Also dragonite is great because of multiscale. Just to throw an idea out there... Maybe try using weakness policy in combination with multiscale and just dragon dance on that turn if you know you'll live.

I faced a Mandibuzz today and he wiped my Dragonite out in one hit with Foul Play. Most likely because I used Dragon Dance earlier. Pretty nifty. I managed to defeat the Pokemon that I face on a regular basis that I hate (Landorus and Conkuldurr) and defeated his Azumarill, but he disconnected right before I defeated it. It is very discouraging when that happens. That's good that Dragonite isn't banned though. Now I see why he isn't from recent battles.

EDIT: Oh man that was cool. I battled someone on my friends list who had a Durant and swapped the Truant ability with my Dragonite's Multiscale so it loafed around every other turn. I've never seen that before. I ended up beating it anyways, but it rendered my Dragonite nearly useless.

EDIT#2: So I was thinking with my Porygon2 having Analytic and all, should I aim for one with -ATK AND -SPEED? Right now it has 5IVs -ATK and since Analytic is only good when he moves second, maybe that would be more useful. Also, what would be a good nature/ev spread for Gardevoir as a special sweeper?
