Dragonite with Steel Wing / Outrage
I'm very unlucky about hatching 10 km eggs (lvl 34, 1 snorlax, 1 lapras, 2 dratinis - compared with a friend, that's not cool and i've already hatched a TOTAL of 779 eggs, including all km...).
Well, the introduction above is to justify my answer. Considering the difficulty to find dratinis candies (my buddy is already a dragonite), should i power up that dragonite with SW/outrage?
It was found on the wild (dratini) at level 30 and IV of ~80%, CP after evolution of about 2850.
My other dragonites are:
- a good IV SW/DC CP 2331
- a poor IV (22%) found in the wild with DB/DP CP 1474.

Recently evolved my 100% Dratini and got SW/Rage also. Initial reaction was disappointment, since I was conditioned already to think of SW as the slow defensive move pre-update. But after looking at the new numbers and actually testing him out in a gym, I think I got lucky! Dragon Tail is slower and hits harder so that's the new best defensive quick move. SW is faster now at 0.80s so you can strike twice before having to dodge. Outrage dishes out a ton of damage; two bars of 110 each! The new defender/attacker lists aren't out yet, but I'm pretty sure Outrage will be the top move on both offense/defense. And DT for defense, SW for offense. So basically having SW/Rage means you have an "A" attacker, and a "B" defender. I'll take that combo any day. The key ingredient post-update is having Outrage no matter what.
