Trivia

• Dragapult has the highest base Speed stat of any Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.

Origin

It maybe based on a diplocaulus (an extinct genus of amphibians) and 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 B-2 Spirit, possibly referencing its Ghost-type. 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.
