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.

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. Shadow Ball is its most consistent attack and forces out numerous threats including Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Gholdengo. Dragon Rush nails common specially defensive walls like Blissey and Ice Scales Clodsire and Garganacl; Fire Blast provides coverage for Steel-types like Corviknight and Iron Treads while Thunderbolt nails bulky Waters like Toxapex. I'd mention Wisp as a possibility over Fire Blast since Ice Scales corv kinda eats fireblast but HATES being burned--also gives you cool utility vs stuff like ting-lu, which can annoyingly lunch Dragon Rush. Also also, uturn is another option that takes chip but lets you bring physical attackers in on predicted switch-ins. Thanks to its amazing Speed tier and ability to switch moves, Dragapult forces out most offensive threats with Shadow Ball and responds to switch-ins with the correct coverage move. It pairs extremely well with pivots like Corviknight, Slither Wing, and Slowking, as they can get it on the field in advantageous positions. DrapultDragapult does struggle against bulky foes it cannot hit super effectively like Florges, so a secondary, more powerful wallbreaker like Kingambit or Great Tusk is recommended.
