Equipped with a Choice Band, Dragonite makes for a strong wallbreaker on Dragon teams with its great coverage. With Extreme Speed, Dragonite not only revenge kills weakened threats, but it also serves as a cleaning option against foes that lack the proper physical bulk to deal with it. Earthquake breaks through bulky Poison- and Steel-types such as Toxapex, Alolan Muk, non-Air Balloon Heatran, and Hisuian Goodra. Fire Punch handles Grass- and Ice-types like Amoonguss and Frosmoth, as well as foes that can otherwise ignore Dragonite's other moves like unboosted Corviknight and Skarmory.
Dragonite appreciates entry hazard support from the likes of Archaludon and Garchomp. Additionally, Archaludon's great physical bulk allows it to switch in on physical attackers it easily shrugs off hits from like the Ogerpon formes, Meowscarada, and Kleavor, while Garchomp has to potential to set up and sweep late-game with Swords Dance and Scale Shot. In return, Dragonite handles Volcarona for Archaludon, while Garchomp appreciates the removal of Corviknight and Skarmory. Dragapult with Will-O-Wisp pairs well with Dragonite, as it weakens physical attackers such as Kingambit and Iron Hands so that Dragonite deals with them more easily, and Dragonite removes Alolan Muk for Dragapult in return. Hisuian Goodra makes for a great defensive partner, as with its great special bulk, it shrugs off attacks from the likes of Greninja and Flutter Mane, and it threatens Fairy-types like the aforementioned Flutter Mane. Hisuian Goodra also has access to Knock Off to remove items like Leftovers and Black Sludge from their holders so that Dragonite can threaten them more easily. Choice Scarf Roaring Moon provides great speed control, and with its colorful moveset, it threatens Ghost- and Fairy-types like Dragapult, Spectrier, non-Choice Scarf Flutter Mane, and Iron Valiant and brings Dragonite in safely with U-turn. In return, Roaring Moon appreciates Dragonite handling Bug- and Fighting-types like Scizor, Volcarona, and Okidogi. Choice Scarf Latias is another great form of speed control, as it handles fast Dragon- and Fighting-types like Gouging Fire, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk and it can use Trick to shut down walls like Amoonguss and Skarmory so Dragonite can more easily deal with them. Additionally, it provides Healing Wish support to not only give Dragonite another chance at wallbreaking also restore its Multiscale. Dragonite's wallbreaking opens the door for late-game sweepers such as Dragon Dance Gouging Fire, Calm Mind Raging Bolt, and Calm Mind Latios to set up and start their own sweep.
