Dragonites movesets ranked(offence)
So I decided it would be fun to make a fun little list of all of his currently obtainable sets for attacking in this meta.
1.DT/OR(pro SE vs other Dragonites)
2.SW/OR(pro SE vs D-nite & T-rex & Rhydon/ NE vs Vaporeon)
3.DT/HB(Pro SE vs D-nite/Con NE vs T-rex & Rhydon)
4.DT/HU(Pro SE vs D-nite/Con NE vs T-rex & Rhydon & Amph)
5.SW/HB(Pro/Con SE&NE T-rex & Rhydon/ NE vs Vaporeon)
6.SW/HU(Pro/Con SE&NE vs T-rex & Rhydon/ and NE vs Ampharos & Vaporeon)
Now this is based off of SE & NE bonuses and nothing almost nothing else. Also I have been including Ampharos in because more people have been putting VS ampharoses in so I thought it was worth mentioning.

Having great stab moves is huge for him. And that is his strong suit. While mons that have huge base stats like a B/SE Tyranitar may have great places where they really excell nothing checks all of the boxes like a Dragon moves Dragonite. He has huge stats and is generally I resisted by nothing that matters and anything that resusts him right now is too weak to discuss as a defender.
But as time goes on more exact counters will be obtained and while his stock may hold steady it is unlikely to increase.
Been wondering if I should power up my 91% steel wing outrage dragonite. It has its pros and cons. I actually posted a question about it earlier today. It's the second dragonite I've evolved. I have a legacy dragonite with breath and claw that's 60% and he beasts stuff. I'm kinda looking at it like: it's no dragon tail but it's still guna be a beast even with steenwing since it knows outrage.
My opinion:
For defense yes of course, Hurricane hits fast and it gains high CP for gym placement.
For offensive: I wouldn't. SW is effective against Rhydon, but Hurricane is not. SW is also not SE against Vaporeon and Gyarados. It's still great as it's a Dragonite, but a DT+O/H or legacy DB/DC is really better.
