Alright Boys let's predict some potential base stats, and movesets/roles for each of the new Pokemon. I'll start. Dragonpult will be a special attacker with not as much speed as you would think (around 100-110). It'll have decent bulk.
Potential abilities:
Mega Launcher, levitate and idk what else

Potential moves:
Shadow Ball
New signature Dragon/Ghost Stab
Draco Meteor
Aura Sphere
Shadow Sneak

Special attacker looks about right (140ish), but as you can clearly tell by the arrows on his chest (and the fighter jet model) he's gonna be really fast, easily 130. Ok defense and attack (around 90), with lower special defense and hp (70ish each).

oh you made me get why it's ghost type since those stealth jets are basically "ghosts" in the sky that can't be tracked

I'm still suspicious if this thing is actually going to be all that fast. Stealth bombers and High-altitude reconnaissance planes aren't all that fast when compared to fighter jets, because by design such stealth planes have alternative conflict avoidance systems and aren't expecting any actual dogfighting. In many cases, a stealth plane's max speed is sub-supersonic, so I would think Dracopult here is gonna have kinda middling speed.

There's the clear speed exception of the SR-71 Blackbird, but that's clearly not the direct inspiration here. If anything, Garchomp has a closer design to the Blackbird and other fighter jets, and yet has a base 102 speed. I'm gonna crapshoot something like base 80-ish for the new guy. Hoping for 110 tho

I mean, I doubt they'll do another Dark/Dragon pseudo. They tend to not repeat typings for them, with the exception of Salamence because Dragonite wasn't originally obtainable in Gen 3.
