- Hydro Pump / Thunderbolt
[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.
