>>45618487Choice band dragonite was a surprisingly good pick in gen 7 and it's even better this gen with the addition of scale shot and dual wing beat.
DWB, SS, ES, EQ/FP/IP/OUTRAGE
>>45618539Yeah the era of dd sweep ou for dragonite is almost over of course, dd, outrage, es, dwb/eq is still a good sweeping set however more counters give it more and more pressure to succeed making its role more narrow.
But in the era of the defensive pivot with all sorts of means for bringing in dragonite safely and with hdb dragonite is more capable than ever to play team support. Sets like dd, roost, and two moves may lack coverage, and may run jolly lacking power, but has the ability to potentially set up multiple times and be a team support with ground immunity and choice of coverage.
Also the new super conditional sweep option for dragonite is safeguard. Dd, sg, dwb, roost/eq/ss/outrage/ip/fp. I do enjoy the three techs one flying attack set with proper support.
