Dragon Dance gives Dragapult the ability to not just boost its fantastic Speed to new heights, allowing it to outspeed fast Choice Scarf users such as Meowscarada and Roaring Moon, but also beef up its decent Attack stat. Dragon Darts is a reliable, hard-hitting Dragon-type STAB move that allows Dragapult to break Breloom's Focus Sash and Dragonite's Multiscale. Phantom Force is Dragapult's best choice for Ghost-tpye STAB move, as otherwise it is walled by any Fairy- or Steel-type, while Disable can disrupt Choice-locked Pokemon from potentially breaking its Substitute or attacking Dragapult in general. Substitute allows Dragapult to ease prediction and also adds a layer of protection against status moves, allowing it to set up on more passive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Amoonguss. It also synergizes well with Disable, allowing Dragapult to set up with ease. Will-O-Wisp is another option over Disable to allow Clodsire and Quagsire to become setup bait, while also crippling Kingambit and Ting-Lu; however, Disable is more consistent. Leftovers allows Dragapult to use Substitute multiple times throughout a game and be more annoying overall with Disable, while Dragon Fang is a good choice to boost Dragon Darts.

Skeledirge is a fantastic partner, as it can wall Fairy-types such as Choice Scarf Iron Valiant and Hatterene while also threatening foes like Kingambit that can easily take out Dragapult with their STAB priority moves. Gholdengo is another fantastic partner that can threaten Fairy-types like Klefki and Flutter Mane, if Gholdengo uses a Choice Scarf, and take care of physical walls such as opposing Skeledirge. Brambleghast is another good partner, as it can keep entry hazards off of the field, allowing Dragapult to come in multiple times, as well as providing Spikes support to soften up Steel-types such as Gholdengo and Iron Treads. Hisuian Zoroark provides the team with not just a Ghost immunity, but also can easily use Illusion to disguise itself as Dragapult and lure in foes that would normally threaten it, such as Kingambit, Chien-Pao, and opposing Dragapult, to open up for a potential Dragapult sweep. Flutter Mane is another great partner thanks to its ability to handle opposing Dragon-types such as Baxcalibur, Roaring Moon, and Walking Wake. It can also provide immediate speed control if need be to take care of other Choice Scarf users that could revenge kill Dragapult before it gets a Dragon Dance up. Mimikyu is an amazing wallbreaker that can either help wear down physical walls for Dragapult to clean up or can take advantage of Dragapult punching holes in the opponent's team to clean up itself. Mimikyu can also heavily threaten opposing Ghost-types for Dragapult like Choice Scarf Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Choice Scarf Gholdengo thanks to its STAB priority in Shadow Sneak. It also provides a one-time check to setup sweepers such as Chien-Pao and Kingambit thanks to its ability Disguise.

Dragon Dance gives Dragapult the ability to not just boost its fantastic Speed to new heights, allowing it to outspeed Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Meowscarada, but also beef up its decent Attack stat. Dragon Darts is a reliable, hard-hitting Dragon STAB move that allows Dragapult to break things like Breloom's Focus Sash or Dragonite's Multiscale. Phantom Force is Dragapult's best choice for a Ghost STAB while Disable can neuter supereffective moves such as Kingambit's Sucker Punch (Kingambit would just use Kowtow Kleave) or Mimikyu's Shadow Sneak if timed appropriately (Mention some Pokemon that will wall Dragapult if it doesn't use Phantom Force). Substitute allows Dragapult to ease prediction against things that have supereffective priority such as Chien Pao, Kingambit, and Mimikyu (These are all odd examples as Chien-Pao outpaces Dragapult in the first place, Kingambit walls it, and Mimikyu has Shadow Sneak which hits you before the Substitute), while also adding a layer of protection against status moves (Mention how it allows Dragapult to setup on passive Pokemon like Amoonguss and Toxapex). Dragon Fang is the item of choice to boost Dragapult's Dragon STAB while Leftovers provide passive recovery, allowing for potentially more Substitutes.

Skeledirge is a fantastic partner as it can wall Fairy-types such as Iron Valiant (Specify Choice Scarf as Choice Specs 2HKOs with Shadow Ball) and Hatterene while also threatening things like Chien-Pao and Kingambit that can easily take out Dragapult with their STAB priority. Gholdengo is another fantastic partner that can threaten Fairy-types like Klefki and Flutter Mane if it's using a Choice Scarf and take care of physical walls such as opposing Skeledirge. Brambleghast is another good partner as it can keep entry hazards off of the field, allowing Dragapult to come in multiple times, as well as providing Spikes support to soften up Steel-types such as Klefki and Kingambit. Hisuian Zoroark provides the team with not just a Ghost immunity but also can easily Illusion itself as Dragapult and lure in things that normally wall (List some examples) it to open up for a potential Dragapult sweep. Flutter Mane is another great partner thanks to its ability to handle opposing Dragon-types such as Baxcalibur, Roaring Moon, and Walking Wake. It can also provide immediate Speed control if need be to take care of other Choice Scarf users that could revenge Dragaoult before it gets a Dragon Dance up. Mimikyu is an amazing wallbreaker that can either help wear down physical walls for Dragapult to clean up or can take advantage of Dragapult punching holes in the opponent to clean up itself. (Mimikyu can heavily threaten opposing Ghost-types like Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Gholdengo with Shadow Sneak)

