Choice Specs Dragapult functions as a good wallbreaker and anti-offense tool thanks to its combination of a blistering Speed stat, fairly reliable STAB moves in Draco Meteor and Shadow Ball, pivoting thanks to U-turn, and coverage to deal with some of its checks. U-turn allows Dragapult to chip down its few checks in Dark-types like Mega Tyranitar attempting to Pursuit trap it and Ting-Lu attempting to set up entry hazards. Flamethrower punishes pesky Steel-types like Melmetal, Ferrothorn, and Kingambit trying to check Dragapult, while Hydro Pump lets Dragapult deal significantly more damage to its other major checks in Mega Tyranitar, Ting-Lu, and specially defensive Heatran.
Fighting-types like Zamazenta and Swords Dance Iron Valiant are great teammates for Dragapult, as they easily take on the Dark-types that plague Dragapult while appreciating its ability to break through physical walls like Corviknight and Gliscor in exchange. Steel- and Fire-types like Mega Scizor and Volcarona also fit well alongside Dragapult, as they offer a key resistance to Fairy-type moves from the likes of Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Booster Energy Iron Valiant aiming to revenge kill Dragapult. Entry hazards set by the likes of Gliscor, Ferrothorn, and Hisuian Samurott also help Dragapult wallbreak, as they bring its checks like Ting-Lu, Mega Tyranitar, and Kingambit into range of being KOed by a Hydro Pump or Flamethrower, respectively. Great Tusk provides a great entry hazard control option thanks to Rapid Spin, allowing Dragapult to come in more frequently to throw off its attacks while appreciating Dragapult bringing it in on Dark-types thanks to U-turn.
