Funky Dragonite Wonderwall Inspired by ASilentNinjah from Youtube
Sorry got Oasis stuck in my head.... It's actually a special wall.
Another superbly weird and unexpected use for dragonite. This one actually reaches it's full potential in support of one of our other sets. You know that weird Metagross wallish thingy? Well take a second and look at what the weakness of the metagross wall are. Doesn't dragonite resist both of them? Ok well now look at the weaknesses of this here dragonite. Doesn't Metagross resist them both? With a lot of crafty switching, you can completely wall off an attacker.
Evs: 252 hp/ 252 Sp Def / 6 Def
Item: Leftovers
Movesets:
Roost
Light Screen
Will o Wisp/ Dragon Claw
Roar / Heal Bell / Safeguard
Between Roost and Light screen, you should just shrug off Special attacks, even from the most powerful of special attacking foes. Only Ice beams truly threaten this giant dragon, but even so without higher than 135 Base plus full Ev's and a STAB blizzard do you even come close to OHKOing the mighty dragon. Will o wisp is for physical attackers. Dragon claw causes damage. Roar is great if you have something on your team that has set up spikes or stealth rocks. Heal bell is overall an awesome move. Safeguard works well at reflecting statuses.
Counters:
Once you get a light screen up, any that gets Stab and has over 412 SPA on a blizzard has a chance of OHKOing dragonite. I can't think of anything that can do that... I guess something with choice specs might be able to do it. abomnasnow comes to mind. Stab Ice Beams with higher than 520 SPA also has a chance to OHKO this dragonite after an Ice beam is up. Non STAB Ice beams need over 783 SPA to OHKO. So basically you would need atleast 392 SPA to have a possibility of 2HKOing Dragonite with Ice beams. But all these calculations are useless anyways, if you followed my advice, you would switch to metagross on the Ice attack. Without Ice attacks, lets say it was a normal attack.... of equal power to Ice beam, I'll use Porygon-Z, lets say they have the ability adaptability, which makes their stabs at 2x. Let's say that it's modest. It fails to OHKO a dragonite after a Nasty plot, with hyperbeam.
WEAVILES ARE DANGEROUS AND WILL OHKO YOU BEFORE YOU CAN BURN THEM!!!! SO ARE DONPHANS AND OTHER ICE SHARD USERS. There I think I made my point. basically fast physical attackers... But this is a physical wall not meant to take special attacks.
Overalll:
same sort of special wall. Works well. Works very very well with the metagross combo.
