Will Cloyster be a good counter to future raid bosses?
Question is mainly around Dragonite as a raid boss. What type of counter will it be against Dragonite? Is it a good counter against anything else? Also, gamepress shows avalanche has the best charge move but appears blizzard packs a bunch. I would like to hear from peeps that have used Cloyster and not just game theory. Thanks!

Jynx will kill Dragonite really fast (must dodge or you are toast)
Cloyster will kill Dragonite pretty fast (can take a hit or two, but will die without some dodging)
Lapras and Piloswine will kill Dragonite and are a little tanky to make up for the lack of speed.
Haven't used Dewgong or Sneasel, from what I've read dewgong is a mini-lapras but not as good. Sneasel just seems like a small jynx and would get toasted faster (but no experience here).
My personal favorite is cloyter, he's fast but can take a hit if you don't get all your dodges right.
I have a 1945 Cloyster, seems to be great for taking down stuff that's not super effective against it when it comes to raid bosses. It somehow can deal a lot of damage even to Weezing, although I'd need several of these to take that one out. Did more damage than my ground attackers. Avalanche is pretty easy to load if you need lots of damage done fast.
