Mixed offensive Dragapult uses its unique STAB combination and mixed attacking power to break through many common cores while still acting as great speed control for teams due to naturally outspeeding the entire unboosted metagame apart from Deoxys-S. Life Orb gives Dragapult's Shadow Ball an extremely high chance to 2HKO defensive Galarian Slowking. Dragon Darts can 2HKO specially defensive Pokemon such as Blissey and Clodsire. Draco Meteor does large amounts of damage to Pokemon like Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Garganacl that could otherwise stomach Dragapult's attacks; for example, it OHKOes Great Tusk. Fire Blast targets Steel-types such as Kingambit, Iron Treads, Corviknight, and Tinkaton that might otherwise be able to take Dragapult's STAB attacks. Will-O-Wisp can cripple Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Kingambit that might switch into Dragapult's attacks easily; it also defensively helps Dragapult's teammates against Pokemon such as Ogerpon-w. Clear Body can allow Dragapult to completely ignore Sticky Web, Intimidate from Landorus-T, and Parting Shot from Pecharunt, whereas Infiltrator helps Dragapult against dual screens while allowing it to hit Substitute Iron Moth and Enamorus. Tera Dragon boosts the power of both Dragon Darts and Draco Meteor, allowing Dragapult to OHKO Multiscale Dragonite with Dragon Darts as well as OHKO Ogerpon-W and 2HKO Iron Defense Zamazenta with Draco Meteor. It also sheds Dragapult of its Dark weakness, allowing it to take unboosted Kingambit's Sucker Punch from full HP.

Mixed offensive Dragapult fits best on hyper offense and offense teams, which appreciate its high Speed and wallbreaking prowess. Dark-types such as Kingambit and Darkrai appreciate Dragapult's power while also being able to take on Pokemon that might be able to revenge kill Dragapult like Choice Scarf Gholdengo and opposing Kingambit. Gholdengo and Kingambit can help against Clefable, Tera Fairy Garganacl, and Toxapex, which can stomach Dragapult's attacks, and in return, they appreciate Dragapult's ability to threaten the likes of Cinderace and Great Tusk. Gholdengo in particular can also stomach Moonblast from Enamorus and Iron Valiant that try to revenge kill Dragapult. Entry hazard setters such as Ting-Lu, Glimmora, and Landorus-T are great partners for Dragapult, as the damage from hazards can chip common answers into KO range of its attacks. Dragapult struggles immensely with entry hazards, as they further cut into its limited longevity; as a result, hazard removal options like Iron Treads, Great Tusk, and Glimmora pair nicely with it, allowing it to get in more often in order to wallbreak. Pokemon that can take on Ting-Lu such as Ogerpon-W and Zamazenta are incredibly valuable for Dragapult, as Ting-Lu otherwise hard walls this set. Ogerpon-W can also help take on Assault Vest Alomomola, Primarina, and Garganacl, while Dragapult in return can help take on Dragonite, Raging Bolt, Kyurem, and Pecharunt, which trouble Ogerpon-W. Pokemon such as Hisuian Samurott and non-Dazzling Gleam Iron Moth that can struggle with Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Dragonite immensely appreciate Dragapult threatening them. Iron Valiant is an excellent partner for Dragapult, as it can not only weaken Ting-Lu but can also take on Kingambit, Hisuian Samurott, and Weavile, which may try to revenge kill Dragapult with their priority moves. In return, Dragapult can take on Pokemon such as Galarian Slowking, Gholdengo, and Moltres that might wall Iron Valiant.

Mixed Offensive Dragapult uses its unique STAB combination and powerful mixed attacking power to break through many common cores, while still acting as great speed control for teams. With Life Orb, it can hit hard on both sides of the spectrum while being able to switch up moves at the cost of a little bit of HP. While STAB moves arent usually explained, its worth doing so here since you have 2 Dragon moves Fire Blast directly hits Steel-types such as Kingambit, Iron Treads, and Tinkaton that might otherwise be able to take Dragapult's STAB attacks. Will-O-Wisp can ruin Pokemon such as Ting-Lu that might switch into its attacks easily, and defensively help Dragapult's teammates against Pokemon such as Ogerpon Wellspring. U-turn can not only help chip down common answers such as Kingambit and Ting-Lu, but it can also allow Dragapult to get in teammates safely. (I would actively avoid recommending this) Clear Body can allow Dragapult to completely ignore Sticky Webs speed drop, Intimidate from Landorus-T and Parting Shot from Pecharunt. Infiltrator helps Dragapult against dual screens while allowing it to hit Substitute Iron Moth and Enamorus. Tera Dragon boosts the power of both Dragon Darts and Draco Meteor, (You OHKO Dragonite with Darts and Ogerpon-W with Draco. Benchmarks like that are worth including) while also shedding Dragapult of its Dark- and Ghost- weakness, allowing it to take Kingambit's Sucker Punch from full easily.

