Introduction: I've been using this set for a long time and it's been very effective so far. I discovered this set when I grew increasingly disappointed in Flygon and its low attack stat so I looked for a substitute for it with a higher attack stat.
Enter the Dragonite
name: Choice Scarf Dragonite
move 1: Outrage
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Stone Edge
move 4: Fire Punch/Fire Blast/Sleep Talk
item: Choice Scarf
evs: 252 Attack, 180 speed, 78 Hit Points(or spread them out for defenses)
nature: Jolly
Why the set deserves to be on the site:
-It is a very strong, powerful alternative to Choice Scarf Flygon. What it lacks in U-Turn it compensates with in raw power and an equally impressive move pool.
Additional comments:
-With the ev spread listed above, Dragonite out-speeds Aerodactyl, Crobat and Jolteon, the 3 fastest pokemon in the game.
-With the addition of Fire Punch/Fire Blast, even Skarmory and Forretress won't be able to counter it.
-The sleep talk variant is the perfect counter to breloom.
-If you really are running the Fire Punch/Blast set then use those moves in the beginning and then outrage in the later part of the game to sweep.
-If you're running the Fire set then it would be in your best interest to invest the defense/hp evs into its sp.atk.
Teammates and Counters:
-A rapid spinner on your team would be essential as this set is geared toward long-term play and stealth rock is crippling to all flying types.
-If you're running the sleep talk set then a magnezone would be extremely helpful as a partner to Dragonite to wipe out its counters early in the game such as Skarmory or Forretress.
-Counters: Skarmory and Forretress counter the sleep talk variant. A swampert with protect and ice beam completely counters this set.
Other Options: Hidden Power Grass, Aqua Tail, Super Power and Focus Punch should all be considered as alternative moves, as they're super effective against a long list of powerful pokemon.
As always, I thank you for your time and hope you look at this set with complete objectiveness and clarity.
