Need help with a Dragonite Moveset.

[Steelix8]

I just evolved up my shiny Dragonar to a Dragonite after EV training him. I was wondering what moveset I should give him. Anything not in bold, is something I need a suggestion for.

Dragonite (Shiny) @ ???
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 58/252/0/0/0/200
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch?
- Dragon Claw?

I don't know whether to give him Thunder or Fire Punch. Fire hits Bronzong and Metagross, but Thunderpunch gets Gyarados and other Dragonites, and both hit Skarmory. No idea on an item, any suggestions?

Thanks!

If you're going to give it Dragon Dance, give it Outrage over Dragon Claw. When Steel-types are eliminated and it's late game, Dragonite will be your key to victory.

Mence does a better job if you want to use that Set , the best thing about Dragonite is DD Outrage.

My favorite set is:

DD
Outrage
Substitute
Focus Punch

It may look weird, but it works like a charm ;D

If you want the standard, then go with: DD, Outrage, Fire Punch, EQ

I'm a fan of the Dancing & Outrageous Subpuncher set as well flamehaze. I didn't think anyone else used that.

Interesting set flamehaze, I gotta try that out...

But posting EVs in amore...easy way to read would be better, seriously. Knowing its standard EVs I know what you mean, but I otherwise wouldn't, trust me...

BTW DDmence is overrated like Soulja Boy or Fergie, seriously. DDnite >>>>>>>>> DDmence IMO (because I'm craxy and proud)

Item can be Lum Berry to stop status and all that crap, or you can go Lefites/Life Orb/Yache Berry. Yache Berry sorta sucks though.

And like others have said, needs more outrage and less dragon claw, as 120 base power WILL sweep lots of stuff.
