Maybe. I've never been so addicted to it in my life. Ever since I started trading and learning more about competitive battling I became much more intrigued with it. I can't let it take over my summer though. Not after Animal Crossing... I have to pry myself away from it for a break because I have been super glued to this thing.
EDIT: By the way, Dragonite isn't banned from anything right? Because this is insane how good he is. I defeated an entire team again with just him.

Oh, Smogon recommended Bold on that page since neither of the offensive stats mattered since Mandibuzz didn't typically run Knock Off since it sucked in BW. On the website, they only have the BW analyses which are somewhat outdated. They probably did Bold to minimize the attack as much as possible. When a mon doesn't use any physical moves, I always run 0 IVs and a reducing nature like Timid or Bold since attack stat still factors in to confusion damage and Foul Play. So when Special attackers that have a high Attack stat (like Special Tyranitar or Hydreigon) get confused or hit by FP, it minimizes damage from it.
And no, Dragonite isn't banned. It's one of the most common mons in OU, though. I'm not sure what cartridge meta is like, but heavy importance on hazards and U-turn/Volt Switch are a thing on Showdown and it really hinders Dragonite's effectiveness.
