Eh, I don't see much point for this - comparing these Pokemon within HGSS? Technically Dragonite should win as you don't have to trade or wait so long to get it in HGSS. =P
...I'll just move this to Poke General - it fits there more than anything.
Well, Salamence has Intimidate, so Dragonite's Dragon Claw or Outrage would be weakened, and Salamence is much faster, not to mention strong and Dragon Dance, and it could out dance Dragonite, and then Dragonite would be destroyed with 2 Outrages.
What some fans of the first generation will always invariably insist is superior regardless of anything anyone says: Dragonite
What's actually better: Salamence
Hmm, this is a hard one considering I love all Hoenn Poke'mon... but I'm gonna have to say Dragonite. I have one on my main team, and she is a life saver. <3
Im not going to go by power, so Im going to say Salamence. I fell in love with it first. But if this was Dragonair vs Salamence, that would be a different story however.
I can't help, but default on my nostalgic feelings of Dragonite. It was my first level 100 Pokemon and one of my team members when I first beat the Elite Four. We go way back.
That being said Salamence is fine. I have no ill will towards it.
