Db/dc dragonite

I have a DB/HB and I maxed it out. Quite happy with its performance. I'm pretty sure a DB/DC will outperform him so why not? Plus, it's a legacy moveset.

If you like fast quick- and charged moves, you got the best dragonite attacking moveset. It is legacy, You will not get it moveset again. For an attacker, moveset counts more than CP, so a perfect moveset dragonite @2800CP will serve you more than a bad moveset dragonite @3100CP.

Yes, imo it is worth maxing out, at least until level 30, so you will have a flexible, universal attacker.

Save. Push no more than 30, if you really want to.

What I've been doing is spending on my DB dragons some when I have no high IV Dratini to target. When I get one I start saving every candy to evolve it. But Dratini are not rare for me and I'm not going much over 30 with any of them. Doing this I have brought 4 Dragons over 3200 and evolved 2 with DT (HB and H).

Yes, even with 71ivs it's still great, I really enjoy using it too; it's very fun. Even though DT/O has a greater dps, that's only one quantitative difference between the two sets (even if you get a perfect iv DT/oO).

As well, I have one and I use it for attacking gyms instead of putting in a high placeholder, which makes max cp less "weighted" in my suggestion to power it up.

I have a 87% db/dc and 93% dt/o (same levels & similar ivs) and I always prefer to use the db/dc; I only provided the ivs to provide more feedback.

I don't know if you need to max it, but at least take it to level 30. I power up my db/dc Dragonite and he is only 62iv. I have him up at 3000 cp and he is great. Not only is dt/o not preferred by all people, you run the risk of NOT getting that moveset...I have 2 95% sw/hb Dragonites :( and I have another high iv one with dc/hb. The RNG gods have not been good to me with Dragonite (I caught my db/dc.) I finally decided to power him up and haven't regretted it.

Yes! Great set and you always run the risk of getting Steel Wing with an evolve. This way you know you'll have great attacking moves.

I can't dodge DC most of the time, the most annoying dragonite defender

Yes you are going to need a high cp db/dc for battling zh/bs snorlax and blissey zh/dg which makes dodging a BREEZE, like it's literally in perfect intervals.

I have a DB/DC dragonite. I don't have a DT/O dragonite, but I do have a DT/O Gyarados.

I can tell you that I much prefer DB/DC to DT/O. It just feels more smooth and less clunky. I would power yours up to 30 in a heartbeat. Beyond that, I'd just save for future evolves.

Keep it as is.
I have a similar cp one 24xx and i use it to prestiege blissey/snorlax/vap
