Strategy Overview

In previous years, Dragonite was known as one of the weaker Dragon-types largely outclassed by its fellow Dragon-types, particularly Flygon and Garchomp, which were both faster. But now, thanks to its new ability, Multiscale, Dragonite's bulk has greatly increased, allowing it to hit hard before getting KOed. However, with its 4x weakness to Ice-type moves, the original dragon might have a hard time taking Blizzards, even with the help of Multiscale.
