Unlike Azumarill, Dragonite has some interesting aspects with Multiscale and his movepool, allowing it to adjust its coverage and thus, fit in a lot of different teams. By the way, the Dragon Dance set isn't the only viable one although it's the most dangerous one, and that, makes Dragonite a lot less predictable than Azu.<br/> Its only flaw is called Stealth Rock obviously, but I don't think that the meta is in a lack of reliable spinners.

However, as you said, it clearly suffers from 4MSS so it cannot run everything. I see 3 majors sets for it : the obvious dragon dance set, the mixed rain attacker and the special/mixed lure set. On the DD set, let's say that Dragon dance and Dragon claw for stab are mandatory. So it must use T-Punch to have a small chance to break through threats such as Skarmory, Azumarill or Slowbro and it clearly lose to Hippowdon/Gliscor without Aqua tail. But it has also to find room for Superpower to beat Ferrothorn/Tyranitar, Roost for recovery, Iron head for fairies or E-Speed for priority. So depending of the set it is running, there will always be some defensive benemoth it cannot defeat alone, not to mention it is heavily crippled by every form of statut and stealth rock which break multiscale.<br/> <br/> The mixed set with Flamethrower/Icebeam is indeed powerful and good at luring its common checks (not the rain one, everyone will expect Thunder/Hurricane once rain is set up) but lacks speed so Dragonite will be easily forced out by everything faster once Multiscale is broken. So I think A+ is good for him atm (it may be the best A+). With Life orb eventually implemented, it will raise to S with more firepower under its belt</r> [glow=green]Katie Ledecky doesn't break records, she sets them[/glow] [glow=green]~L'élégance, la science, la violence~[/glow]<i></i> Link to comment https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/11841-pro-viability-rankings-pvp/page/8/#findComment-94011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
