What tiny niche did Dragapult have in the format last year and why did it become almost completely irrelevant since then?

1 year ago Dragapult was a good pokemon because it was naturally faster than both Koraidon and Miriadon it could run a mutitude of sets including Choice Specs, Choice Band, Will-O-Wisp hex, Thunder Wave hex, Dragon Dance setup and Choice Scarf to outspeed other Choice Scarfers or Booster Energy pokemon it had a great ability in infiltratior which could help it bypass screens it could also tera for a power boost or a defensive boost it could break stall effectively with so much variety but now it has a huge problem with the addition of Calyrex Shadow. Calyrex Shadow naturally outspeeds non scarf Dragapult therefore Dragapult has to either Tera and lose your tera for the game, switch out and lose momentum, run focus sash and hope that the opposing Calyrex Shadow isnt sash too or run scarf and hope the opposing Calyrex Shadow isnt scarf or sash

TLDR there are actually legendaries in the format now
