As the inevitable Moon suspect approaches, my hottest take is that Dragonite is more banworthy than Roaring Moon. It can do everything that Moon can, but with the added benefits of:
-being impossible to OKO without Icicle Spear Kyurem or Weavile
-being ungrounded
-having +2 priority
-having (arguably) a better defensive typing
-not suffering from 4MSS
-not relying on Tera in order to break
First of all, specs bolt (21% of bolts ran specs this past month) OHKOs with draco, but I won't be nit-picky about that. I don't know that some of your points are necessarily true, mainly the last two. I think that dnite does somewhat suffer from 4MSS, having to choose between EQ, Ice Spinner, ESpeed, and Roost. Even if you use it as a full on sweeper and forgo roost, it can still struggle against tusk even with ice spinner because tusk breaks multiscale with a rapid spin and then outspeeds and KOs with Ice Spinner. This, of course, can be avoided by tera-ing, but then that negates your last point. That's also a good segue into the notion that DNite relies on tera to break less heavily than moon. I have no idea what you're talking about. Moon can routinely break or wear down teams without tera-ing, and I can easily argue that DNite is more of a tera hog than moon. One of the biggest things about moon that makes it so tough, IMO, is that even though it doesn't have too much set variety but messing up on the moveset prediction can lose you the game. It also has so much more immediate power than DNite, and can even do a lot of work against stall with the taunt sets while DNite is useless against stall (except for the loaded dice encore set, which also takes rocks so its not even amazing against stall). Furthermore, the insanely powerful knock off that moon provides is so important it cannot be understated, another thing dnite lacks. For example, neither DNite nor Moon likes attacking into moltres because of potential burn, but moon can at least knock off its boots to force progress while doing damage. DNite takes the burn and is now useless.
There are also other issues with DNite that prevent it from being as broken, and you just only cherry picked the good factors. Firstly, its slow. Considering it typically runs adamant, even at +1, Dragapult outspeeds and wisps. You also get outsped by IVal at +2, and IVal also routinely runs tera ghost which avoids ESpeed. Second of all, which I already touched on, it DOES have 4MSS. Not saying that its terrible or that Moon doesn't, but if you don't run roost than you lack the longevity which it loves. And if you do run roost, than losing either Ice Spinner or EQ means that you cant break a lot of common defensive mons.
It's not that DNite isn't strong- its just not banworthy because it's not problematic. Not nearly as problematic or unhealthy as Moon at least
