Dragapult, often called the Stealth Pokemon, was introduced in the Pokemon Sword and Shield games as a powerful, rare monster unique to the Galar region. It’s the final form in the Dreepy evolution line, evolving from Drakloak at level 60. As a Ghost and Dragon type, Dragapult is famous for its incredible speed and strong attacks. However, it’s relatively fragile compared to other powerful Pokemon like Dragonite and Garchomp, making it a high-risk, high-reward fighter. Its special attack, Dragon Darts, involves launching two Dreepy as projectiles to hit multiple opponents.

At its heart, a perp decentralized exchange (DEX) in this DeFi business is like a fancy marketplace where folks trade these things called “perpetual futures contracts”. No expiration dates on these, see? It’s all done with these clever contraptions called “smart contracts” straight from yer own wallet, sometimes with a bit of borrowed boldness – they call it “leverage”.
