One of the strongest Pokemon from the original 151 Pokedex roster, Dragonite stands out as one of the strongest Pokemon that has ever been created. As a Dragon/Flying type Pokemon, Dragonite has access to a variety of powerful end game moves that many trainers rely on to achieve victory in their battles. In addition, Dragonite can also learn a variety of movesets outside of its type and is able to learn some of the strongest moves in the history of Pokemon games.
Iconic moves such as Ice Beam and Thunder Punch are great powerful moves that not only do a lot of damage, but they also useful status effects that can give Dragonite an extra edge in battle. Meanwhile moves like Roost and Dragon Dance are great moves that buffs Dragonites stats and keep it alive long enough and stands out as super useful and handy in both end game battles and competitive. Which Dragonite moves do you think is the best?
A powerful attack that allows its user to unleash a rampage of thrashes for two to three turns, Outrage is a move that will definitely be useful for trainers who want nothing but consistent high damage output. However they must be weary as the drawback to Outrage is the Confusion status effect that their Pokemon will have after two to three turns.
A strong and reliable ice type move that is similar to Fire Punch and Thunder Punch. The move has a 10% possibility to freeze your opponents and any Pokemon unfortunate enough to be affected and frozen from the attack is sure to feel Dragonite's wrath as it stay there frozen.
Earthquake is a great option for Dragonite (and many other Pokemon) because it's extremely powerful and has great coverage against many types, including Fire, Rock, Poison and Electric. Note that it's weak against Grass and Bug types, and completely ineffective against Flying types.
One of the most iconic Ice type moves throughout the Pokemon games, Ice Beam blasts the foe with an icy beam and has a possibility of freezing the opponent. With a 100% accuracy, it is going to take a strategic move in order for it to miss its target.
A flying type move that heals the user up to 50% of its half health by resting its body. Roost is a great move to use for its healing strength and is one of the best healing moves throughout the Pokemon games so having it in Dragonite's moveset makes essential.
