Dragonite is one of the most predictable pokemon ever. Literally everyone runs the same Multiscale/Weakness Policy/Dragon Dance/Earthquake/Dragon Claw/Fire Punch setup.

well, flee is clearly not a competitive battler

Never had an online battle. Dragonite is my bby though.
Dragonite is kind of a one-trick-pony, tbh.
He's a dragon who can do dragon, ice, flying, water, fire, thunder, hyperbeam and fighting all in one. Literally the best pokemon in existence.
>hyper beam
Yeah, the one turn recovery is pretty shitty. You can't switch out to avoid it, can you?

Yeah, you can't. Except in Gen I, where if you manage to defeat the target with it, it bypasses the recharge entirely. I'm sure that was just a glitch, though. Gen I was an utter mess.

I take it that moves like that are rarely ever / never used in competitive battling at this point? Solar Beam, Hyper Beam and the likes?

Yeah, Hyper Beam is never used. Solar Beam is only used in conjunction with harsh sunlight. In sunny weather, Solar Beam activates immediately.

Oh, and how could I forget about this mofo with the Swords Dance setup?

Gliscor is ma nigga.

Never used Swords Dance on him though.
toxic orb/poison heal/protect for recovery, sword dance to make his decent attack even better, earthquake for stab, ice fang for coverage.
I love the setup.

My Gliscor currently has Toxic/Substitute/Earthquake/ Knock Off

Knock Off is pretty good sometimes tbh, but I may consider switching it with Swords Dance.

Either that, or raise an offensive Gliscor just to catch my friends off guard because they fucking despise my boy Brando.

I don't know what multiscale or weakness policy is, but Drake pretty much fucked Ash his entire team with a Dragonite knowing thunder, earthquake, hyperbeam and fire blast, so there's that.

Skip to 19:30 for undeniable proof of Dragonite's greatness. But do stop watching before he dies due to Pikachu shitting on his head or something because that's clearly not canon.

If we're going by anime feats, then Swellow is immune to Electric attacks and can harness it as electric super armor.

Basically anything that can do a shit ton of damage and potentially sweep teams (Greninja, Xerneas, Mewtwo, Mega Charizard X, and etc.)
Those pokemon are so basic tho.

If it works, don't fix it.
