Which is better dragonite or salamence

Anyway it doesn't even matter because you could beat it with anything. Second part you are right but what I ment is that most people already have some powered up Dragonites and the tiny difference between them won't be worth it to use all that dust.

I need to know who's better and please write the moveset you recommend for the Pokemon you chose. Salamence is usually considered better because it's faster, stronger if only by just a bit, on the Physical side and Intimidate and higher HP means that it has around the same bulk except on the Special side. I agree with sano83, though, their Movepools are pretty similar and, if you're just playing through the in-game, using any of them will be fine, since they're stronger than most other things, anyway.

Technically, if you're running Physical, Salamence is the better option because of the higher Attack and because the best options on that side are pretty much the same for both substituting Wing Attack for Aerial Ace, if you want Flying STAB, which is actually better because it can't fail. Special sees Dragonite as having a wider relevant Movepool but Salamence has a few niche Moves like Crunch and, through Breeding, Hydro Pump, which Dragonite doesn't get access to.

So, again, technically Salamence is better in almost every situation, but they are so similar that, especially for in-game purposes, running one or the other won't hinder you in any significant way.

Assuming that this is for in game only. The moveset depends on what your team. It can still use Superpower, but compared to Salamence's Outrage spamming, it's pretty useless in this department, especially because he can't use MultiScale to it's fullest. Salamence wins his second one. Shuffler: Dragonite defines the word 'ParaShuffler'.

It's super-annoying to most teams I make, even more so than Whimsicott, and that's saying a lot. All Salamence can shuffle is Toxic, which can be done with Toxic Spikes anyway. Dragonite wins, and claims the trophy of the better Dragon. There's still one more viable set, and I will discuss it. Salamence could spam lots of epic HP Flyings all over the place Yeah, not anymore.

Salamence won this last Generation and the Generation before, but because of TrollFreak's Trolling skills, all those Salamence fans had to suffer and see Dragonite shoot up in usage because of the best ability in the game. They both love spamming Outrages, but Haxorus is better than both of these combined, then put on Steroids.

Yeah, Dragonite wins this, because his Choise Band set actually made it onto the analysis. Overall, it looks like the argument is settled, with Dragonite coming out with the crown. He is clearly more suited to the current Metagame. His bulk is just too much Please comment, I'd love to hear all of your feedback.

I knew you were going to make a thread concerning the issue of mence vs. Anyways, I'l start with the offensive dragon dance. I do agree looking at only those two, mence is going to pull off an offensive sweep a lot better due to its better speed atk diff is not big enough to worth mentioning. Some people could make an argument that even on offensive sets, dragonite still holds its ground due to multiscale it's actually pretty easy to keep multiscale.

Overall, mence for offensive dd variants. Bulky DD Choice Specs is a tricky one to be honest, I actually think SpecsNite under rain is quite awesome.

Defensive and Shuffler for dragonite hands down. Though, mence does have wish, which can be quite nice even though there are better wishers. CB variant I am actually going to say dragonite as well just because of its bulky but to be honest, I'd also rather use haxorus than either of them. Oh and I don't like moxie due to the fact that outrage and roost can't be used on mence.

It's sort of like choosing between latias and latios. Also, to add insult to fail, it's only a one stage boost. Top that off with outrage being illegal with moxie, I can't really see it being used. Outrage is gen IV tutor only, for now.

Olijolly said:. Meh, I guess. However, I will agree with you on your point on how multiscale is still a huge factor. Spoook said:. Everybody forgets about Agilitynite With Multiscale it's a piece of cake to pull it off and proceed to outspeed everything.

Go Dragonite! I pretty much agree on all the other stuff. I really think Specs Mence is much better than Specs Nite. Also Dnite in the rain calls in specially defensive pokes, where salamence generally lures physically defensive pokes that get wreaked by his moves.

Also since you dont have roost. Intimidate is great for softening the blows as you switch in, letting you get in on random stuff and hitting the switch in with Draco Meteor. Also Salamence as Special Attack versus Dragonites adding some extra bite. Oh gosh, I think I'm the one who caused this thread The thing is, I really think they've been made different enough to be incomparable at this point. Someone made an analogy to Latias vs Latios, and I think it's very fitting.

If you know exactly what role you want to be filled, then they won't both be competing for it.
