Will anyone keep steel wing on a DM Dragonite?

All three of the Dragonites I evolved today during the event got SW/DM. I already fast TM'd the best one (15/15/12) and powered it up to L35, but my one and only shiny Dragonite still has SW for now. With me living in a northern climate, and snowy weather likely to be common for the next month or so, I figure I'll keep SW on it for now. Anyone else planning to keep steel wing?

Already gone. Snows once every 15 years. Needed some Rayquaza reinforcements as less people out raiding.

2 of mine got Steel Wing. I kept one of them just on the off chance there's a niche use for it. Maybe a bulky Celebi anchor?
Edit: Nope Dragon Tail is still better
Edit 2: SW/DM will be good againt non-Blizzard Regice raids, so there's that I guess

Unless you need to anchor Piloswine raids.

I'm keeping my SW/DM Dragonite because it's my only Dragonite and I have no fTM. I've had only one fTM playing the game and used it to turn a Bite Gyarados into Waterfall, and it would've been better if I kept Bite as I just got a very unexpected exraid invitation.

I TM'd them all to DT without even considering this, as I have too many fast TMs and was excited to get some use for them. Currently Dragonite's main use is as Rayquaza counter and generalist and against Ray, SE STAB DT wins boosted SW by a wide margin.

Steel is effective against Rock, Ice, and Fairy... unfortunately most of the types that Dragonite is pretty weak against. Unless you want a Dragonite as a defender with a partially counter those typings, it may be better to go with a double dragon moveset and have a generalist attacker
