Legacy TMs
any chance we can obtain these in the future? I always wanted to own a Dnite with DB/DC

DT/DC is a pretty good moveset. Dragon Tail loses some maneuverability for dodging, but is stronger than Dragon Breath. PokeBattler simulations and PoGoMoves.com both rank DT/DC among Dragonite's top movesets, and higher than DB/DC.
Dragon Breath used to be a much stronger move, but was nerfed pretty hard with the Gen2 update. After that update, GamePress initially ranked DB/DC lower also, but a lot of people were upset about that ranking of their favorite moveset and were incredibly vocal about it here. GamePress eventually relented and pushed DB/DC up the rankings just to appease those players.
Dragon Breath is only better if you are trying to dodge all moves, but not many people bother to do that any more. Dragonite is a generalist for clearing out low motivation gyms or filling in spots for raid teams. You don't need to dodge fast moves for that, and when using Dragon Tail you can still dodge long charge moves if you are watching for them.
So true. I got to level 33 without any kind of tracker. The in-game one just told you there was something out there. Somewhere. The 3-step tracker had been killed shortly after I started. We mostly had to really search for mons, or just blindly stumble into them.
It sounds crazy, but one of the things that kept the game engaging was saving candies for weeks or months, then rolling the dice with the evolution and *hoping* for a good move set... and plenty of times, getting crap and having to start all over again.
But yeah I like DB/DC. Got lucky.
