Best Dragonite Builds in Pokemon Champions

Dragonite has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The bulky physical attacker is the safest option, while the Dragon Dance build can become a late-game sweeper.

Build 1: Multiscale Physical Attacker

This is the main Dragonite build. It uses Multiscale to survive big hits and return pressure with strong Dragon and Flying-type damage.

Build 2: Dragon Dance Sweeper

This version focuses on setting up and sweeping late. It works best when your team can remove Fairy, Ice and Rock-type threats first.

Dragonite Stats

Dragonite stats are shown below for easy comparison.

Best Items for Dragonite

Lum Berry is the safest item because it protects Dragonite from burns, paralysis or sleep while it attacks or sets up.

Weakness Policy can turn Multiscale into a major offensive swing if Dragonite survives a super-effective hit.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Dragonite

Dragonite works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Dragonite Is Good Against

Dragonite is strong against Grass, Fighting, Bug and Fire-type Pokemon. Multiscale gives it a strong first-turn defensive advantage when it enters at full HP.

Extreme Speed lets Dragonite finish weakened targets before they can move.

Potential Counters for Dragonite

Dragonite is threatened by Ice, Rock, Dragon and Fairy-type attacks. Entry damage, chip damage and status can also make Multiscale less reliable.
