How would you rate the mix of legacy and current moves for dragonite?

From a practical use viewpoint, how would you rate these?
1. DT/DC
2. DT/DP
3. DB/O
4. DB/Hu

DT/DC sucks, Dragon claw's usefulness for dodging is no good when paired with such a slow fast move.

DT/DP also sucks, cos DP is worse than O.

DB/O outrage doesn't fit well with dragon breaths dodging capabilities.

DB/Hu would be a nice pairing.

DT/DC is trash. DC is a low damage, short duration move for dodging. DT is too slow, I'll rather have SW/DC.
DT/DP is a little worse than DT/O, with 20 less damage for 0.3 less seconds duration. But I've a feeling that those people who TMed away DP for Outrage will regret it in the next move rebalance...

DB/O is a decent moveset. Outrage is like Crunch, with big damage but long duration.
DB/Hu is like B/SE Tyranitar. Very good combo.

I was thinking about TM my 3295CP DB/DP 91.1% Dragonite, but as you said, DP can get better in the next move rebalance so ill leave him. Besides this, DP is not a bad move, just have a long duration. He is my go to after my 3377CP DB/DC.

I agree with previous replies but wanted to add that I really enjoy my DB/Hu Dragon. Those two moves work really well together.

At first I was really disappointed when the charge TM gave me Hu because, naturally, I thought I wanted O. (My Dragonite originally evolved with DB/HB.) But now I'm glad I got it.

I'd rate:
- DB/O A;
- DB/Hu A;
- DT/DC B;
- DT/DP B.

  • i have a DB/O Kingdra 2100+CP, its great.

  1. Not the best, but at least has dragon move synergy. If you are stuck with a DC variant without DB, this is your best option.
  2. Not the best, but at least has dragon move synergy. Would not touch DP as it is not that worse than outrage (faster cast time and cooldown)
  3. Dragon move synergy and tested to be the fastest takedown of Blissey out of all Dnite moves, a Level 30 DB/OR = Level 39 DB/DC by testing of Funkysho. Probably my pick out of all 4.
  4. Most practical from a battling perspective as DB/H are both 'fast' moves but lagging behind DB/DC for move synergy and dodgability and no raw DPS of DB/OR or DT/OR.

I have all except Dragon Claw, DB/O and DB/Hu I have at very similar CP, but DB/O is my favourite by far and my main gym sweeper.
