Dragon Dance + Extreme Speed Aerilate Dragonite serves as a powerful offensive threat that can check sweepers like Flutter Mane. Earthquake hits non-Earth Eater Gholdengo and Ice Scales Garganacl, Fire Blast breaks through Avalugg, Ice Beam deals with Hippowdown, Garchomp, and Altaria, and Tera Blast can generally chip neutral Fur Coat users like Iron Hands. Heavy-Duty Boots affords the most longevity, whereas Sharp Beak and Life Orb are better suited for hyper offense teams. Dragonite does tend to struggle to break through bulky Fur Coat walls, so it appreciates powerful wallbreakers like Sheer Force Iron Valiant; in return, Dragonite can use Extreme Speed to cover faster offensive threats. Dragonite also appreciates teammates like Ice Scales Corviknight, which can provide Defog support for non-Heavy Duty Boots variants and defensively handle anti-priority users like Queenly Majesty Poltergeist and Flutter Mane.

Choice Band Aerilate Dragonite serves as a potent offensive cleaner and revenge killer, capitalizing on its priority -ate Speed to threaten fast offensive Pokemon like Flutter Mane and Dragapult. If forgoing recovery, Thunder Punch can help break through Corviknight. For the 4th moveslot, Earthquake is generally best to hit foes like non-Earth Eater Gholdnego and Kingambit, while Fire Blast is an option to break Avalugg and Tera Blast chips neutral Fur Coat users like Hippowdown. This set appreciates Rapid Spin and Defog support from the likes of Corviknight and Iron Treads, respectively, which can also pivot Dragonite into offensive threats it normally couldn't switch into. Dragonite pairs up well with wallbreakers like Sheer Force Iron Valiant to help break through Fur Coat users; in return, Dragonite threatens fast offensive threats with Extreme Speed.
