For the time being, what is a reasonable answer to Aegislash?

Why does dragonite, in those few instances you actually see it in OU, pretty much never run dragon type moves?

How do you guys tend to deal with a lead breloom? The specific set I'm thinking of is: Breloom @ Focus Sash Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Spore - Bullet Seed - Mach Punch - Focus Punch If you happen to match up with a faster Taunt user, things are great...
