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?

I run what I call Dragazardeot with Pult, zard, and pidgeot. I use grand tree and use it to accelerate my evolutions for pidgeot and pult. I try to set up pult early and then use zard for late game knockouts. Sometimes I have to deal with the hand given though and just use whatever attacker I can set up first. I get more consistency out of it from just pult decks and just zard decks.

I'm a new player with a quick question - if you run Grand Tree does that mean Charizards infernal reign ability doesn't trigger since it's not coming from your hand? If so how do you play around that?

Correct; you can’t use zard’s energy acceleration with grand tree. I do it by preemptively attaching fire to it if I know I’ll evolve it using GT. If not, I’ll use pidgeot search to get the rare candy and zard to evolve and keep energy acceleration.
