Dragonite
@ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Aqua Tail
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch

Like Earthquake, Aqua Tail hits Heatran, Mega Diancie, and Tyranitar. The additional benefit of it, however, is hitting bulky ground types like Hippowdon and Landorus-T without having to lock yourself into Outrage like the standard dragon dancing set. Fire Punch completes your coverage by avoiding being walled by the likes of Ferrothorn. Extreme Speed is an option over Fire Punch if you prefer the priority and have other methods of removing Ferrothorn, such as with Magnezone. Things like Mega Altaria still wall you regardless of coverage, but that's a problem Dragonite usually has without Iron Tail anyway.

Weakness Policy isn't anything new, but it hasn't been mentioned so far and isn't anywhere in the OU analysis either. I figured it'd be worth mentioning since Dragonite makes good use of it with Multiscale. Since Lum Berry is the standard item, many players may try to avoid hitting you with status. For example, should Clefable use Thunder Wave on a possible Lum Dragonite and risk a 2HKO from a potential Earthquake? Or should it go for Moonblast right off the bat? If they do, they will unexpectedly activate Weakness Policy, which can turn Dragonite into a real monster. The extra boosts can be useful to make up for the loss in power from using Dragon Claw over Outrage.

(Dragonite) @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Outrage/ Dragon Claw
- Fire Punch/ Iron head
- Ice Punch
- Extreme Speed

I really like this set of Dragonite, immediately a lot of power, outrage to kill most of the pokemon pokemon offensive that suffer damage neutral, as Keldeo, mana, , extreme speed is very good against talonflame, and primarily against the weak pokemon in physical bulk. Fire punch is good against ferro,zor mainly which counter dnite ,also is good to beat Magnet Rise klefki, ice punch i think its very good for beat better things like lando-T,tankchomp,without crashing with outrage against the fairies.

nice set but its a standard one dude
 

Dragonite @ Draco Plate/Life Orb
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 56 Atk / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
Mild Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Superpower
- Iron Tail/Iron Head

People forget about the amazing mixed Dragonite of DPP, here it is making a comeback in all it glory! If you just want powerful Draco Meteors, use Draco Plate otherwise feel free to use Life Orb, although remember that this will break Multiscale. With these four moves Dragonite doesn't have any real switch-ins in the OU tier, and Iron Tail is there instead of Iron Head if you're feeling ballsy. IT just comes in on a slower mons like Ferrothorn or Skarmory, and then gets to drop any one of the lure moves that it has in Superpower/Draco Meteor/Iron Tail(let's be real when Nite first comes out you don't expect to eat DMeteor). This current spread is faster than max speed TTar although if you feel the need for speed you can removes special attack EVs and bump it all the way up to 263 for max speed base 70s.

7.8 Needs Moar Dragonites
 
All-Out Mixed Attacker Dragonite

Fly Dragonite is funny, but in all those replays Fly was Dragonite's least important move. Half the time it won just by SubRoost stalling. It hits Scizor and Ferrothorn neutrally, but they both love the chances Fly gives them to SD or set up hazards.
