Dragonite is a spectacular Dragon and Flying-typed Pokemon. It's pretty common to find yourself dealing with Dragonite when battling in the 1st generation meta. Dragonite is typically seen in the UU tier (Underused). There were no known abilities or equippable items back in the Red/Blue Pokemon games. Dragonite is weak to Dragon, Normal, and Rock-typed attacks.
Species: Dragonite Moveset: - Double-Edge / Body Slam - Thunder Wave - Reflect - Toxic
Physical Sweeper Dragonite (Retro)
Dragonite is a decent Physical Sweeper in single battles. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. The game was competely different back in Generation 1. Back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 100-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Thunder Wave is a status move (paralyzes the target). ♦ Reflect is a status move (while active, your Dragonite's defense is doubled). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
