Can my Alakazam be a dragonite killer?

Just want to see if my Alakazam could be viable as a attacker (specifically for dragonite) got him before gen2 he has confusion/dg and I know there is no stab effect with dg but still could have potential possibly?

Well.. it is possible, after all his ATK is pretty huge and DG deals extra damage to dragons, but ice types are A LOT better, Piloswine with powder snow/avalanche seems to do an awesome job, or any other ice attacker. Dragonite has double weakness to ice

You are going to have to do allot of dodging due to the glass cannon he is.

It's possible.

(I wasn't sure on your mon's CP so I just put 2500 vs a 3000 dragonite with DT/Hurrican)

Dodge All had the best results, but he can survive by using any of the Dodge All strategies, and could come out with a sliver of life on Dodge Specials PRO. Explanations are in the question box to the right of the selector (just click on the top left menu, go to battle, then to the right of the Attack Strategy the ? will explain the tactic).

Sorry guess I should of mentioned that in the post lol, it's a 89% perfect attack iv 15/13/12 and cp is 1622. Probably won't power him up if it isn't the most ideal move set for him unless he is worth powering up but if not only 28 candy til I can evolve another one. Also +1 for the site

Gengar is also pretty strong vs Dragonite. My 2235 SC/SB took out 2 3k Nites today. SC & SB have crazy good DPS and SC is so fast you can dodge everything keeping Gengar alive for a long time.

Otherwise the better ice monster: Cloyster, Piloswine, lapras can take out 2

I have a maxed out zam that used to be able to take out around three 3000+cp dragonites with sw quick moves before the gen2 changes. Has pc/p but supposedly now confusion better?

I think Confusion does more dps but pretty sure pc still is a Better quick move for attacking so you should be good.

Pc/P is still awesome...but you want Pc/Fs as an upgrade.
Confusion is a little too slow and leaves you open to a missed dode, and that can be costly.
Just my opinion, from playing with them all recently.

Pc is more nimble for the dodge, and charges energy much faster for the charge moves. Better all round.
