The problem with sitrus berry in singles is that it is too unreliable on a bulky Pokemon like snorlax, it is essentially a one time use unless you dynamax; go for the normal type move (which ghosts are immune to) and get the 50% to get your berry back. Leftovers is often a better item because you can consistent recovery throughout the turns.
A gluttony snorlax with figy berry wouldn't be that nice either because it would have to give up Thick Fat, which is a very nice ability.
In addition Belly Drum is not a good option on a slow Pokemon like snorlax, which does not have access to trick room. Giving up 50% of your HP (even if you recover 25% from sitrus) leaves you open to revenge kills by so many Pokemon, which just simply outspeed snorlax. If we look at the other Pokemon that get Belly Drum, all of them are quite fast ( Darmanitan-G, Eiscue ...)
Agreed. It works in doubles (especially if you have trick room), but in singles, curse is a far better option, allowing it to get physically bulky on top of its already amazing special bulk... It's unfortunate Snorlax doesn't learn Extremespeed.
It's Blissey, not Chansey. I agree that it really should have toxic and also not get rocks + teleport, though. We'll see what happens. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
On the subject of Blissey (and maybe Chansey)... I feel like Wish + Teleport should be a thing. I know this only leaves two other moveslots (and it doesn't mean softboiled sets should not exist), but that's basically a repeatable healing wish (well, minus the status heal) because of teleport's negative priority.

facade still seems better than strenght which is the only one I'd ever consider out of these. (take down is 90bp 85% accuracy with recoil which isjust bad)
I like Facade overall. Status spreading is very common, and Stoutland acts as a great status absorber that can hit ghosts with facade if it rolls scrappy. The only other option I think would make sense is Retaliate, similarly to what some choice braviary sets get.
Hmm, I feel like dragon dance pult should be a set to be considered. Even though its coverage is only darts + phantom force and some other niche options like sub/iron wing, ghost + dragon is often good enough to pull off a sweep later on. Ghost dragon coverage is perfect coverage after all, and i feel like this set def does have its merits, specs pult just feels too weak imo.
DD Pult was the first set it was given upon its introduction in randbats, IIRC. Quite frankly, I didn't mind it. I also think that the combination of its level + its low base special attack makes it pretty weak on the special side even with specs. It has a lot of trouble getting KO's. However, thanks to its speed, it remains an amazing revenge killer.
The problem with DD, I feel, is, as you seem to imply, phantom force being a weak charging move that can easily be countered. It's a shame it doesn't learn shadow claw, considering it learns dragon claw lol. Or poltergeist, but I feel like that wouldn't fit its lore (not like some pokémon's moves do not respect their lore... but I digress!)
That said, I would all be for exploring new possible movesets for Dragapult. I think a screens set could work (ideally rolling drake + u-turn with the screens) thanks to its amazing speed tier (i know i've voiced my wish to have screen sets on regieleki for the same reason lol). Hex sets (as suggested for OU) would also work for the same reasons.
I support but the addition of flip turn will make CC less common
Yeah, I would love flip turn too, but am worried about CC being less common too. We all know the most OP dynamax combination is being able to boost your offensive stats while being able to boost your speed (flying/fighting, flying/poison, etc.), which Barraskewda can do amazingly well with max knuckle and max geyser (which also even furthers boost its STAB). And in those cases, if you're gonna be locked in a move after dynamaxing, ideally you want to have coverage to not be forced out immediately. I'm torn, really.
