Dragonite is mono-Dragon in Plus. This lose of Flying typing makes him only x2 weak to Ice. He now resists electricity and takes neutral damage from Rocks. His draconic attacks are very strong, especially his signature Thrash (think Outrage). Dragonite also has the highest attack of any Dragon, so Double-Edge and Hyper beam help him to not be totally walled by pokemon like Chansey and Vaporeon. Constrict replaces Thunder Wave to paralyze foes, and legal Horn Drill is also an option. This Dragon is truly outrageous!
Dragonite's loss of Flying typing shows the Dragon type off more, being resistant to four Special types. He can attack everything with Thrash, but it can miss and is easily walled by high Special Pokemon. Dragonite has many other options though including all his Special moves and enough Attack that could make him a mixed sweeper. Constrict with Horn Drill is another possibility. Dragonite has problems against other Dragons though as he is tied for the slowest with them. |

Dragonite loses his Flying typing and becomes a pure Dragon type, a very powerful defensive typing being only weak to Ice and itself while resisting four different types. He also gains multiple STAB moves, with Thrash as the signature move - a base 140 move without anyone resisting it that you can use turn after turn is certainly something to fear. He also has one of the highest Attack stats in the game, an incredible 368, but not a lot of moves to use it on. Back to the movepool - Constrict is his paralysis move of choice that can hit anything, but without perfect accuracy like Thunder Wave. Rest is an option to abuse the bulk and resistances that come with a Dragon typing. Watch out for special walls with Ice attacks.
