How to use Dragonite-Mega in the current VGC format

Dragonite-Mega is listed as a Dragon/Flying type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Dragonite-Mega fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Multiscale, Dragoninite and Adamant 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Protect, Draco Meteor, Hurricane, Earthquake, Extreme Speed, and Fire Punch. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Dragonite-Mega has important weaknesses to ice 4x, dragon 2x, fairy 2x, rock 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as rotom-wash, whimsicott, sneasler, archaludon, and incineroar appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
