Dragonite vs Salamence
Which one will be better? What will probably be the differences between them?
Answers
Here are their stats, as listed by GamePress:
Dragonite (3581 CP)
-Base ATK (263) --> Rank: 10/386
-Base DEF (201) --> Rank: 62/386
-Base STA (182) --> Rank: 51/386
Salamence (3532 CP)
-Base ATK (277) --> Rank: 7/386
-Base DEF (168) --> Rank: 131/386
-Base STA (190) --> Rank: 40/386
So, by stats alone, Dragonite is the better dragon, but only by a slight margin. Salamence slightly surpasses Dragonite in attack power and HP, but Dragonite heavily outclasses him in defense. But, the difference between them will most likely be their movesets, and as aSp said, will be the deciding factor for determining which is better.
But, for something like a Marawak raid (OK, low interest in that, but it's the best example), it's a lot easier to get the 375 Dratini candy and 375 Bagon (?) candy to have two powered up Dragonites and two powered up Salamances, than is it to get 750 Dratini candy to have four powered up Dragonites. Other than that, it's Moltres/Entei, Raikou/Zapdos, but less so because of the flying difference between the legendaries.
All that said, double flying on a strong mon would be a real boon for things like Machamp raids, and would add another good tool for attacking grass and ground (2x resistance).
I don't understand what you mean with Marawak. It's weak to grass & water. So with out looking it up or using a calculator I think Eggy is the best for him. Anyway it doesn't even matter because you could beat it with anything.
Second part you are right but what I ment is that most people already have some powered up Dragonites and the tiny difference between them won't be worth it to use all that dust.
