I got lucky today and eveolved 3 of those guys with 87% + IVs. I know that Powder Snow/Avalanche is a great moveset to take down Dragonites, but are other movesets worth keeping?

1918 CP Powder Snow/Bulldoze 1720 CP Powder Snow/Avalanche 1352 CP Iceshard/ Avalanche

Is Nr.2 better for taking down Dragonite than Lapras/ Cloyster/ Dewgong? Is Bulldoze good for anything? What about Iceshard vs. Powder Snow?

We have tons of Swinub here so I've tried 'em all. Bulldoze is useless. PS/Av is as good as they say, and that PS animation is so cool, but IS/Av seems to be equally effective to me. And, all in all, my ice Piloswines seem as good as the others at beating Dnite. In fact I think if I powered them all the way up they might even be slightly better.

Better than a Lapras with FB/IB or Blizzard? That would be surprising. Im saving evolutions for double xp and haven't experimented with much of gen 2.

I mean, I always like to hear peoples' experience rather than spreadsheet analysis...but it helps when both agree with each other.

This makes sense b/c FWIW, IS/AV and PS/AV are both within 2% DPS of each other....and actually according to the sheets, IS/AV is slightly better (but we all know having a quicker quick move is nice for dodging)

So all in all your comment makes perfect sense.

Only thing I can think of that a Pilsoswine with an ice quick move and bulldoze might be usefull against, would be grass types with poison or other non grass moves?

I would say keep all of them because they can evolve again in gen4
