[SET COMMENTS]
* Neutral targets that lose to Dragapult's STAB attacks include non-Speed Booster Energy Iron Bundle, Meowscarada, Donphan, and Rotom-W.
* Fire Blast OHKOes Scizor.
* Hydro Pump is for non-Speed Booster Energy variants of Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Sandy Shocks.
* Thunderbolt is for non-Choice Band Dondozo and Corviknight.
* Clear Body ensures that Dragapult's Special Attack isn't lowered by Bellibolt's Eerie Impulse. Infiltrator lets Dragapult bypass Substitute from Volcarona and Espathra.
* Dragapult should try to avoid possible matchups against faster Pokemon such as Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake, and Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf Meowscarada, as their set versatility is high and potential matchups sometimes won't be in Dragapult's favor.

* Clear Body ensures Dragapult's Special Attack isn't lowered by Bellibolt's Eerie Impulse. Infiltrator pushes past Substitute from Volcarona and Espathra.
* Try to avoid possible matchups against faster Pokemon such as Speed Booster Iron Valiant and Iron Bundle and Choice Scarf Meowscarada as their set versatility is high and sometimes won't be in your favor.

* Fire Blast hits Scizor and non-Choice Scarf and non-SubSeed Meowscarada. 252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Meowscarada: 354-417 (120.8 - 142.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO, maybe add neutral targets for draco / maybe uses for sball (?)
* Hydro Pump is for non-Speed Booster variants of Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Sandy Shocks.
* Thunderbolt hits non-Choice Band Dondozo and Corviknight.
* Clear Body ensures Dragapult's Special Attack isn't lowered by Bellibolt's Eerie Impulse. Infiltrator pushes past Substitute from Volcarona and Espathra.
* Try to avoid possible matchups against faster Pokemon such as Speed Booster Iron Valiant and Iron Bundle walking wake as well and Choice Scarf Meowscarada as their set versatility is high and sometimes won't be in your favor. idk about set versatility for iron valiant + pult still loses if val is slower unless it hits a 6.3% roll with shadow ball, mostly just that these pokemon *can* outspeed and have good type matchups

* Neutral targets that lose to Dragapult's STAB attacks include non-Speed Booster Energy Iron Bundle, Meowscarada, Donphan, and Rotom-Wash.
* Fire Blast hits OHKOes Scizor. (I think this should make sense here?)
* Hydro Pump is for non-Speed Booster Energy variants of Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Sandy Shocks.
* Thunderbolt hits is for non-Choice Band Dondozo and Corviknight.
* Clear Body ensures that Dragapult's Special Attack isn't lowered by Bellibolt's Eerie Impulse. Infiltrator pushes past lets Dragapult bypass Substitute from Volcarona and Espathra.
* Dragapult should try to avoid possible matchups against faster Pokemon such as Speed Booster Energy Walking Wake,(AC) Speed Booster Energy and Iron Bundle,(AC) and Choice Scarf Meowscarada as their set versatility is high and potential matchups sometimes won't be in your Dragapult's favor. (This should make sense, but if not, feel free to make a different change.)
