Dragonite

Dragonite’s excellent ability in Multiscale and priority move in Extreme Speed are what gives it an edge over other Dragon-types in Battle Spot Singles. This gives it the opportunity to clean teams effectively with the bulk Multiscale provides and the handy priority move Extreme Speed is to finish off weakened Pokemon. Dragonite’s movepool is also notably expansive, so it has a selection of good physical and special moves to use while boasting an outragingly high Attack stat and above average Special Attack stat, respectively. Unlike most Dragon-types similar to Dragonite, it does not need a mega stone to evolve which makes it easier to use for teambuilding purposes. Unfortunately, only having access to 4 move slots really hurts Dragonite’s usefulness as there are many coverage options it’d like to run all at once, and while its Attack stat is very high, it is often outclassed in power to other Dragon-types such as Mega Charizard X and Mega Salamence.

Below are some sample sets. These sets are likely to be standard, but they will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