Dragon Dance gives Dragapult the ability to not just boost its fantastic Speed to new heights, allowing it to outspeed Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Flutter Mane (Scarf Mane is pretty odd, since its still a 2 turn charge attack, meaning its a little baitable/Ghost can just swap Horo and Flutt around until it gets pp stalled) and Choice Scarf Meowscarada, but also beef up its decent Attack stat. Dragon Darts is a reliable, hard-hitting Dragon STAB move that allows Dragapult to break things (Pokemon arent things, maybe just "beat"?) like Breloom's Focus Sash or Dragonite's Multiscale. Phantom Force is Dragapult's best choice for a Ghost STAB as otherwise it is walled by Pokemon such as any Fairy- or Steel-type while Disable can neuter supereffective moves such as Mimikyu's Shadow Sneak if timed appropriately.(its more of bullying scarfers/choice locked mons which come in to break you sub that you dont do much against, like Scarf Iron Valiant [funny interaction], Scarf Iron Treads, etc.) Substitute allows Dragapult to ease prediction and also adds a layer of protection against status moves (this also enables the use of disable) , allowing it to setup on more passive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Amoonguss. (Mention Will-o-wisp too, making Quagsire and Clodsire setup food since they cant break sub anymore, while still being useful in case of switchins like Kingambit and Ting-Lu. Its generally worse than disable tho) Dragon Fang is the item of choice to boost Dragapult's Dragon STAB while Leftovers provide passive recovery, allowing for potentially more Substitutes (preferred more than Dragon Fang, as it enables that disable set, allowing you to sub multiple times to be annoying).

Skeledirge is a fantastic partner as it can wall Fairy-types such as Choice Scarf Iron Valiant and Hatterene while also threatening things like Chien-Pao (Skele usually dies to check Pao, remove pao for some other setupper imo) and Kingambit that can easily take out Dragapult with their STAB priority. Gholdengo is another fantastic partner that can threaten Fairy-types like Klefki and Flutter Mane, if it's using a Choice Scarf, and take care of physical walls such as opposing Skeledirge. Brambleghast is another good partner as it can keep entry hazards off of the field, allowing Dragapult to come in multiple times, as well as providing Spikes support to soften up Steel-types such as Klefki and Kingambit (pick diff examples since both should almost always beat dd pult). Hisuian Zoroark provides the team with not just a Ghost immunity but also can easily Illusion itself as Dragapult and lure in things that normally threaten it such as Kingambit, Mimikyu (Mimi has disguise, which means that it would rather click PR over Shadow sneak in that case, making it a poor example), and opposing Dragapult (wont they just click a draco if ever? But this isnt as bad of an example as mimi) to open up for a potential Dragapult sweep. Flutter Mane is another great partner thanks to its ability to handle opposing Dragon-types such as Baxcalibur, Roaring Moon, and Walking Wake. It can also provide immediate Speed control if need be to take care of other Choice Scarf users that could revenge Dragaoult before it gets a Dragon Dance up. Mimikyu is an amazing wallbreaker that can either help wear down physical walls for Dragapult to clean up or can take advantage of Dragapult punching holes in the opponent to clean up itself. Mimikyu can also heavily threaten opposing Ghost-types for Dragapult like Choice Scarf Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Choice Scarf Gholdengo thanks to Shadow Sneak. (would be a blanket check to Pao and Kingambit and a lot in general, tbh)

notes for amcheck

Dead by Daylight
- Dragon-type STAB move, not just Dragon STAB move
- "Things" is too causal/vague, make sure to be specific in what's being referred to
- Don't forget to mark comma changes with AC and RC because they can be hard to see and easily missed. Don't let your work get overlooked!
- Setup is the verb (setup move, setup sweeper), while set up is the verb (It can set up on a foe with Dragon Dance)
- Don't refer to a Pokemon as "you," use its name or "it"
- Will-O-Wisp, not Will-o-Wisp
- Commas before "and" "but "or" are only needed when both clauses are independent (they make sense as a full sentence on their own without the other part). If only one is independent, a comma is not needed
- The term "speed control" is not capitalised
- Revenge kill, not just revenge
