With the release of Sword & Shield a new item was released allowing us to change the ability of Heal Bell Inner Focus Dragonite from XD: Gale of Darkness to Multiscale, creating this new underrated threat in the current OU metagame.
This Dragonite can be seen used on bulky offensive teams, especially revolving around Magnezone (known as DragMag).
The following spread allows you to maximize bulk and speed while facing a lot of pokemon.
As the spread allows you tank 5 Scale Shots from LO Garchomp and DD in its face, yes ALL 5. And on top of that tank an Adamant CB Dragon Darts from Pult.
252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Scale Shot (5 hits) vs. 12 HP / 40 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 275-320 (84.3 - 98.1%) -- approx. 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Dragapult Dragon Darts (2 hits) vs. 12 HP / 40 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 254-302 (77.9 - 92.6%) -- approx. 2HKO
While the HP and SpD allows you to take some super powerful hits in the tier such as Modest Specs Draco from Dragapult and Ice beam from Modest Nidoking.
252+ SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Ice Beam vs. 12 HP / 52 SpD Multiscale Dragonite: 260-307 (79.7 - 94.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Draco Meteor vs. 12 HP / 52 SpD Multiscale Dragonite: 276-325 (84.6 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Finally the speed allows you to hit 256 which is faster than common Landorus-T, so you can just roost of those stone edges, and at +1 it allows you to outspeed neutral speed Dragapult (383).
Thank you and enjoy.
Edit: If you're wondering why I am not running Earthquake; once again, this set is partnered with Magnezone to trap and remove or chip them in range of Dnite.
