[SET]
name: Bulknite
move 1: Roost
move 2: Thunder - Wave
move 3: Fire Blast
move 4: Earthquake
item: Leftovers
nature: Relaxed
evs: 252 HP / 252 DEF

This thing hurt's whatever will try to switch into it hard. Relaxed is used because base 80 speed isn't the greatest in the world. Ties with Skarmory. This set criples Weavile and most Steal Types that switch in. Most of the time the opponent will be excpecting a DDnite, but this is different. This can survive and Ice Shard from Weavile and hurt it on the switch. Damage Calcs will be coming soon.

The idea behind this set is to have the switch to something that normally would hurt Nite (Weavile/Steel Type.) Fire Blast/T-Wave on the switch, and you'll be able to criple whatever they send out. Roost is there for Recovery. Earthquake is there for T-Vire/other things that normally wall this.

Swampert can be a problem for this.

I hope ya'll can help improve this moveset.
 
EDIT - Yeah I'll have to wait for the damage calcs to really pass judgment, but it seems interesting.

Heck, maybe for item just give it the Ice weakening berry.
 
so your opponent expects a DDNite with outrage and you run a surprise set to destroy them. they send out their physical wall Slowbro and you punish that switch with Fire Blast or just cripple its main asset (speed) with Thunder Wave. as Slowbro tries harmlessly to Ice Beam you, you can just plug away with Earthquake, finishing him in just a few shots. Dragonite's got the power to pull a non-STAB set off, mainly because he doesnt get any good STAB moves to work with in the first place. this set destroys Cresselia equally well, Dragonite's next counter. also, most smogoners love set names like "bluknite." im not gonna use this moveset personally, but i'd love to face it.
 
Needs damage calcs and whatnot to make it pheasable, otherwise its just a mixed Dragonite with an over-simplified defensive ev spread. It doesnt have stab either, which it needs imo.

It just seems like anyones grabbing a pokemon (namely a dragon) and giving it a mix set, a quirky name and saying its the best thing since sliced bread :/.
 
Dunno how effective it would be in practice. It'd still have to really watch out for Ice Beams, and other dragons would force it out if your opponent figured it didn't have any sort of Dragon move.

But yeah, like other people said, needs calcs.
 
I really wish:-
1) People would make the effort to put damage calcs WITH the opening post.
2) Stop using retarded made up names.

Also big problem straight off the mark, this already invites Garchomp in for a pain free setup. That already turns this into nothing except a grasp for attention/publicity. This set is lucky if it can even 3HKO, more likely becoming a 4HKO with EQ.

Also once Gyarados knows its not DD'ing it can switch in for free and walk all over this with Taunt.
 
Hey look, it's a dragonite set that replaces (insert attacking move) with (insert support move).

I'd be less inclined to close these if people were more inclined to include essential things like damage calculations in their first posts.