Mixed Offensive Dragapult fits best on hyper offense and offense teams, who appreciate its fast speed and wallbreaking. Dark-types such as Kingambit and Darkrai appreciate Dragapult's wallbreaking power while also being able to take on Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gholdego and opposing Kingambit that might be able revenge kill Dragapult. Hazard setters such as Ting Lu and Landorus-T are great partners for Dragapult, as the damage from hazards can chip common answers in range to its attacks. Knock Off users such as Weavile and Tinkaton can help make progress against bulkier teams while wearing down shared checks such as Kingambit. Dragapult struggles immensely with entry hazards, as it further cuts into its limited longevity. Entry hazard removal options such as Iron Treads, Great Tusk and Cinderace pair nicely with Dragapult, allowing it to get in more often in order to wallbreak. Speed control Pokemon such as Dragonite and Weavile can help against the faster Choice Scarf or Booster Speed Pokemon such as Iron Valiant and Darkrai. (This doesnt make much sense, Weavile doesnt like either, you are faster than Darkrai, Dragonite isnt that kind of speed control, etc) Dragapult can sometimes struggle to switch into attacks as between its Naive nature and limited longevity due to Life Orb, it cannot take too many hits. Therefore, slow pivots such as Landorus-T and Alomomola pair beautifully with Dragapult, as they can safely get it in so Dragapult can start wallbreaking. (Alomomola doesnt fit very well on these kinds of teams. I would remove this part tbh, the idea of how to play around Dragapult's offensive checks is hard to convey since its just more offense)

This set struggles a ton with Ting-Lu, AV Alomomola, and Garganacl, make sure to mention Pokemon that can handle them. Ogerpon-W is great at this and appreciates Dragapult taking on Pecharunt, Dragonite, etc. Clefable and Toxapex are also rather annoying, maybe you can add them in the part about Gholdengo and Kingambit if you change the wording. Maybe they themselves can help against Iron Valiant and Choice Scarf Enamorus and Iron Valiant that are other pair of Pokemon that try to revenge Dragapult)

With Life Orb, it can hit hard on both sides of the spectrum while being able to switch up moves at the cost of a little bit of HP. Dragon Darts can hit specially defensive Pokemon such as Assault Vest Hisuian Samurott, (Draco does more) Blissey and Clodsire, while also allowing it to reliably break through Dragonite's Multiscale. (Consider removing this, you do weaken Dragonite a bit more but you dont OHKO it without Tera) (Part of the appeal of Darts is that you get to hit stuff without risking misses or dropping your special attack. If you can convey this idea that would be great as its important to highlight the positive aspects of a move, and hitting Blissey and Clodsire alone isnt a stellar mention) Draco Meteor hits Pokemon such as Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Garganacl that could otherwise stomach Dragapult's attacks for large damage. (Something that highlights Draco's power would be great, but the sentence is okay as it is) Fire Blast directly hits Steel-types such as Kingambit, Iron Treads, and Tinkaton that might otherwise be able to take Dragapult's STAB attacks. Will-O-Wisp can ruin Pokemon such as Ting-Lu that might switch into its attacks easily, and defensively help Dragapult's teammates against Pokemon such as Ogerpon Wellspring. Clear Body can allow Dragapult to completely ignore Sticky Webs speed drop, Intimidate from Landorus-T and Parting Shot from Pecharunt. Infiltrator helps Dragapult against dual screens while allowing it to hit Substitute Iron Moth and Enamorus. Tera Dragon boosts the power of both Dragon Darts and Draco Meteor, allowing Dragapult to OHKO Dragonite with Dragon Darts while OHHKO'ing Ogerpon Wellspring with Draco Metoer. It also sheds Dragapult of its Dark- and Ghost- weakness, (Since you mention its Ghost weakness and not only its Dark one, mention an example of something you live like opposing Gholdengo's Shadow Ball. Though Make It Rain is a roll to kill, focusing on only the Sucker Punch weakness is probably okay, you can decide) allowing it to take Kingambit's Sucker Punch from full easily.

Mixed Offensive Dragapult fits best on hyper offense and offense teams, who appreciate its fast speed and wallbreaking. Dark-types such as Kingambit and Darkrai appreciate Dragapult's wallbreaking power while also being able to take on Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gholdego and opposing Kingambit that might be able revenge kill Dragapult. Steel-types such as Gholdengo and Kingambit can help against Fairy-types such as Clefable and Primarina by switching into there attacks, while helping deal with Toxapex and Gliscor that could potentially Toxic Dragapult. (I would rather mention Toxapex and Gliscor in a different way, they dont need to Toxic. Gliscor can just click Knock Off, stall out Life Orb chip, Earthquake you, Pex can just spam Recover. The Fairies mention is also pretty questionable as well since neither Kingambit or Gholdengo likes to switch into Primarina, they are both likely to lose if they do so. Maybe just "Gholdengo and Kingambit can help against Clefable, Tera Fairy Garganacl, and Toxapex that can stomach Dragapult's attacks, while in return they appreciate Dragapult's ability to threaten the likes of Cinderace and Great Tusk. Gholdengo in particular can also stomach Enamorus and Iron Valiant's Moonblast that try to revenge kill Dragapult.") Hazard setters such as Ting Lu, Glimmora, and Landorus-T are great partners for Dragapult, as the damage from hazards can chip common answers in range to its attacks. Knock Off users such as Weavile and Tinkaton can help make progress against bulkier teams while wearing down shared checks such as Kingambit. (Not particularly relevant, I would move it almost at the end of the paragraph. Make sure to explain what do you mean with "make progress against bulkier teams" since readers may not be aware of what this means) Dragapult struggles immensely with entry hazards, as it further cuts into its limited longevity. Entry hazard removal options such as Iron Treads, Great Tusk and Cinderace pair nicely with Dragapult, allowing it to get in more often in order to wallbreak. (Not particularly relevant, I would either remove or put it at the very end of the paragraph) Pokemon such as Ogerpon Wellspring and Zamazenta that can take on Ting Lu are incredibly valuable for Dragapult, as it otherwise hard walls this set. Ogerpon Wellspring can also help take on AV Alomomola, Primarina, and Garganacl, while Dragapult in return can help take on Dragonite, Raging Bolt, Kyurem, and Pecharunt that hard wall trouble (the matchups arent as bad as) Ogerpon Wellspring. (Iron Valiant is another partner that can weaken Ting-Lu, as well as Kingambit, Hisuian Samurott, and Weavile that may try to revenge kill Dragapult with their priority moves)

