COUNTER:
Grimmsnarl (M) @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Parting Shot
Its inmune to Draco Meteor and easily tanks anything else. It then can set up screens for team mates, hit with Foul Play or using parting shot to not lose tempo.
Foul Play also easily stops many physical attackers from setting up and hits very hard. I personally prefer it over Taunt.
Foul play in action:
0- Atk Grimmsnarl Foul Play vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragapult: 272-324 (85.8 - 102.2%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
With tera dark it guarantees the OHKO
Biggest possible dmg from specs Dragapult:
252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Grimmsnarl: 107-126 (27.1 - 31.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
Another great counter is max Sp Def Toxapex, but thats a lot more passive and i think we are only allowed one submission per person right? If so feel free to take it and use it or tell me to remove it:
@ Black Sludge / Covert Cloak / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Water / Ghost / Electric / Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf / Chilling Water
- Toxic
- Recover
- Haze
Survives anything, can heal or switch back and threatens with Toxic. While more passive it has the advantage that it can constantly and consistently counter Dragapult and most other special threats thanks to regenerator.
Covert cloak avoids sp def drops and easily handles garganacl, boots is another good option.
Tera type isnt important and is mostly for extremly niche situations.

as a check because it's one of the few checks able to eat a draco and outspeed at the same time. watch out for sucker punch tho
for my counter cause it can eat just about anything from pult and deny it with screens
(I always prefer Black Glasses instead of Boots on my 4 Attacks Chien-Pao to get the guaranteed OHKO on Scarf Gholdengo with Sucker Punch and no Stealth Rock without losing too much bulk. Speaking of Scarf Gholdengo, those Scarf wars are scary and Scarf Great Tusk keeps me up at night, and 
as a check due to her speed, and the surprise factor for it, you cant really enter of course but its a cool mon that brings some utility
as a counter because lmao this guy be bringing a Wigglytuff against a pult AND winning, the most impractical counter, but i apprecieate the outside the box thinking
