name: Choice Band
move 1: Outrage
move 2: Dragon Darts
move 3: Phantom Force
move 4: U-turn
item: Choice Band
ability: Clear Body / Infiltrator
nature: Adamant / Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

* Outrage is Dragapult's strongest move. It can defeat foes like Meowscarada and deal great damage against neutral enemies, such as Arcanine and Bellibolt.
* Dragon Darts handles foes that may use Haban Berry, like Salamence and Garchomp.
* Phantom Force defeats some Ghost-types like Skeledirge.
* U-turn defeats Booster Energy Brute Bonnet, unless it raises Attack with Booster Energy.
* Infiltrator enables Dragapult to win against Espathra.
* Clear Body allows Dragapult to win against stall Azumarill, bulky Salamence, and stall Arcanine.
* Being Adamant enables Dragapult to defeat Air Balloon and Booster Energy Iron Hands, the latter if it raises Attack with Booster Energy.
* If running Jolly, Dragapult can outspeed Booster Energy Iron Bundle if it does not raise its Speed with Booster Energy.
* Usually Dragapult should use its strongest move against the foe, but in the Annihilape matchup, Dragapult can win against some sets if it uses Outrage on the first turn, instead of Phantom Force, and Annihilape uses Bulk Up.

This is not official and is going to be looked over by mods
Overall not bad, could just use some more relevant pokemon included
[SET]
name: Choice Band
move 1: Outrage
move 2: Dragon Darts
move 3: Phantom Force
move 4: U-turn/Giga Impact/Any other notable coverage
item: Choice Band
ability: Clear Body / Infiltrator
nature: Adamant / Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

*Outrage is Dragapult's strongest move. It can defeat foes like Goodra, non-Scarf Garchomp, and Salamence. It can also make a great amount of damage on neutral foes, such as Iron Bundle and Iron Moth. Dondozo and Arcanine. (Doesn't necessarily need to be these two but pult is not beating iron bundle and iron moth isn't the most relevant neutral target.)
*Dragon Darts is used against Substitute users, like Espathra. (Infiltrator already lets Dragapult deal with Substitute. Would be better to mention how darts can hit for full damage against Haban Berry users)
*Phantom Force makes lets Dragapult able to defeat non-Speed Boosted Flutter Mane and Choice Specs Gholdengo. (also notable that Phantom goes through protect, any matchups it helps in?)
*U-turn allows Dragapult to defeat non-Scarf Meowscarada and Wo-Chien.
*Infiltrator enables Dragapult to win against Weakness Policy Gholdengo. ( Dragapult has a 43.8% roll on Gholdengo with adamant, and no player in their right mind would click reflect turn 1) (Infiltrator also attacks through sub, which is a much more applicable scenario)
*Clear Body allows Dragapult to win against some Arcanine sets. (any other notable applications?)
*Dragapult can run Giga Impact as another option for coverage move. (also mention other potential last slot moves/this part could be worded better since normal isn't hitting anything for super-effective damage)
*If Adamant and running Giga Impact, Dragapult can defeat Scarf Sylveon and can win against the Choice Specs set 50% of the time. (Important to note matchups gained with Giga Impact, but Scarf Sylveon is definitely a niche set).
*If Jolly, Dragapult can outspeed Max Speed Flutter Mane. and Choice Scarf Fast Gallade. (Gallade, like Scarf Sylveon is a little niche, would be better to compare speed with more threatening pokemon).
*Due to Dragapult's Counter Immunity it can defeat non Choice Band Donphan. (even with the Counter immunity you do not win against non Choice Band Donphan)
(mentioning matchups that change a lot based on nature could be another point to add)

*Outrage is Dragapult's strongest move. It can defeat foes like Goodra, non-Choice Scarf Garchomp, and Salamence. It can also make deal a great amount of damage on neutral foes, such as Iron Bundle and Iron Moth. (dondozo isnt the best example driplegend but yeah arcanine is fine as one, find one more)
*Dragon Darts is used against Substitute users, like Espathra. (is it a better click versus dragon type pokemon if it kos? (breaks haban)) also espathra isnt the best example, pforce breaks protect infiltrator ignores sub
*Phantom Force makes Dragapult able to defeat non-Speed Booster Energy Flutter Mane and Choice Specs Gholdengo. (can mention the espathra bit here)
*U-turn allows Dragapult to defeat Brute Bonnet and non-Choice Scarf Meowscarada. (you are not winning vs wo chien)
*Infiltrator enables Dragapult to win against Weakness Policy Gholdengo. (as driplegend said you are not winning, give other example)
*Clear Body allows Dragapult to win against Stall Azumarill and some Arcanine sets.
*Dragapult can run Giga Impact as another option for coverage move. (give examples, slash it in the set above)
*If Adamant and running GIga Impact, Dragapult can defeat Scarf Sylveon and can win against the Choice Specs set 50% of the time. (scarf sylv isnt relevant, you can put what matchups do you gain with adamant over jolly instead)
*If Jolly, Dragapult can outspeed non-Speed Booster Energy Flutter Mane and Iron Bundle Max Speed Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Fast Gallade.
*Due to Dragapult's Counter Immunity it can defeat Pokemon like Clodsire and Gastrodon (i might even remove this bit entirely but idk)non Choice Band Donphan.

* Outrage is Dragapult's strongest move. It can defeat foes like Goodra, non-Choice Scarf Garchomp, and Salamence may be best to remove the haban berry users here and combine the 2 sentences. It can also deal a great amount of damage on neutral foes, such as Arcanine and Bellibolt.

* Infiltrator enables Dragapult to win against Espathra.

couldn't think of a neater way to phrase the booster energy stuff that still makes sense to new players, but if you find something nicer than be my guest and use it
