Skeledirge and Dondozo, since they can ignore Dragapult's Dragon Dance boosts and force it out. Hence, wallbreakers that can check them such as Gholdengo are appreciated by Dragapult. Lastly, Dragapult tends to struggle against Pokemon that can contest its Dragon Dance with their own defense boosting move such as Bulk Up Corviknight, Bulk Up Great Tusk, and Curse Garganacl, so Pokemon like Ceruledge to cover Corviknight, Rotom-W to cover Great Tusk, and Choice Specs Gholdengo to cover Garganacl (Special wallbreakers in general tend to do a good job against them. If you want to mention specific Pokemon maybe try Covert Cloak for Gholdengo as its more standard. Skeledirge is another one for Corviknight that might be more friendly to mention) make for good partners. In return, Dragapult can set up and check Pokemon they can struggle with such as Roaring Moon and Walking Wake.

Dragapult makes for an excellent sweeper thanks to its combination of STAB moves, a very high Speed stat, and a very good Attack stat. Dragon Darts is an excellent STAB move that hits most Pokemon in the tier neutrally. It can also break Focus Sash from holders like Ceruledge and Breloom, as well as bypass Dragonite's Multiscale. Not confident that 'bypass' is the correct word here. Dragon Darts doesn't really 'bypass' in the same sense that Infiltrator is unaffected by screens, etc. Damage-wise, hitting bulky Dnite with a +1 Darts is doing equivalent damage to Specs Draco Meteor, for example. It may be splitting hairs, but for the sake of clarity, I would suggest a different word/phrasing. The choice for Dragapult's 3rd move depends on what Tera type Dragapult is running. Tera Dragon Dragapult uses Phantom Force as its 3rd move, while Tera Ghost and Tera Fairy Dragapult use Tera Blast as its 3rd move. Substitute allows Dragapult to avoid revenge killing attempts from Sucker Punch, to prevent status from Pokemon like Rotom-W, to block Salt Cure from Garganacl, and it also gives it access to set Dragon Dance once. Whats good about sub imo (aside from all that you mentioned) is that Dragapult naturally forces so many switches, since it has so much set variety. I would re-phrase to explain specifically how sub "gives access to set Dragon Dance once." With Tera Dragon, its Dragon Darts becomes even harder to switch to, being able to 2HKO walls like Ting-Lu, Toxapex, Garganacl, and Amoonguss after one Dragon Dance. Tera Ghost grants Dragapult a more reliable Ghost-type STAB in Ghost-type Tera Blast, since unlike Phantom Force, it takes one turn to use and it does not make contact, improving its matchup against Rocky Helmet users such as Corviknight. It also eases Dragapult's matchups against cores that try to play around it like Hatterrne + Roaring Moon. However, Phantom Force allows Dragapult to gain extra longevity from Leftovers. Tera Fairy grants Dragapult an immunity to Dragon-type attacks, improving its matchups against opposing Dragon-types such as Roaring Moon, Walking Wake, and opposing Dragapult, and it also changes Dragapult's weakness to Dark-types into a resistance, so it no longer fears Sucker Punch. An Adamant nature allows Dragapult to maximize its offensive prowess, but a Jolly nature allows Dragapult to speed tie with opposing positive natured Dragapult and outspeed +1 Adamant Dragonite.
