[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Specs Dragapult is a menacing wallbreaker, being able to threaten many teams with its STAB Shadow Ball and Draco Meteor. The former in particular is very spammable, as only a limited pool of Pokemon can switch into it. U-turn takes advantage of this limited pool, pressuring Shadow Ball switch-ins like Kingambit and Mega Tyranitar while bringing in teammates such as Urshifu-R and Zamazenta. Flamethrower hits Kingambit for massive damage, while Hydro Pump helps against Mega Tyranitar and Ting-Lu. Finally, Thunder pressures would-be checks, such as Toxapex. Ghost is the best Tera type for Dragapult, as it propels its Shadow Ball to a near-unstoppable level, making it even more spammable. Dragon boosts Draco Meteor's damage while making Dragapult less susceptible to Pursuit, while Tera Fairy purely helps it defensively: not only does it not fear Pursuit, but it's also not weak to Ice Shard or Sucker Punch from Weavile and Kingambit, respectively. Finally, it gives Dragapult a Dragon immunity, which allows you to beat Dragon Dance Dragapult after it burns the Z-Move. Dragapult must be wary of Pursuit from Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit, as they can both shrug off multiple Shadow Balls and remove it from the game. However, it can pivot around its checks, so Pokemon that can take advantage of and remove them make great partners, such as Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant. The latter two also share checks with Dragapult, like Clodsire and Toxapex, meaning they can overwhelm these checks. Dragapult also greatly appreciates Knock Off support from Tornadus-T, Weavile, or Ferrothorn, as its checks such as Ting-Lu, Kingambit, and Garganacl all rely a lot on their items. Finally, since checks such as the aforementioned Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit are very susceptible to Spikes, Dragapult appreciates its setters such as Ting-Lu, Ferrothorn, and Gastrodon.

remove pump and thunder and put them in set details, make fire blast -> flame

However, Dragapult must be wary of Pursuit from Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit, as they can both struggle multiples Shadow Balls and remove it from the game.

move this to the bottom, at the checks section, probably merge it with the fighting type line, and u can add valiant to that section too imo (and can add that valiant pressured clod too which is its shared check)
torn > kart on knock users
can mention pivot mons like rotom lando torn to get it in easily since it doesnt have that good defensive utility

rest looks good, gj, 1/2 when implemented
