Dragonite's moveset ranking

GP seems to focus mainly on DPS since DT has the top spots on the offensive ranking list. If this is the case, SW/OR should be ranked 3rd since it's actually easier to dodge with SW, although worse DPS and EPS - but OR can really make up for the lower DPS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iXCn4liP8_bWqCqai5jC6M6VqV6vm6tRcT0QOsy72_U/htmlview?usp=drive_web&sle=true#

If dodging comes into play, DB should obviously be ranked higher. I'd personally rather have a DB/DP dragonite than any of the movesets currently available.

2. DT/H
3. SW/OR
4. DT/HB

3. DT/OR
4. DB/HB
5. DT/H
6. SW/OR
7. DT/HB
8. SW/H

Fine. This is, what i would expect.

It is considerable weeker than highest dps-moveset, and it is rated A too. So Gamepress considers both, damage and dodging.
Everything is fine.

What is this obsession with Dragonites moveset ratings?

What difference does it make what anyone says, if you already know what you prefer to use?

Let it go people...or start your own site and make your own list.

I realise this post sounds grumbly...but every second thread is about dragonites moveset ratings, and it is getting boring

Seriously...move on.

I agree bro! I'm so tired of seeing people freak out over Dragonite. Its quite sad tbh. Dragonite is so incredibly overvalued to the point where other attackers may not exist to some players. Flareon w/ FS/Oh may be a glass cannon but he rips into Blissey just as easily. Some have even said they preferred Tyranitar to Dragonite lol.

On GamePress, if two or more move sets have the same "grade", does the order by which the moves are presented mean anything?

For instance, on Venusaur's page, is VW+SB considered to have a slight edge over VW+PB? Or are they considered to be "equally good"?

Not being obsessed here, just wanted to correctly interpret info presented by GamePress. Does anybody know?

The order by which the moves are presented does mean something, yes - it's not random.

Steel Wing is just inferior to DT in every circumstance.

Even in the "best" case for SW, in which the opponent attacks every 2.5 seconds, you can fit 2x DT (36 dmg with STAB) or 3x SW (33 dmg). In 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 second integers, etc., DT will still outperform SW in both energy and damage -- and this considers dodging.
