[B~T]

Oh, I'm overhauling my competitive team(again).

What's going to be your competitive team?

And it's time for B~T's POKEMON REVIEWS!!! Since Twilight asked first...
DRAGONITE!!!

Type: DRAGON/FLYING
Ability: Inner Focus - This ability prevents flinching. However, it will not nullify Focus Punch flinches.
Tier:  OU
Stats:

HP	91
Atck	134
Def	95
Sp. Atck	100
Sp. Def	100
Speed	80

Author's Opinion: Many say that this Pokemo is completely inferior to Salamence. For the most part, it is true, but it has a few things Salamence does not have. It has higher Defenses, as well as access to Thunderbolt, Superpower, and Fire Punch. It also has Light Screen to reduce the damage from Ice Beam, which would otherwise OHKO Salamence.

Hey, this Pokemon is special to me, because it was the first IV Trained Pokemon I had captured. Yes, I EV Trained it and pwned Blade on Wi-Fi with it.

Recommended Movesets:
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
Item: Leftovers/Yache Berry
EVs: 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed
~ Dragon Dance
~ Outrage
~ Earthquake
~ Fire Punch

The Dragon Dancer that mimics Salamence with the exception of Fire Punch. Dragon Dance up, and sweep. Very deadly. N'uf said. Just that Dragonite gained Fire Punch.
Nature: Rash/Mild
Item: Life Orb
EVs: 112 Attack/196 Sp. Attack/200Speed
~ Superpower
~ Draco Meteor
~ Flamethrower/Fire Blast
~ Thunderbolt/Roost

This is what sets Dragonite from Salamence. Superpower gives it a better option and can deal more damage than Salamence's Brick Break. Draco Meteor can help bring down Physical Walls such as Swampert who is immune to Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt is also a good way to deal with Bulky Waters *stares at Gyarados*. Roost is an option as well.

Countering Dragonite:

Ice Beam will only 2HKO on most cases since it has higher Special Defense than Salamence, and can hit back with the preferred move or Dragon Dance up to sweep, thus it isn't a direct counter.

Swampert and other Bulky Waters can wall the Dragon Dance set and hit back with Ice Beam. Cresselia is the same case, but beware of repeated Outrages/Draco Meteor.

Ice Shard is the bane of Dragonite's existence, since it doesn't affect Dragon Dance. Weavile and Mamoswine are examples of good Ice Shard users, hitting on its weaker Defense. However, beware switching in on Fire Moves.

Skarmory can laugh off Dragonite's attacks not named Fire Blast and can Whirlwind boosts away.

Scizor can switch in to any non-Fire attack and KO a Dragonite at low health with Bullet Punch.
