Dragonite
The classic dragon is still a viable raid attacker, though there are better options out there, you can't really go wrong with Dragonite.
Salamence
Everything said for Dragonite counts for Salamence as well. It's great, especially when you're starting off!
Metagross
While the likes of Zacian and Zamazenta have dethroned Metagross from its #1 spot, it's still a fantastic Steel type attacker.
Corviknight
 Nah, don't bother.
Garchomp
Garchomp has utility as both a Dragon and Ground type attacker, especially with that triple resistance to Electric type raid bosses.
Hydreigon
Hydreigon remains a solid Dark type raid attacker, but it does require an Elite TM to get Brutal swing which it desperatly needs!
