Timid or Modest Nature for Dragapult?

I am currently raising a competitive Dragapult as a special sweeper with choice specs, but am not sure which nature it should have. I have written its information below.

Is a modest or timid nature generally better for a competitive Dragapult? Thanks in advance!

I thinkModestwould be better, because his speed is a crazy high142,which is outsped by very few. Zeraora outspeeds you by by 1 point, and then again, it might have jolly anyway. As stated by xx_Mythical, Draco Meteor might be a better choice because it will be knocked out pretty quickly anyway. As for an ability, get Infilitrator so you can break through subs. So the set would be:Dragapult@Choice SpecsAbility:InfilitratorNature:ModestEVs:252 Sp.Attack 252 Speed 4 HP•Shadow Ball•Dragon Pulse/Draco Meteor•Fire Blast•Thunderbolt

The Timid Nature is slightly better than the Modest Nature. Since you already have the Choice Specs, you don’t really need to have Dragapult boast more on its Special Attack, so that’s fine, but you may think that Dragapult’s Speed is Overwhelming, but a Leafeon with certain conditions can easily beat Dragapult’s amazing Speed ( and it can 1 hit KO using Knock Off). On Showdown analysis, your Dragapult’s stats are:HP 317Atk 248Def 186Sp.Atk 299 (not counting in the Choice Specs)Sp.Def 187Spd 421Here is the Pokepaste link:Timid or Modest Nature for Dragapult answer
