Verdict
Situational
Mega Dragonite is a solid but not elite Normal-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#9) in raid performance. With a max CP of 5,452 and base stats of 299/255/209, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Normal-type counters. The best moveset is Dragon Tail paired with Hyper Beam. Consider investing if you need a Normal-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
In PvP (Master League), Mega Dragonite is ranked #28 (Tier C) with a 62.37% win rate.
