Steel Wing is actually the best quick move a defending Dragonite can get.
However, Hyper Beam is laughable, one of the most predictable charge moves in the game. It's animation is so transparent that you can keep spamming Frost Breath till the yellow flash and still dodge it with ease. Truly trash defensive charge move compared to the best alternative - Dragon Pulse.
Haven't thought about that much because there is real drop between mentioned movesets.
I mean, HB is much worse than Dragon Pulse. Dragon Claw is much worse than Dragon Pulse as well. But between these two, hmmmmm. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
HB does a lot of damage even when dodged and favors rare eventualities when you screw dodge.
Dragon Claw is much harder to dodge, less predictable and used more often, but if you screw dodge you are not that punished.
I wouldn't accept neither of them. My philosophy of defending in pokemon go is that the best defender is the one that can cause the most harm (and will cost attacker the most potions) even against players who dodge every move.
