will DT/O go the way of SW/DP?
When Gen2 dropped, all our SW/DP Dragonites went from having the "best" defensive moveset to one of the worst for offense or defense. Do you guys think DT/O may eventually suffer the same fate in the future?
Obviously i hope not cuz I've invested tons of candy and dust into mine. i'm also inclined to think that if DT/O does eventually become subpar, it may not drop as far as SW/DP due to the fact that both DT and O get STAB. Anyway, what do you guys think?

I think it will always be a decent move-set, considering the fact that they both get stab etc.
Sure..one day there may be a better option, but it might not be a clean cut as that either.
They may add a more moves, but maybe only one will be better, either a new quick move or new charge move.
And depending on the typing etc it may be situational which moveset combo you would want to use.
but yeah, i still think a double dragon type moveset benefiting from stab is always gonna be good unless they completely gut Outrage or something with a huge change/nerf
How so? Db/dc is still the best in game, and was before :) if you factor both time and hp taken from multiple defenders(aka power). Since DT/o is not even a clear second(dt/h, b/se tyra) he cannot follow db/dc foitsteps :).
P.s. Disclaimer: I don't have a dt/o, I have db/dc, dt/h and from this morning a b/se tyra :); so yes, I'm clearly biased :d (but very happy with my attakers)
As a proud owner and member of the high IV (97% for mine) SW/HB Dragonite club, I wouldn't worry at all if people are so fortunate to get a DT/O Dragonite.
The moves at least have STAB and unless STAB changes completely or SE becomes 1.5x damage or more, it's safe to invest in STAB candidates and double dragon moves.
Even a PC/P Alakazam could come back with a simple 2 bar charge move change to Psychic.
Changing SE would completely change damage counters though since it's 2x normally in the games and card games I think so 1.25 is pretty weak.
This would make a lot of mons harder to fight against like a Vap against a Ninetales with Firespin/Solar Beam, but an Eggs firing a Solar Beam into a Vap would probably knock it out super fast with STAB and say 2x damage...
