PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Dragon Attacker:
Dragon Tail
Breaking Swipe - Ghost Attacker:
Astonish
Shadow Ball
When not considering Megas and Shadows, the Pseudo Legendary of Gen 8, Dragapult, is a top-notch Pokémon boasting high DPS but relatively low TDO due to its fragility.
It can gain its signature move, Dragon Darts, from its eventual Community Day, possibly elevating it as a Dragon-type attacker. 🐲
⚔️ Raids
With just a single Fast TM and both Charged Attacks unlocked, Dragapult can double duty as a Dragon and Ghost type attacker. While its damage output is impressive, dodging is absolutely necessary to derive the most out of this Pseudo Legendary given how frail it is. A fine attacker to join Megas and Shadows.
🛡️ Gyms
Low bulk makes Dragapult an easy target for Gym attackers. Also, it has five weaknesses: Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, and Ice; giving the Gym attacker lots of options.
💎 The best PvE moves for Dragapult are: Dragon Tail and Breaking Swipe (Dragon) Astonish and Shadow Ball (Ghost)

Outrage
Before the moveset rebalance of GBL Season 24, Dragapult brought a lot of spice thanks to Breaking Swipe and Shadow Ball. The former was a 35 energy move and gave the frail Dragapult much-needed offense at low energy. Now, with Breaking Swipe nerfed hard to 50 energy, Dragapult is in a tough spot.
Perhaps, Dragon Darts or a new move in a future moveset update would give it much room to breathe in PvP? Only time will tell. Until then, fellow Pseudo Legendary Dragons are better PvP picks.
💎 The best PvP moves for Dragapult are Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe and Shadow Ball.
