Right now, I'm trying to hatch a Dratini, which I'll eventually train into a Dragonite. I want to know if this is a good set for it. It's for Diamond/Pearl.

Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers / Wide Lens ** Mudbone
Ability: Inner Focus
Anticipated IVs: 30 HP / 28 Atk / 20 Def / 29 Spd / XX SAtk / 20 SDef
EVs: 124 HP / 196 Atk / 188 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Rush
- Earthquake
- Thunderpunch / Thunder
I run with Dragon Rush because I'm heavily concerned about damage. Also because of the fact that even 75% Acc moves are always on my side ;)

Need help deciding on Thunderpunch or Thunder. Thunderpunch is nice for Physical advantage, except Thunder can guarantee a OHKO on things like Gyarados and can guarantee a 2HKO on Skarmory.

The EVs are made so that with 1 Dragon Dance, I can outspeed anything that has under 361 Speed, and with the HP, it can easily withstand a blow from anything (except Ice Attacks :x) so that it can actually live to pull a Dragon Dance.


Now it's easy to tell that Bulky Waters counter it, but I have my ways of bypassing those. =)

Comments?

Even with Wide Lens, Dragon Rush's average power is still only 77 (100 power x77% accuacy), which is less than Dragon Claw's 80. And considering that DD Dragonite is primarily used a late game sweeper, missing is sometime you don't want to do.

Give it Life Orb and make its Dragon attack be either Dragon Claw (if you're using it as a late game sweeper) or Outrage (if it's going to be your main sweeper).