Mixed Offensive Dragapult uses its unique STAB combination and powerful mixed attacking power to break through many common cores, while still acting as great speed control for teams. honestly you could probably emphasize its speed even more - it's the second-fastest relevant mon without a boost, period, and outspeeds other typical speed control mons With Life Orb, it can hit hard on both sides of the spectrum while being able to switch up moves at the cost of a little bit of HP. this is dex info, you can just mention that LO allows you to hit breakpoints like the tusk draco OHKO and the blissey darts 2HKO. Dragon Darts can hit specially defensive Pokemon such as Blissey and Clodsire. Draco Meteor hits Pokemon such as Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Garganacl that could otherwise stomach Dragapult's attacks for large damage, such as allowing Dragapult to OHKO Great Tusk with Draco Meteor. Fire Blast directly hits Steel-types such as Kingambit, Iron Treads, and Tinkaton that might otherwise be able to take Dragapult's STAB attacks. you should provide more specific calcs for some of these, at least one per move. i mentioned darts 2HKO blissey and you got the tusk draco OHKO. shadow ball, which is not mentioned at all here, is a 95% 2HKO on smogdex glowking. fire blast you probably don't need as many specific calcs because you're running it to hit steels properly at all, but it also 2HKOs corviknight Will-O-Wisp can ruin Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Kingambit that might switch into its attacks easily, and defensively help Dragapult's teammates against Pokemon such as Ogerpon Wellspring. Clear Body can allow Dragapult to completely ignore Sticky Webs speed drop, Intimidate from Landorus-T and Parting Shot from Pecharunt. Infiltrator helps Dragapult against dual screens while allowing it to hit Substitute Iron Moth and Enamorus. Tera Dragon boosts the power of both Dragon Darts and Draco Meteor, allowing Dragapult to OHKO Dragonite with Dragon Darts while OHHKO'ing Ogerpon Wellspring with Draco Metoer. tera dragon draco also notably gets you to a 2HKO against leftovers id/press zama It also sheds Dragapult of its Dark- weakness, allowing it to take Kingambit's unboosted Sucker Punch from full easily. adamant black glasses is ridiculous and starts killing at fallen 4. the loss of dark weakness also lets you live gliscor +2 uninvested facade. tera dragon also removes your ghost weakness, you live gholdengo's shadow ball

Hazard setters such as Ting Lu, Glimmora, and Landorus-T are great partners for Dragapult, as the damage from hazards can chip common answers in range to its attacks. Dragapult struggles immensely with entry hazards, as it further cuts into its limited longevity. in this vein you could also recommend tusk/treads/glimmora for removal if your team isn't comfortable with no removal/doesn't play ridiculously fast Pokemon such as Ogerpon Wellspring and Zamazenta that can take on Ting Lu are incredibly valuable for Dragapult, as it otherwise hard walls this set. Ogerpon Wellspring can also help take on AV Alomomola, Primarina, and Garganacl, while Dragapult in return can help take on Dragonite, Raging Bolt, Kyurem, and Pecharunt that trouble Ogerpon Wellspring. this pult set threatening other dragons is also relevant for stuff like, say, gleam-less iron moth or samurott Iron Valiant is an excellent partner for Dragapult, as it can not only weaken Ting-Lu for Dragapult, but it can also take on Kingambit, Hisuian Samurott and Weavile that may try to revenge kill Dragapult with their priority moves. In return, Dragapult can take on Pokemon such as Galarian Slowking, Gholdengo and Moltres that might wall Iron Valiant. Knock Off users such as Weavile and Tinkaton can help make progress against bulkier teams by removing items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers from Pokemon such as Corviknight and Ting Lu, while wearing down shared checks such as Kingambit. mentioning knock to remove specifically HDB here is like 2 degrees of abstraction from what this mon actually does and can probably be removed. i'll also contend that neither weavile nor tink are particularly popular teammates to this pult set on HO either, at least from what i've seen - feel free to link me some stuff if i'm wrong
