Moveset analysis
For raids and gyms, Mega Dragonite runs Steel Wing with Draco Meteor — 16.7 DPS and 368 TDO as a Steel-type attacker. It also covers the Normal slot with Dragon Tail and Hyper Beam.
In Master League it runs Steel Wing and Draco Meteor. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.
The highest-damage fast move is Dragon Tail (14 DPS); Dragon Breath builds energy fastest (8 EPS). Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse are Elite TM moves and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Is Mega Dragonite good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Mega Dragonite is a Tier A Steel-type attacker at rank #9, so the Stardust pays for itself in raid damage. Take it to level 40 first; XL Candy to 50 only matters once you already have a full team of six.
- Attack is its highest stat (299), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 8 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
