I have the exact same dilemma. On one hand, hurricane might become legacy, on the other hand, it is really useless. Dragonite might get a flying type fast move, on the other hand, flying sucks. I think I am going to tm it to outrage as soon as the lati twins arrive. It will be a top counter which I can enjoy for 2 whole months. Now that we have lugia, I don't use outrage dragonite either...
Dragonite with Hurricane
There was a time when I truly coveted a Hurricane Dragonite to solo Machamp. I got one, and it made my life so much better against Machamp.
Fast forward to the present. I have a maxed Espeon (and over at 35), a maxed Alakazam (and one at 36), I have a level 35 Moltres that I like to use against steel moves (mostly for variety), I have a Mewtwo, plus other psychics around level 30. I find myself rarely using my precious Hurricane Dragonite any more. Should I try to tm him to outrage (I currently only have 2 other Dragonite, one with outrage and one with DM) or would you keep it at is? I'd like to be able to solo Jolteon on a windy day if possible and Hurricane just won't cut it.
Answers
I get your point, but the one thing I don't understand is all the hype for Espeon and Alakazam...one in the first slot is ok, but after that I will always take a Hurricane Dragonite over another glass canon which costs a lot of survives and are pretty rare at the moment. I used to use mine a lot and I still use one if I somehow end up doing a machamp solo. If you need a Dragon and you have the loss of a flying Dragon covered then go for it and TM but before I would ever put dust into multiple Alakazam or Espeon I would power up the Dragon regardless of moveset especially if you have a Mewto. I don't have one yet and Machamp goes down with Lugia, Ho-oh and Dragonite.
i had 5 good dragonites
100 dt/hu
95 dt/o
95 dt/o
93 dt/hu
75 db/dc
I Tm'd the 100% but left the 93% reasons
1. rayquaza is a superior flying dragon attacker if i need one
2. I rarely do machamp raids now anyway (have a full team and can duo ttar)
3. left 93% just in case made legacy and many alternative dragons due out in future.
