Dragonite and Rhydon

Steel wing + dragon claw as defensive moveset for dragonite and mud slap + megahorn as offensive for Rhydon are still inferior compared with their movesets ranked as class "A" in the previous version of the game?

I mean, i got those 2 pokemons with great IV, but never powered up. In your opinion, this changed with the new moves and stats?
I Know there is new moves like hurricane for dragonite for example, but im questioning if should i power up these pokemons now... What do you think?

*Sorry about my english

Too soon to tell what the new meta will be like - I think we need a few weeks to figure out what will be good now. Remember how long it took for people to figure out the power of the pre-nerf wiggly, for example...

Yea there are going to be a lot of "What the heck should I do?!" questions for a few weeks. My advice, don't evolve and just keep catching. Hindsight is 20/20

I have a lvl 30 3000+CP Dragonite
with Steel wing + dragon claw

and I just wonna know what these changes mean for it...has it gone even worse than before ? or is it actually better now ?

my only dragonite is the same and i think its going to be even worse, but not sure

I think it's better, steel wing is quicker, and dragon claw deals more damage. But dragon breath is still the best overall.

Let's wait and see... Like DrAzzy said, a few weeks to better know the new meta. Thanks for the answers.

Dragon Claw sucks as a defense move mate.

Dragon Claw is now a 3-bar charge move, and does 50 damage instead of 35 ... Dragonite will basically be spamming DC on defense.

I'm pretty sure SW-DC and DB-DC (both legacy movesets) will be the best defending Dragonites. The former gives type coverage against Rock, whereas DB base damage was buffed so it will be decent on defense as a quick move.

The whole meta changed. Don't be a jerk.
