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.
