Icicle Spear, does it have a chance to KO Dragonite?
Just 2 Hits only, one breaking Multi Scale and other hitting it. Can anyone give some calculations?

2 hits won't, but they still do more than crash.
252+ Atk Life Orb Mamoswine Icicle Spear (2 hits) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 250-296 (77.1 - 91.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
3 hits ohkos.
252+ Atk Life Orb Mamoswine Icicle Spear (3 hits) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 375-444 (115.7 - 137%) -- guaranteed OHKO
The lead set needs 4 hits to OHKO
252 Atk Mamoswine Icicle Spear (4 hits) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 344-416 (106.1 - 128.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

The calc does that automatically, it halves the first hit then adds the damage from the next hits onto the first one.

I would just like to say that assault vest mamoswine is absolutely amazing, no one expects it, and it gets so many surprise KOs. It's even a crude counter to landorus and thundurus. He can switch in and barely survive a life orb-sheer forced focus blast, and OHKO with ice shard (stealth rocks needed for thundurus)
Lando:
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Mamoswine: 294-346 (81.4 - 95.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
while:
252+ Atk Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Landorus: 316-376 (98.7 - 117.5%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
Thundurus:
252 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Focus Blast vs. 0 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Mamoswine: 239-283 (66.2 - 78.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
but
252+ Atk Mamoswine Ice Shard vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Thundurus: 194-230 (64.6 - 76.6%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
(including Life Orb damage, it kills either way)

Both these guys are S-ranked mons, and VERY common in the current metagame. I think that's pretty sweet. :3

Are freeze dry and knock off compatible on the same set? I'm only asking because as far as I know knock off is a gen 5 tutor move and freeze dry is a brand new gen 6 move.

You just answered your own question. Give it a few months, and things might change.
