Dragonite is a threatening setup sweeper with a high Attack stat, colorful movepool, and good bulk in tandem with Multiscale to further support it. Multiscale enables Dragonite to set up in front of revenge killers such as Mega Diancie, Iron Valiant, and Mega Medicham. Dual Wingbeat provides a good STAB option for Dragonite, while Outrage with Dragonium Z gives Dragonite an immediate, powerful STAB move to eliminate would-be checks like Landorus-T and Mega Tyranitar. Earthquake hits Pokemon like Heatran, Toxapex, and Mega Tyranitar. Ice Spinner lets Dragonite heavily damage Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Zapdos. Fire Punch hits Steel-types that would check Dragonite like Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor for major damage. Tera Steel allows Dragonite to set up on Pokemon that otherwise threaten it, such as Weavile and Tapu Lele, and provides a Toxic immunity. Heavy-Duty Boots prevents entry hazards from deactivating Dragonite's Multiscale. Dragonite fits best on offensive teams, where Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Diancie appreciate Dragonite’s ability to wear down or straight up remove bulkier Pokemon like Heatran, Alomomola, and Iron Crown so they can clean up after Dragonite. In addition, it benefits offensive teams by utilizing its solid defensive utility and typing to check Pokemon like Ogerpon-W and Rillaboom. Dragonite appreciates hazard support to weaken potential checks such as Mega Scizor and Landorus-T, so Pokemon like Heatran, Gliscor, Hisuian Samurott, and Landorus-T also pair well with it. Dragonite also fits well on hyper offense teams with dual screens support from Tapu Koko or Grimmsnarl, where it can safely set up multiple Dragon Dances to lower the risk of being revenge killed by Pokemon like Iron Boulder, Tapu Lele, and Iron Valiant.
