Its story

Appearance

Dragapult is a floating teal salamander with a flat, triangular head like a stealth bomber. Its long ghostly tail fades away at the tip.

Lifestyle

It keeps two Dreepy in its horns and fires them like supersonic missiles. It evolves from Drakloak and can turn invisible by focusing.

In the anime

Leon's Dragapult debuts against a Gigantamax Coalossal, alongside Ash's Pikachu and Gengar. Later it beats Ash's Mega Lucario, then loses to Dragonite.

Name origin

Dragapult may combine dragon and catapult. Its head recalls an extinct amphibian and a stealth bomber, and it launches its young.
