Watch out for Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Ghost, Ice-type moves when using Dragapult. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Dragapult's performance.

Dragapult's moves get a damage boost in Fog and Windy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 75,000 Stardust and 75 Candy. With 4 charged moves available, a second move gives Dragapult much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Low Priority
Dragapult ranks #28 as a Dragon-type attacker with a Tier C rating, meaning stronger options are readily available. With a max CP of 3,993 and base stats of 266/170/204, its overall performance in raids falls behind top-tier competitors. Unless Dragapult is a personal favorite or you have surplus Stardust and Candy, your resources are better spent on higher-ranked Dragon-type attackers. Keep one for your collection but skip the power-up investment for now.
