Anyone have thoughts/experience on teaming up Dragapult with Charizard?
I’ve been picking up pieces to build Dragapult/Dusknoir as it has a lot of crossover with my Charizard deck, and I just noticed several people brought a Drag/Charizard deck to the Birmingham regional. (Example: https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/list/15283)
Anyone have experience with it? Is it just using two separate win cons while sharing an ability to find energy? Or is Dragapult more of an alternative draw engine to Pidgeot while also having more offensive use?

The idea gets revisited every now and again, it was a bigger thing before we got sparkling crystal and crispin. The idea initially was that charizard provides energy acceleration to dragapult and is a late game cleaner. Drakalok's draw engine helps also
However, I think with budew entering the format, dragapult dusknoir will be the best way to play the deck. The synergy between dusknoir and dragapult is too good and allows many matchups to be won within 2 attacks. As deckspace for dragapult decks are really tight, and with dusknoir being as broken as it is, there really isn't room for charizard anymore, in my opinion.

That makes a lot of sense.
