On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VIII Generation IX

Dragon Darts (Japanese: ドラゴンアロー Dragon Arrow) is a damage-dealing Dragon-type move introduced in Generation VIII. It is the signature move of Dragapult.

Effect

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: If both Pokémon are immune, does it still try to hit both Pokémon? How does it interact with Pressure? How does it interact with Ally Switch when targeting an ally? Does Ice Face redirect Dragon Darts away from Eiscue? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Dragon Darts deals damage twice.

If targeting an opponent when there are multiple opponents, Dragon Darts deals damage once to the target and once to another opponent. If either the target or its ally would take no damage from Dragon Darts, both strikes are directed at the other Pokémon instead. If one of Dragon Darts' strikes is redirected in order to avert a miss due to accuracy and evasion, this will activate the user's Blunder Policy regardless (even if both strikes successfully hit the other Pokémon).

If an opponent's Pokémon is asserting Pressure, Dragon Darts will expend 2 PP as usual. In battles with two opponents asserting Pressure, Pressure stacks and removes 1 extra PP on execution.

If Dragon Darts is used on Eiscue, Eiscue's Ice Face will absorb one shot. Eiscue will then take damage from the second shot.

The following reasons for taking no damage from Dragon Darts will cause it to target the other Pokémon:

• Type immunity
• Ability-based immunity
• Being protected by a protection move
• Being in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move
• If Dragon Darts would miss due to the user's accuracy or the target's evasion

Description

Games Description SwSh The user attacks twice using Dreepy. If there are two targets, this move hits each target once.
