Dragonite is a very powerful setup sweeper due to its amazing ability, natural bulk, and high Attack stat. It can often turn common threats like Ogerpon-W, Volcarona, Urshifu-R, and Rillaboom into setup fodder. Extreme Speed allows Dragonite to revenge kill sweepers like Nasty Plot Tornadus-T and Iron Valiant. Earthquake hits Rock-types like Garganacl and Glimmora, as well as Steel-types like Heatran and Archaludon. Roost enables Dragonite to active its ability multiple times, which allows it to set up more easily and serve as a long-term check to Ogerpon-W and Volcarona. Ice Spinner is an alternative, mainly for Flying-types like Zapdos and Landorus-T. Outrage with a +1 or +2 Attack boost is almost unstoppable, especially with Dragonium Z, which can OHKO Defensive Zapdos and has a chance to OHKO Alomomola with minor chip at +1. Tera Normal gives Extreme Speed a STAB boost to revenge kill the likes of Iron Valiant and offensive Volcarona, as well as Ogerpon-W and Mega Lopunny with entry hazards on the field. It also removes Dragonite's weakness to common super effective coverage moves like Moonblast, Ice Beam, and Stone Edge. Dragonite appreciates teammates like Mega Diancie and Iron Boulder to weaken the opponent's Flying-types and check fragile revenge killers like Greninja. Dragonite is relatively susceptible to status and Stealth Rock. Even with Heavy-Duty Boots, Dragonite can still benefit a lot if it is paired with teammates like Zapdos and Great Tusk, since they can make Dragonite less concerned about Knock Off. Gliscor and Clefable are both good partners as well because they can absorb Knock Off and status moves.
