Dragonite-Mega is the premier threat in Singles, posting 8.22% usage at 1760+ (rank 20) — the highest-usage Dragon-type Mega in the format. GameWith rates it SS; Smogon rates it A. Expert commentary consistently confirms it 'leads almost every game, has wide coverage, and wins most head-to-head matchups.' Multiscale (100%) guarantees it tanks one hit when entering at full HP, while its special movepool (Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Draco Meteor, Air Slash) creates broad offensive coverage.
Playstyle：Standard set: Modest nature (13.6% most used), Special Attack and Speed heavily invested (1/0/1/32/0/32 or 32/0/0/32/0/2), Dragoninite as the only item. Moveset typically features Thunderbolt (14%), Flamethrower (13.5%), Draco Meteor (12.9%), Air Slash (11.7%), and Roost (10.9%) for longevity. Substitute (5%) appears in some sets. Expert insight: 'Florges patches the gap where Mega Primarina cannot handle Mega Dragonite.' Core partner triangle: Garchomp (9.2%) sets Stealth Rock, Aegislash (7.9%) tanks special attackers.
Dragonite-Mega is a top-tier Doubles force with 7.92% usage at 1760+ (rank 16). Tailwind (16.7%) gives the team a speed advantage; Dragon Pulse (14.8%) and Hurricane (12.3%) provide reliable spread/single-target special damage. GameWith rates it A in Doubles. Its most common partners are Basculegion (16.9%), Archaludon (10.8%), and Sneasler (8.6%), forming a multifaceted offensive core.
Playstyle：Doubles Dragonite-Mega sets are highly consistent: Timid (28.2%) or Modest (24.3%), max Special Attack and Speed (2/0/0/32/0/32). Core moveset: Tailwind (16.7%), Dragon Pulse (14.8%), Protect (14.1%), Hurricane (12.3%). The gameplan is: lead with Tailwind to set speed control, Dragon Pulse for reliable single-target damage, Hurricane benefits from paired sun users. Draco Meteor (8%) is saved for burst damage. Top partners: Basculegion (16.9%) for spread utility, Archaludon (10.8%) to patch Fairy/Ice weaknesses.
Dragonite holds a 2.16% usage rate at 1760+ (rank 53), appearing 26 times in the top-300 ladder and 222 times in tournaments — among the most battle-tested entries in the format. Multiscale (99.2%) enables safe switch-ins from full HP, and ExtremeSpeed (15.4%) provides priority that its Mega counterpart lacks. Top players center builds around a 'Dragonite + Hippowdon + Aegislash' core. However, Smogon has dropped it to B+, noting it is 'outshone by its Mega.'
Playstyle：The standard Dragon Dance (22%) + Multiscale setup is the backbone: enter at full HP to halve the first hit, set up one or two Dragon Dances, then sweep with Earthquake (18.6%) and Outrage (15.8%). Lum Berry (63.9%) is the overwhelming item choice, preserving the sweep by curing status. Expert commentary: 'Dragonite leads almost every game; Hippowdon provides Stealth Rock and Yawn to restrict setup; Aegislash runs a Special Defense-focused set to absorb Primarina and Florges.' Jolly or Adamant nature with max Attack/Speed EVs is standard.
In Doubles, Dragonite posts 3.5% usage at 1760+ (rank 39), notably stronger than in Singles. Adamant + Dragon Fang (62%) provides raw damage pressure through ExtremeSpeed against both targets, while Tailwind (10.6%) gives it speed control utility. GameWith rates it A in Doubles; 222 tournament appearances. Kingambit (13%) is its most common partner, forming an Intimidate-backed fast-attack structure.
Playstyle：Doubles standard build: Adamant 2/32/0/0/0/32, Dragon Fang (62%), ExtremeSpeed (22.7%) + Dragon Claw (21.8%) for dual-target pressure, Low Kick (14.8%) to handle Kingambit mirrors. Protect (14.5%) buys safe turns; Tailwind (10.6%) boosts the entire team. A bulkier spread (32/32/1/0/1/0) also sees use for sustained pressure. Key teammates: Kingambit (13%), Sneasler (11.7%), Incineroar (8.1%), Basculegion (8%).
