Dragonite Question

I prefer to use Outrage because of STAB and it's a two bar move. I really prefer powerful two bar moves due to my play style and cell data coverages in some places. Hurricane is still decent but I don't like it as well. I think of it as more of a B move.

Both are A-rated moves and are both desirable.

Hurricane is only a one-bar move but is much faster than Outrage. It also deals SE damage against fighting, bug, and grass. Both get STAB.

I believe you want 1 of each Dragonite in time, so the first charge move isn't that important as long as it's one or the other.

Yes, the gameplan with Dragonite is you ChargedTM Hyperbeam to get one of the good moves. Hurricane isn't quite as good as Outrage, but then, nothing in the game is as good as Outrage when doing neutral damage. Be happy with Hurricane, and if your next two Dragonites also get Hurricane, then think about a quick TM for that.

I find Outrage considerably better. Hurricane is good for Machamp raids and does OK in neutral matchups.

Consider this story: I had 2 Hu Dragonites (98% & 80%), I had two Outrage Dragonites (87%&84%) all between lv 30-32. Fearing that the Gen3 release coming soon could render Outrage legacy and not wanting to max a mid80's dragon nor a Hurricane dragon, I TM'ed the 98% to Outrage(luckily on 1st try).

So I maxed out my new 98% DT/O Dragonite. Less than one week later I catch a SW/HB 100% Dragonite. TM also Outrage. So now I have a 4 Outrage Dragonites including a 100%&98% w/Outrage and only one 80% hurricane Dragonite instead of 100% O & 98% Hu. If you can live with something like that happening (I can) then go for it.

I've seen comparisons that put Hurricane and Outrage really close together. The main difference for attacking is the one bar vs two bar debate and the few type advantage differences.

I have 5 dragons. Three have DT/O and two have DT/Hu. Both movesets have uses. Hurricane ones good for solo Machamp. I have a bigger preference to Outrage for sweeping up gyms. It's more of an A vs B+ for me as I'm taking down gyms more than I'm doing Machamp raids. But it's definitely not a big gap.
