Revenge Killing Dragonite?

Nameless

Okay, so I saw the thread about the 'Double Dragon' moveset, and it got me thinking, what else can Dragonite do that's fairly unique?

Well, anybody think this works for a Choice Scarf'ed Revenge Killer?...

name: Choice Scarf Revenge Killer
move 1: Outrage
move 2: Flamethrower
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Ice Beam
item: Choice Scarf
nature: Naive
evs: 252 ATK / 6 SPATK / 252 SPD

This generates a 367 ATK for Outrage, a 237 SPATK for your other offense, and gives you a nice 426 SPD to work off of; and it's accurate to boot!

The Outrage here works off the ATK which is only 27 points lower then an Adamant Garchomps ATK score, and while slightly slower the SPATK is 60 points higher for your mixxed revenge kills.

Anybody else think this is pretty workable?

Cause it looks good to me, but as I've said before, I'm not an expert or anything, and it seemed like a nice idea.

Of course there is also the issue of Earthquake not getting STAB, but this set isn't resisted by anything that I'm aware of.
 
It is idiotic to talk about "no resists" to a set of 4 moves on a Choice pokemon. Choice Pokemon can't switch moves and rely entirely on prediction. Boltbeam only works if you can alternate the two. Having a Specs pokemon with Ice Beam and Thunderbolt is meaningless if your opponent switches in the right type.
 
And this is special because?

Jumping onto the bandwagon with a generic scarf sweeper isn't exactly my idea of a groundbreaking different set. If anything it shows how little thought was put into the set since it does nothing in particular and looks like a mishmesh of moves with a random item added on.
 
Choice Scarf + X pokemon = Revenge Killer.

Do what works for you, just don't make a thread about it if it isn't revolutionary, or something does it better.

Weavile, Dugtrio, Scarfcross, etc. are better revenge killers.

Draggy should stick to what he does best--DD'ing, then outraging.
 
Scarfed Garchomp is really better at base 102 speed instead of Draggy's base 80 and higher attack as well. He also gets STABed EQ.
 
In my opinion, Revenge killers must be either Dugtrio/Trapinch, because of Arena Trap, or an underused thing that no one will run away from using Choice Scarf.


The point of revenge killing is to kill what killed one of your Pokémon, so what's the point if they just run away from you?
