I just got my first fast TM and have a Dragonite with Steel Wing/Outrage that I was going to use it on.
This should be one of those situations where you definitely use the TM on it correct?
I know DT/O is considered the highest DPS move set for Dragonite, but was just wondering if anyone prefers Steel Wing solely due to it letting you dodge more.
Ideally, I would want Dragon Breath, but that isn't happening, so should I go ahead with using the TM?
I know it may be a silly question to most people and normally I wouldn't ask this sort of thing. I've just been using my DT/H Dragonite a lot lately and find Dragon Tail a pain to dodge with.
Sure there's plenty of reason to ask.
What's his level? Do you have other dragons or candy and dust?
What is your planned use in your current group of attackers?
Some prefer SW in this situation but most would deem a SW/O Nite "very usable" while DT/Or is better. There is no speed with O so a faster quick move is kind of an incongruous pairing anyway.
I have three Dragonites. Two are at level 34, one of them has DT/H and the other SW/O. My other I haven't powered up any yet. It's a level 20 with SW/H.
I currently have 1 candy, but am walking Dratini. 146,000 dust.
I like to throw at least one into every raid that I go into, usually two because I like their high DPS and versatility. They are some of my favorites to attack anything with.
I changed my SW -> DT with my 2nd fast TM.
The gym game has changed a lot so it's all about raids and you really don't need to dodge anymore IMO...If you need to clear a gym, Machamp can deal with Blissey for 1 round and you can use Dragonite to be a 2nd round+ overall sweeper. That's what I do...Just faster to keep choosing Dnite since it's CP is high and always at the top of my CP ordered mons...and he's bulky enough to clear the whole thing and only heal 1 mon...
Getting hit also generates more energy for faster charge attacks and for raids, it's all about DPS...
Here's someone's long analysis of Steel types and steel attacks...Short version is that there is really little/no use for it so I'd say go for higher neutral DPS and change SW...
