Blastoise defender moveset

I see that bite/beam is rated C but watergun/beam is rated B.

Wouldn't bite/beam be ideal for defense since people will only attack with either grass or electric?

Bite doesn't get STAB, unlike Water Gun; so I imagine that is the reason Water Gun with Ice Beam is rated better than Bite with Ice Beam.

That Blastiose is a good dragonite counter. The stab bonus on water gun gets cancelled out cuz of dragons resistance to water so in the end bite does the same damage as water.
I use mine with my Lapras when taking down gyms with multiple dragonites. It works better than a dewdong or cloyster cuz its way tankier and has a higher CP.

Well, technically a type Resistance doesn't cancel STAB entirely because STAB is x1.25 and Type Resistance x0.8, am I wrong? But yeah, I guess that x0.05 may be trivial
