    Default Best Dragon Dancer

    Well, Who is the best DDer? Id have to say Scrafty, he's the only one that has good defenses and has a a bigger chance of getting 3 DDs up than any1. 6-0 games are very common with him.

    for the current metagame, i think i'd have to agree in that scrafty is the most threatening dragon dancer. not only does he have the bulk to set up a dd or two, but his STABs + ice punch provide incredible coverage among the top bw threats. on top of that, he can choose between drain punch and hjk: the former being able to keep scrafty healthy and allow it to rip apart offense, while hjk lets scrafty muscle it's way past stall with a little bit of support. the only blemish on scrafty would probably be his lack of immediate power taking his 90 base atk into consideration. in comparison to tyranitar's, dragonite's, gyarados' and salamence's 125+ atk, 90 is pretty low, which can sometimes catapult some of those just mentioned to perform better than scrafty in certain situations.

    Scrafty is deadly you can tell when he puts his hood on.

    I would have to say scrafty, because even with no investments in defense, he can take a physical and special hit, and drain punch the damage off.

    I gotta say Dragonite..with Multiscale he can usually get two to three up and Roost to Recover. From there I smell a sweep.

    In OU, I'd say Scrafty's ginormous bulk helps it a lot. In Ubers, I'd say either Swift Swim Kingdra or Raquaza.


    Kyogre = powerful = Scizor = Bug/Steel = Durant = BL2 = Venomoth = Baton Passer = Smeargle = Low stats = Magikarp = Water-typed = Kyogre. Therefore, Kyogre = Magikarp.

    Multiscale Dragonite is the best DD'er because it can usually set up about 2 DDs thanks to its bulk and then either heal and reactivate Multiscale with Roost or start using Dragon Claw/another attacking move.

    Dragonite and Salamence. Scrafty's ok, but he lacks the immediate speed and power. Sala can wreck teams after one DD. Oh, and if you wanna go for a suprise DDer, Physical Latios. :0 No one ever expects him, meaning you can get a DD or 2 up while the opponent switches to some pokemon to counter 'Draco Meteor'.

    In my experience, Scrafty usually has to get 2 or 3 DD's up to outspeed stuff....
    Kingdra (with SS) or Salamence. GG.

    Dragonite can get in alot thanks to Multiscale and roost. It also has a 134 base attack making it much more threating then Scrafty. It also has ExtreemeSpeed and a higher base speed to work with.

    Easily Dragonite because Multiscale guarantees it a Dragon Dance and it gets access to Roost. Dragonite can also function as a Bulky Mixed Dragon Dance, which not even Salamence can say, due to its lack of Bulk. Scrafty is good, but pretty overrated, considering it needs to get a few DDs up before it can cause massive amounts of damage.

    I would have to go with Scrafty or Dragonite on this one. It's a little surprising that Scrafty knows Dragon Dance, but it's able to use its Natural Bulk to set up and start demolishing with its STAB/whatever move. Dragonite's Multiscale really is something though, which can help out a good amount (and requires less turns to setup).

    Overall: Rayquaza.

    Excluding banned pokemon: Salamence, closely followed by Dragonite. However, I think Salamence will destroy teams when it's DW ability is released.

    Probably Dragonite, just because Multi-Scale enables it to easily get at least 1 or 2.

    I don't know about best, but Feraligatr is good. It can almost be unstoppable with 1-2 dragon dances.

    Scrafty. Dragonite works better now with other sets, like a more bulky attacking set. Scrafty is the best for me, he won me so many battles.
    Yep we should ban baton pass, and weather too. Oh and Trick Room, I'm tired of having to worry about Trick Room all the time. Just ban the move Trick Room, and prankster, it's broken. Ban all status moves on prankster users, they're too cheap. Oh and ban Probopass to it's so cheap. Just ban everything except Magikarp with splash.
    Well, actually Blaziken isn't really Uber because some people whined about how they were getting owned by it. I mean, it doesn't stand a chance in the Uber enviroment.

    Not really. He reaches 354 with Jolly after one Dragon Dance. That means he can outspeed Thundurus, Tornadus, and all the base 110s.

    True, but Thundurus could see it coming and priority T-Wave and proceed to murder.

    But this isn't about the soon-to-be-banned grandpa. I'd have to say Dragonite, Closely followed by Salamence, Dragonite because of his bulk and Multiscale but Salamence can rip whole teams apart that arn't prepared for it, also works as a late-game sweeper.
