It knows Iron Tail, Slam, Twister and Dragon Rage
I'm trying to grind it a few levels for the Elite Four but it's squishy as hell, does basically no damage with any of its moves, and takes an eternity to level up

Unfortunately, Dragonair is probably the most annoying pseudo to raise before it evolves. I tried it in Heartgold once and I don't want to hear the words Dragon Rush ever again.
You could replace Dragon Rage with Surf and Slam with Fire Blast or Thunder Wave, but that's about it sadly

Honestly i'd say just don't give it any stab move for the time being, if twister is all you have. Remove dragon rage too as it's useless at this level.
Iron tail and slam are good but very inaccurate. Maybe teach it thunderbolt, flamethrower or ice beam by TM, those wouldn't be going off its higher attacking stat but would still be better than twister and dragon rage.
Dragons were mostly awful before gen 4 unfortunately

Teach it Return if you haven't used the TM already. Alternatively you could dump it in the PC.

I'd catch enough pokemon to get the EXP Share, and use the VS Seeker to fight Black Belts before the Ember Spa on One Island, good EXP yield and the spa heals you. Looking up Rare Candy locations, or grabbing a Meowth for Pick Ups to hope for Rare Candies not a bad idea either.

Dump it into the PC and catch one of the legendary birds

Is this FireRed or LeafGreen? I would recommend getting the game corner prize Dratini. If you get it as soon as you get to Celadon, you can rush it to dragonite by soloing as much of rocket basement, pokémon tower and silph co with it.

For this particular Dragonair, I would suggest farming the rock types in seven island canyon or find a hiker you can rematch and farm him for exp. Route 10 (north of lavender town) has two pokémaniacs that have level 54 marowak & level 54 Slowbro, while other has level 54 lickitung and level 54 rhydon for exp with vs seeker.(though one pokémaniac is at powerplant) You can also try spoofing exp by using the kindle road for primeape/machoke/machamp trainers.

For moves, Wing Attack and Outrage should do fine.Although for Outrage I suggest grabbing a yellow flute (clears confusion) from celadon game corner.

I have a level 50 Dragonair in my elite 4 hall of fame. You can tell I wanted to evolve it into a Dragonite but gave up. It's not very good. The best it could was thunder wave something before it died. I say either evolve it so it can learn... WING ATTACK! or just get something else.

Like all non-gible pseuds it just sucks until you fully evolve it and it takes way too long to evolve to be worth it.

My advice to you is to wait until you learn outrage before evolving it unless you want your Dragonite to take even longer to get a good dragon move. You'll have to spend a shroom to get wing attack since you miss it if you don't evolve it right away but that's so much better than having to wait like 6 more levels to get Outrage.
