Dragonite (#149)
OU Tier

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Art:
Dragonite is such a strange pokemon, I remember when I was so excited when my dragonair was evolving. I really though that it would look like this. ... but we have Dragonite.

It really just looks like barney the dinosaur turned pokemon. It's not for me.
5.0/10

Casual:
Dragon types are not common, with this family being one of the only ones. It's strong, it's got a good movepool.

I know this might be a waste of Dragonite's stats. But it can learn every HM.
8.0/10

Competitive:
Dragonite deserves its place in OU. Dragonite is a beast, especially MixNite, all of it's stats are amazing, with speed being its worst. With 80 speed.

It sweeps, it tanks with it's 5 resistances, and it's move pool is HUGE.

The only flaw I see in dragonite, (aside from the SR weakness D: ) is it's terrible ability. Inner Focus prevents flinching. There are situations where avoiding the flinchhax could save you. Dragon Rush (2x damage) has 20% chance. But still, give it something like Intimidate. >;]

I actually like Dragonite. But the fake evolution is far more epic. Anyway, Inner Focus only prevents Dragonite from flinching, not the opponent. I'm pretty sure anyway.

If you were speaking to me, most likely not. I was planning to use Dragonite as an Anti-Lead. Not sure how Salamence does at that.

You know, when I see that green Dragonite, one word always comes to mind..."Yoshi". Seriously, if I ever get a shiny Dratini/Dragonair and evolve it into a Dragonite, I'm nicknaming it Yoshi. It just fits. 3nodding

From someone who uses both Nite and Mence, Nite is primarily my dragon of choice (now that Chomp is banned anyways). And I say that for more than nostalgic reasons, even though I never used a Dragonite until the release of the Gen 4 games. xd

No mate, I didn´t say that to you, but for suicide who said:
"Dragonite deserves its place in OU. Dragonite is a beast, especially MixNite, all of it's stats are amazing, with speed being its worst. With 80 speed. "...
And
"The only flaw I see in dragonite, (aside from the SR weakness D: ) is it's terrible ability. Inner Focus prevents flinching. There are situations where avoiding the flinchhax could save you. Dragon Rush (2x damage) has 20% chance. But still, give it something like Intimidate. >;] "
