L means Dnite loses
W means Dnite wins
S Rank
Mostly L, Dragonite loses to bulky Will-o zard, which is one of/the best Zard X set to run. Phys Def char x has trouble with Special Dnite, but Spdef will o zard x beats it all 4 dragonite variants. However, Rock Tomb can give bulky Char X trouble, leading to a 50/50 (Dragon Dance on the rock tomb, or will o wisp on the z move), thankfully Rock Tomb only has 1/4 usage.
Charizard-Mega
W, although Zard Y can run a strange bulky will o HP ice set to beat nonbulky Dragonite, but thats inconsistent vs bulky dnite
Gyarados-Mega
L, Mold Breaker Outrage/Ice Fang
A+ Rank
Dragonite
Inconsistent for obvious reasons
Magearna
L, resists both stabs, pain split to heal and break multiscale, fairium z. Hardest counter
Metagross-Mega
L, Bulky af and has access to Ice punch for an easy 2hko
A Rank
Landorus-Therian
W, DDance turn one covers every option they can do, and special or special into espeed wins
Porygon-Z
W, although Choice Specs Modest Ice Beam beats no bulk Dnite, but uh, lol choice specs xddd
Tapu Lele
L, Z-reflect beats Physical, just attacking beats special
Zygarde-Complete
Mostly W, defensive beats Flyinium Physical
A- Rank
Greninja
Basically L, you can run a dnite that tanks a specs gren but its not run on ladder (yet lol)
Lopunny-Mega
Basically a 50/50, Dnite loses to ice punch but thats ran 46% of the time
Magnezone
Basically W, discounting Zap Cannon shenanigans
Slowbro-Mega
L
Venusaur-Mega
Mostly W, beats Dragoniun but they need to predict phys or special and run charm
B+ Rank
Aegislash
W, adamant Eq 2hkos, modest fire blast almost always 2hkos
Altaria-Mega
L
Donphan
W, Z into espeed
Gardevoir-Mega
L, Will-O-Wisp 82.295%, you trace Multiscale so you don't even have to run bulky
Genesect
W, only beats no fire coverage dragonium
Golem
W
Jumpluff
L
Meloetta
W
Mew
Mostly W, Dnite tanks fake out into genesis, sets up and kills. You definitely could run a mew that beats dnite, with ice beam fake out max spa modest, but its not run at all rn. Kee Berry can give Mew the edge, but that's not nearly as used as it once was.
Naganadel
Inconsistent, leaning to Naga Dragonite
can live a specs modest draco meteor with 252 hp evs, 70% of the time. Modest Naga beats nonbulky 100% of the time
Primarina
Mostly W, Flyinium will mostly win, unless u miss a hurricane after z hurricane
Tapu Fini
Mostly L, Ddance z-fly will win but everything else will not, albeit z-fly is the most common one
B Rank
Aggron-Mega
L, physical loses to curse, special loses to mburst
Blaziken
W
Chansey
Mostly L Loses to Charm, special loses outright, not impossible for dnite but definitely not reliable
Ferrothorn
W, fire coverage tbh
Garchomp
W, 252 Atk Garchomp Devastating Drake (190 BP) vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 322-381 (83.4 - 98.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Heatran
W, z into eq
Heracross-Mega
Mostly W, speedier variants can outspeed and OHKO with Rock Blast, however most M Hera run bulky
Kartana
W
Kommo-o
W
Mawile-Mega Hard to say. Really depends on the mawile set and the dnite set facing it, bc max hp mawile tanks any hit from unboosted dnite, and then there could possibly involve 50/50s with sucker and espeed, cause play roughs doing 75 min from max hp dnite, and then if dnite doesn't run speed but mawile does it outspeeds anyway. Or mawile can metal burst on an attack. I would say,
Mostly L
Necrozma Stallcrozma wins,
50/50
Pinsir-Mega omae wa mou shindieru
W
Sableye-Mega I believe Sableye would win here, probably can tank special and either mburst or cm recover stall, and will o into foul play to beat physical.

Swampert-Mega
L, can tank and set up vs dnite with curse or yawn it and cheese
Togekiss
Naturally inconsistent. You 2hko with dgleam, but dnite beats u with z into espeed, but they can espeed u if they predict air slash to try and stop a z, and then flinch doesn't always happen (supposedly)
