Dragapult (ドラパルト Doraparuto) 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.
Evolution
It evolves from Drakloak starting at level 60 and is Dreepy's final form.

Trivia
- Dragapult has the highest base Speed stat of any Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon.
Origin
It maybe based on a diplocaulus (an extinct genus of amphibians) and different types of fighting 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 comes from the words dragon and catapult.
