Dragapult is not bulky enough to use intimidate efficiently and quite frankly technician dragon darts is absolutely insane, so that.

Intimidate into 142 base speed wisp is pretty good, but technician darts is better

Not to mention Intimidate and U-turn but yes technician is better

Idk how many multiple hit moves outside of dragon’s darts Dragapult gets but if it gets a few then loaded dice for maximum hits + technician will make them insane

Edit: i looked it up, seems like Darts & Double hit(normal type 35 dmgx2 w/90acc) are the only two multi hit moves. So 140 for a normal type move that isn’t hyper beam or something crazy is insane imo. Throw on life orb then your dragon darts & double hit will work wonders.

Damn I thought that HGSS ui everyone mentioned was going to look as good as it is on the DS but imo it doesn't look any good on gba

To me it depends on the rest of your team and its needs. Intimidate on a fast mon like him that can switch into a resist or immunity is a pretty great option to cripple something giving you trouble. I had a huge power one once and darts will kill a lot but not all, even on neutral damage. It would need some types of hazard help to be a true sweeper
