Help with my Special Dragonite?

Question

Please rate the moveset, I'm not entirely sure. This is to be used in OU.

Dragonite @ Life Orb
Ability: Multiscale
Evs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
Ivs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Roost

Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse for STAB. Fire Blast is for fire coverage, which my team needs. Focus Blast causes pain to many many things, and Roost is to keep Multiscale active. Life Orb was chosen for maximum damage output, and also because I have Roost to live.

Ideas?

In Monotype, I use this Specail Dragonite often, but I'm not sure how well it'd do in OU. :P

Dragonite @ Weakness Policy  
Ability: Multiscale  
EVs: 212 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 40 Spe  
Modest / Mild Nature    
- Agility  
- Heat Wave / Fire Blast  
- Dragon Pulse / Extreme Speed  
- Thunderbolt

Mild goes with Extreme Speed. :P

Ooh.... weakness Policy!
I like it, but I already have one mixed sweeper (landorus-t)

---

Why would you use a Dragonite when you could mega Lati@s?

---

Because I already have a Mega Lopunny on my team.

---

Kyurem is also better than Dragonite. You can use Kyurem.

---

Ok, what moveset do you suggest? Kyurem also has more weaknesses...

---

Kyurem-black @ life orb
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty nature
- ice beam
- fusion bolt
- roost
- earth power

---

Wouldn't normal Kyurem be better?
- Earth Power
- Ice Beam
- Flash Cannon
- Roost
With a life orb?

---

Kyurem has higher SpA than Kyurem-B (130 vs 120)

---

There are water Pokemon that wall regular Kyurem much more easily because it can't learn fusion bolt.

Answer 1

mmm I mean I'm likin' it not just for the moveset but just because Dragonite is an OU type of Pokemon. While it's definitely more simplistic than you'd usually see in OU thats not necessarily a bad thing. But something that does bother me is the life orb, now think about this Dragonite is not a fast pkmn nor are you putting heavy work into his speed Ev's. And with life orb you need that speed to make it useful you say you have roost to live but remember Dragon is one of the strongest if not the strongest type attacking wise. And you also have to deal with a lot of dragon types mega evolving. As well as dragon type moves being fairly common outside of dragon type pkmn and you also have tl deal with Fairies! I just think having to deal with the speed of other pkmn that your better off with Stakata's moveset in the comments or atleast changing out the life orb for leftovers and focus blast for agility potentially dragon dance. But currently no considering all the stats I do not think this pkmn iis ready for the hardships of the OU go catch a Joltiemon they basically founded the OU. Hope this helped!

Yeah. Thanks for the answer, will BA. I've actually deicided to change to Weakness Policy to suit 'Nite better.
