Dragonite moveset

Is now Dragon breath/ Dragonpulse better than Dragon breath/ Dragon claw?

DPS-wise they do the same damage, although I prefer DC since the duration is shorter and you can basically string 3 of them in a row.

I keep telling myself they are, since I have 2 DB/DP, 5 DB/HB and no DB/DC Dragonite, nor will I now ever be able to get one :)

In the end of the day, Dragon Breath seems to be so much better than both Dragon Tail and Steel Wing. If you have a DB Dragonite, you have a premium attacker, regardless of the charge move.

I don't have near as many as you, but have one DB/DP and one DB/HB, both of them maxed and I am really crossing my fingers wishing that Niantic does not nerf Dragon Breath...at this point I don't even know what are the reasons behind those moveset changes...Probably they are trying to fear players on powering up mon just to make gyms have lower cp and change hands easily so we don't get as many "free" coins? Or maybe they just want us to walk hundres of km with gen1 mon in order to take more time to complete gen2 dex? I don't know, but my Dratini spawns have went literally to zero after gen2 has been introduced, I have even got 3 mantine that should be also a rare mon where I went to get some Dratini (normally 1 or 2 per day), and Slowpoke seems to have stayed on most water spawns in my town since Valentine's, have any of you noticed something similar?

Legacy Dragonite with DB is still great, regardless of the charge move. The difference between DP and DC was always minimal and it depends entirely on your fighting preference (DPS difference is really small).

I personally prefer DP and HB because of my fighting style. I use the charge move after dodging the defender's charge move (for the most part), so DC is a bit wasted on me...
