[SET COMMENTS]
Sheer Force + Life Orb Dragapult, in addition to being the fastest unboosted threat in the metagame, is one of the few credible mixed attackers, making it great for picking apart Fur Coat + Ice Scales defensive cores. Dragon Rush nails common specially defensive walls like Blissey and Ice Scales Clodsire and Garganacl while Thunderbolt beats bulky Waters like Toxapex. Fire Blast hits Steel-types like Corviknight and Iron Treads, while Will-O-Wisp punishes switch-ins Dragapult cannot reliably overwhelm like Ting-Lu. Dragapult pairs extremely well with pivots like Corviknight, Slither Wing, and Slowking, as they can get it on the field in advantageous positions where it can fire off Shadow Ball. Dragapult does struggle against bulky foes it cannot hit super effectively like Florges, so a secondary, more dedicated wallbreaker like Kingambit or Great Tusk is recommended.
