Looking for a competitive moveset for Dratini? These builds are optimized for Black/White Single Battles. The movesets and EVs are designed to maximize damage against common opponents and threats in the Black/White metagame. Check out the expert movesets below to boost your battle performance and dominate your opponents!
Unleash the power of Dratini, a remarkable Pokémon with Dragon typing. Dratini is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield. The LC tier (Little Cup) is where it shines. Its only type-related weaknesses are Dragon and Ice. Explore the movesets below to see how Dratini performs in battles.
Dratini is a pretty decent Physical Sweeper. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Focus Sash helps protect Dratini from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Flame Orb will burn Dratini at the end of the turn which will activate Dratini's Marvel Scale ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Marvel Scale, if Dratini is statused its defense is 1.5x. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Marvel Scale to seriously give Dratini a sweet boost.
♦ Outrage is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Dragon-type move (lasts 2-3 turns. confuses your Dratini afterwards). ♦ Dragon Tail is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Dragon-type move (forces the target to switch to a random ally). ♦ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Dratini is burn/poison/paralyzed). ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil). ♦ Aqua Tail is a physical 90-base power Water-type move that deals a substantial amount of damage. ♦ Waterfall is a physical 80-base power Water-type move (20% chance to flinch the target). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Dratini this turn).
