Pokemon Go Dragapult: Best moveset for PvP and Raids
Dragapult, one of thebest Dragon-typePokemon in the franchise, is making itsPokemon Godebut, so if you’re looking for the best movesets to take it into battle, here’s what you need to know.
PokemonSword & Shieldintroduced theDragon/Ghost-type Dragapult and it quickly became a fan favorite due to its strong Attack and high Speed, but mostly because of its type combination.
The Dragon/Ghost combo offers Dragapult plenty of resistances, and there’s only one otherPokemonthat shares this typing:the mighty Giratina. So, if you want to see if Dragapult can be as good as Sinnoh’s Legendary in competitive play, here are its best movesets inthe game.
Best moveset for PvP
The best moveset you can teachDragapultforPvP consists of Dragon Tail as a Fast Move and Shadow Ball as a Charged Move.
Out of the two Fast Moves available, Dragon Tail offers way more damage than Hex and for a lot less energy. Plus, the Dragon-type move is even faster than the Ghost-type one.
As for the Charged Move, the smart choice in PvP is to expand the Pokemon’s coverage, so go for Shadow Ball. This is not only a great attack with a very high damage for such a little energy, but it is also the fastest out of the three options.
If you can afford a secondary Charged Move, go with Outrage, as it is one of the best Dragon-type moves in the game, dealing massive damage for only 50 energy.
Best moveset for Raids
Dragapult’s best moveset forRaids is Hex as a Fast Move and Shadow Ball as a Charged Move, with a DPS of 17.70 and 497.6 total damage output.
For Raids – if you have a Pokemon with dual typing – it is usually better to focus just on one to take advantage of the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB).

Due to the combo of Dragon Tail and Dragon Pulse being outclassed, and Dragon-type moves being super effective only against their own, it is better to go with the Ghost type in Dragapult’s case. Plus, the Hex and Shadow Ball moveset also happens to be very good defensively.
