Pokemon Go Dragonite best PvP moveset

Dragonite’s best PvP moveset consists of Dragon Breath as a Fast Move and Superpower as a Charged Move.

Dragon Breath is a tad less powerful than Dragon Tail, however, it still benefits from STAB and other breakpoints.

As a Fighting-type Charged Move, Superpower offers more coverage against Steel, Ice, and Rock-type Pokemon. Dragon Claw is another viable option as it has a low energy cost while dealing an important amount of damage.

If you can afford a second Charged Move, the ideal plan would be to spam with Dragon Claw and then power up Superpower.
