What moves are the best for Dragonite in Pokémon Go?

Dragonite’s best movesets can change in Pokémon Go depending on the type of battle you are participating in. Understanding this is crucial, as it allows you to be prepared for any situation. To cover all bases, we’ve divided Dragonite’s best moves into two categories: PvP and PvE. 

Best Dragonite PvP moveset in Pokémon Go

Dragonite’s Dragon Breath and Superpower/Dragon Claw are strategic powerhouses in Pokémon Go’s PvP battles. The Dragon Breath’s speed and precision make it a formidable force, even if it doesn’t pack the raw power of Dragon Tail. The ability still makes up for it with its fast timing, which will undoubtedly prove helpful in PvP.

For a Charged Attack, use the move Superpower. It’s balanced with timing and damage, hitting various Pokémon weaknesses as a Fighting Type move. If you’re looking for something else, try Dragon Claw instead. It’s another of those speedy strikes that could ultimately turn the odds in your favor.  

Best Dragonite PvE moveset in Pokémon Go

Given that timing isn’t as crucial in Pokémon Go‘s PvE, Dragonite’s best moveset for Raids/boss battles are Dragon Tail and Outrage/Draco Meteor. The powerful Dragon Tail is a reliable choice for a Fast Attack due to its high damage rates. But the brute force of Dragonite’s Charged Attacks is where it truly shines. Whether you choose Outrage or Draco Meteor, both abilities unleash considerable damage, giving you the confidence to adapt to any Raid/boss battle.
