Dragapult (Japanese: ドラパルト Dorapult) is a playable Pokémon in Pokémon UNITE. It became available as a playable character on December 29, 2022.

Dragapult is one of the faster Attackers, using its speed and range to rush at unsuspecting opponents and take them out. It has multiple effects that encourage aggression, including a boosted attack that will stay boosted as long as Dragapult attacks opponents continuously, and several ways to reduce its cooldowns to keep the pressure on.

Abilities

Passive Ability

	Clear Body クリアボディ Clear Body
Description Reduces the duration of debuff effects inflicted on the Pokémon.

Basic Attack

	Damage category: Physical (as a basic attack)
	Damage category: Physical (as a boosted attack)
Description Each time this Pokémon deals damage to opposing Pokémon, its boosted basic attack gauge increases. When the boosted basic attack gauge is full, the Pokémon's basic attacks become boosted attacks. Boosted attacks deal increased damage and have an area of effect centered on opposing Pokémon they hit. The boosted basic attack gauge will begin decreasing if this Pokémon does not deal damage to opposing Pokémon for a set amount of time.

Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult all fire purple energy blasts. For Drakloak and Dragapult's boosted attack, the Dreepy riding the Pokémon fire blasts as well, though in gameplay this is all one attack (this means there are two blasts for Drakloak and three blasts for Dragapult.) The boosted attacks are explosive.
