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?

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).
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.
