Dragonite
 
Ok, I am currently training to get a Dragonite, right now it is a Level 43 Dragonair. I was trying to think up a good moveset for it, and since it has a high Attack Stat, I was going for a Physical Sweeper, except...I DON'T HAVE EQ!! Poo...

This is the moveset i've been thinking of, tell me if it is good:

Dragonite:
Swords Dance
Aerial Ace
Thunder Wave
Filler

I don't know another good move to go with this set!

HELP PLEASE!

Use this:

Dragonite @ Leftovers
Trait: Inner Focus
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

The most effective Dragonite.

You can't use the DD set as you don't have EQ.

Eh, I already used Substitute on another Pokemon. Is EQ an automatic need for DD? If not, are there any replacements for EQ?

Sorry, your strategy fails as Dragonite can’t learn Swords Dance. But it CAN learn Dragon Dance which is even better, because Dragonite needs the speed.

You can get more Earthquakes in Emerald by running around with a Lv. 91+ Pokemon with PickUp trait and hope that it picks up an Earthquake TM. Other wise, trade from another game. Return can be an okay filler, but Steel and Rock types will resist you, so get another Earthquake at all costs.
Also, it’s better if you used Thunder to take care of Skarmory, who resists your other two moves. Thunder is also good against the likes of Milotic and Suicune who have enough defense to ward off your physical attacks.

So your ideal set should look like:

Dragonite
-Aerial Ace
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Thunder

Not really. You need to get more games. >_>

Wow, I am a huge dip! I meant Dragon Dance, sorry. Wow, I am so darn stupid.

I am terribly sorry, but I do not have another Pokemon game, as I just sold my Sapphire, and I do not plan on getting another game of this sort any time soon, and nobody I know has the game. So, should I just forget using Dragonite, or what?

I can already tell I am screwed.

Oh, and Mullet, I don't really spend my money that much, I am saving up for alot of things, and frankly, Pokemon isn't one of them. I am saving up for a Wii, a Car, and plenty of other things. So don't go telling me to get another game.

Getting another game was mearly an option don't get smart with someone trying to help you.

Oh and if your not linking up to battle then don't worry about movesets as anything can win ingame, unless of course we are talking about the Battle Frontier.
