Dragapult (Japanese: ドラパルト, HepburnDoraparuto) is a Dragon/Ghost-type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Dragapult resembles a draconic Pokémon with a large triangular head. It has a long light blue tail that becomes transparent at the end of the tail. Dragapult also has four hollow horns on its triangular head where it launches Dreepy from the horns. It also has two small arms and feet each with sharp claws, with the hand claws colored in bright pink. Its body is black and has a yellow underbelly with red arrow-shaped markings.

Behavior[]

Dragapult cares for groups of Dreepy. The Dreepy live with Dragapult but they are used as missiles in battle. Dragapult are very protective of their Dreepy, although they tend to be less doting and more in favor of "tough love." Dragapult expect their Dreepy to practice their abilities on their own time, and may threaten to abandon them if they fail to show results. However, most Dragapult would never actually leave behind a helpless Dreepy, and such tactics seem to only serve to scare the Dreepy into working hard. When their Dreepy finally evolve, Dragapult seem to show signs of great pride in their adoptees--though it is unlikely they will express this directly to them.

The faster a Dragapult is, the more respected it is amongst its fellow Dreepy, who desire to be shot by it in supersonic speed.

Natural abilities[]

Dragapult are masters when it comes to both stealth and speed. Their ethereal bodies make no sound as they soar through the sky, while their unique head shape produces lift and helps them achieve high speeds.

When concentrating themselves and clearing their minds enough, Dragapult can make themselves and even the Dreepy inside their horns become invisible.

Evolution[]

It evolves from Drakloak starting at level 60 and is Dreepy's final form.

Pokédex entries[]

  • Sword

    When it isn't battling, it keeps Dreepy in the holes on its horns. Once a fight starts, it launches the Dreepy like supersonic missiles.

  • Shield

    Apparently the Dreepy inside Dragapult's horns eagerly look forward to being launched out at Mach speeds.

  • Scarlet

    Dragapult can make its whole body transparent by clearing its mind and focusing. Even the Dreepy in Dragapult’s horns become invisible.

  • Violet

    The fastest Dragapult of the group is always surrounded by Dreepy that want to fly at sonic speed.

Trivia[]

  • Dragapult has the highest base Speed stat of any Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, while also having the highest Speed stat of all non-legendary Ghost-type Pokémon (142).
    • However, it also has the lowest Special Defense of any Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon (75).
  • Dragapult is the lightest Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon at just 110.2lbs, but at 9'10" , it is also the tallest.
    • However, according to its Bandai Scale World figure, Dragapult is measured from its nose tip to its tail tip.
  • Dragapult shares many similarities with another Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, Hydreigon:
    • Both Pokémon are part Dragon types with a second type that are advantageous against the Psychic type. They also maintain their typings across all 3 stages of evolution.
    • Both Pokémon have 3 heads in one way or another; Dragapult houses 2 Dreepy in the horns on its head, while Hydreigon actually has 3 heads.
    • Neither of them can learn any Fairy-type moves.
    • They have similar stat distributions to each other; average HP and defenses, and high attacks (though Dragapult gears toward Physical Attack, and Hydreigon is geared towards Special Attack). The only difference is that Dragapult has a much higher Speed stat.
    • Their basic forms don't evolve until level 50, while their middle stage evolutions don't evolve until at least level 60 (64 in Zweilous' case).
    • Both Pokémon have more than one type immunity.
      • Unlike Hydreigon however, both of Dragapult's immunities are natural thanks to its part Ghost typing; Hydreigon's Ground immunity only exists because of its Levitate ability.
  • Dragapult is the only Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon with multiple type immunities without the aid of an Ability.
  • Dragapult is not the only Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon to incorporate features of an aircraft into its design, the other is Garchomp; Garchomp's horns resemble a jet fighter's missile pods, while Dragapult's head is shaped like a stealth bomber, specifically a B-2 Spirit.
  • Dragapult is the only Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon that cannot learn Earthquake.

Origin[]

It may be based on a Diplocaulus (an extinct genus of amphibians) which is referenced in its ghostly tail design which not only plays off of its Ghost type, but also references how a full tail fossil has never been found of the Diplocaulus. Its body shape also resembles that of a crocodile. It may also be based on different types of military airplanes or crossbows. Its head shape design and the way it launches Dreepy is probably based on a stealth bomber, most likely the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, possibly referencing its Ghost type again. Its habit of carrying Dreepy on its head may reference the parental behavior of amphibians, who often let their offspring live on their back.

Etymology[]

Dragapult and Doraparuto come from the words "dragon" and "catapult".
