Dragonite is a fan favorite as the first Dragon type seen in Generation 1. Across the anime and almost every game in the Pokemon roster, Dragonite is almost always on top. In fact, the final Elite four member, Lance possessed 3 of them illegally. This time, we need to figure out what the Best Dragonite moveset Pokemon GO has.

Dragonite Stats

#149 on the Kanto Pokedex is Dragon and Flying-type. This means it resists Fighting, Bug, Fire and Water-type attacks. Dragonite also double resists Ground and Grass-types, so you really should avoid these move types when battling it. It does have double weakness to Ice-type attacks, and is weak to Rock, Dragon and Fairy-type attacks. Not even the best Pokemon are untouchable!

Dragonite Pokemon GO Raid Guide

Dragonite has previously been featured in 3* and above Raids. In these raids, its CP range has been between low 2000s and 2700 CP. Most players will evolve their Dragonite by evolving Dratini to Dragonair for 25 Candy, then Dragonair to Dragonite with 100 Candy.

Dratini is not a particularly uncommon Pokemon in game. In fact, it has previously been a 500-600 CP 1* raid. Easy!

Our recommended attackers for Dratini and Dragonite Raids are Ice types due to their 2x or 4x super effective damage damage. Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode preferably), Weavile an Eeveelution like Glaceon are all good options here.

Dragonite Move Set

Dragonite can learn a total of 3 Quick Moves and 9 Main moves. It also has access to 2 moves via an Elite TMs. Due to Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB), Dragon or Flying-Type moves will do 20% more damage. These moves in italics have STAB.

Best Dragonite Moveset Pokemon GO

This moveset is designed to allow your Dragonite to be the strongest on the field. You can’t go far wrong with these moves:

For both aggressive and defensive builds, Dragon Tail is the best Quick move. It has high DPS and builds Main moves the fastest.
For leaving Dragonite in Gyms, we recommend Outrage, as it is the fastest building Main move with STAB.
For attacking other Pokémon, using an Elite TM to learn Draco Meteor for the higher DPS is better suited.
