Strategy Overview
Dragonite is considered overshadowed by Salamence and, to a lesser extent, Flygon. Thanks to Intimidate, the former can force switches much more easily and takes less damage from physical attacks as he switches in. Meanwhile, the latter has a better defensive typing, with resistances to Rock-type attacks and an immunity to Thunder Wave, which gives him more opportunities to switch in. However, Dragonite packs a serious punch, and has great surprise value. If you manage to bring him in on a Choice-locked Earthquake or a Snorlax's Rest, your opponent will need to play very cautiously.
