but outrage isn't horrible, it is the most powerful 3rd gen dragon move next to dragon claw, aerial ace is pretty good stragety but wing attack is more likely to be a KO move (not to be confused w/ one hit ko moves) and further more as i said hyper beam is a last resort only to be used in battling stronger foe, it is not guaranted to ko the enemy but deals great damage and dragon rage ehh you can replace it w/ any move

Wing Attack has no added benefit over Aerial Ace at all except more PP (35 vs. 20). Personally, having a move that will always hit wins against more PP, especially since in-game battles don't last nearly as long as competitive battles do. You are giving too much credit to Hyper Beam. With your moveset, the almighty Hyper Beam will do max damage of 29% to Metagross. With my Dragon Dance moveset, however, an unboosted Earthquake will do max damage of 77%. After one Dragon Dance, it is a OHKO. With the SubPunch moveset, Focus Punch still does 58% max damage, or twice as much damage as Hyper Beam, plus you don't have to be locked into a turn to recharge. |
you're right powerful moves arent always the best just like you said but for one thing what are the odds of your opponent switching steel poke
anyway in double battles outrage is not like earthquake which affects all poke's it's like razor leaf, swift and etc. and you have a good point but dragonite doent learn dragon dance to cover up outrage teach dragonite safeguard or keep it dragonite naturally learn safeguard and dragonite vs matagross ,dragonite uses hyper beam as a last resort so he(dragonite) could always use dragon rage sure it takes forever to knock metagross down but its worth a shot |

Outrage is definitely not like Earthquake in which you can plan for and have your other Poke either immune to it or resist it. Outrage is not like Razor Leaf and Swift. Those moves hit both opponent's splitting the damage. Outrage hits only one Poke and the target is random. You have no control over it. Dragonite certainly does learn Dragon Dance. It is what is called an Egg move. You breed a male Gyarados that knows Dragon Dance (Lv50) with a female Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite, and the baby will be born with the move. As I said before, Hyper Beam isn't a great last resort and Dragon Rage certainly isn't, especially against Metagross. While you are chipping away at 29% max damage with Hyper Beam or 40 HP damage (13%) with the pathetic Dragon Rage, Metagross can do 65% max damage with a Rock Slide or STAB Meteor Mash, or even a OHKO with Explosion. |
Holy crap you guys.
lol, this is a great argument. I say, just have your Dragonite use Explosion. That's my 3 cents, adjusted for the inflation of this silly conversation. edit: beaten on the Explosion, rofl |
Sorry, but Dragonite cannot learn Explosion, although an exploding Puff the Magic Dragon would be an interesting sight.

Get a good flying pokemon, go to the ember spa and go in heal there and then give your Dragonair a EXP.share. Go out use your vs trainer and fight all of the fighting trainers with fighting pokemon. go back into the spa to heal and by the time you get there and back the vs. seeker will be charged again. quick and easy.
