Dragonite....Best attacking Moveset?

Alright so i got a Dragonite i caught in the wild a while back. 87% IV 15/13/11. I was looking at the Attacking Tier set and DB/DC is a moveset listed as one of the best attacking movesets. So here is my questions. At level 15 it would take alot more dust than i have to power him up(i have the candy though) should i save dust to power him up(rework will probably be done by the time i do have enough dust) or should i just keep him as a prestiger? 1512 CP would be pretty good against a Dragonite tower maybe? IDK let me know what you all think i should do, I also think That is a legacy Moveset.

87% DB/DC? Hell yeah...what do you want to invest your dust into if not for that moveset?

Very True statement, I experimented with the moveset alittle bit but wasn't blown away. Might have to try it again. Sounds like i would be wasting dust powering anything else up. Plus could be my first 3k+ Mon.

It's one of the very best attackers in the game. If you value dodging then he will do better than most any others mons for you. For Dragons (now that so many have DT) I prefer ice mons although I'll send in the Dragons if after my first run I find some with SW or HB.

It's a monster attacker if you dodge reliably. Only B/SE Tyranitar for me has similar power and speed.

I recently found love again for My double ice Cloyster and Dewgong lol. I underestimated the Ice against Dragons. Very helpful.

I would trade anything I have for DB/DC Dragonite. Power it up.

We will see how the trading turns out, we can talk then. lol

Just go ahead and max it out !

Should i save dust to power him up(rework will probably be done by the time i do have enough dust) or should i just keep him as a prestiger?

DB/DC is my favorite Dragonite moveset, as it is great for players who dodge often. It is one of the best and most useful attackers in the game. However, it is a poor choice for prestiger, as it gets it's strength from some of the highest base CP in the game, rather than type counters -- it does not hit above what you'd expect based on CP level, like you'd want in a prestiger.

One valid reason to hold off powering up would be waiting for the gym rework. However, we know little about when that will arrive and what it will entail, so it is also perfectly valid to continue playing as usual.

If I see anyone asking should I power up a DB/DC Dragonite or ZH/BS Snorlax again...

I am asking because it is at that rare mid-level range where it COULD be used as a prestiger. But should i power up that ZH/BS Snorlax too?

Lol

But why would you have a Dragonite as a prestiger? Anything can be used to prestige with, but few Pokemon have such high max CP potential as well as being the best attacker when maxed out.

Would you rather have a maxed Wigglytuff and a 1500 CP Dragonite or the opposite?

He's not a bad prestiger BECAUSE he is much more valuable as a max level attacker.

He's a bad prestiger because his stat distribution makes him so.

I have an exactly same Dnite, same IV/MS but at level 13, I don't power it up, because I already had another 3 Dnite with DB/DC and DP, all above 3100CP. after gen2 I tried to get DT/OR, but just got 3 HB in a row(that still hurts), no luck yet, so I’m thinking just keep that one as is in case one day trade come out, so I can trade for a DT/OR, B/SE, ZH/BS sort of things...
