You can run a bulky set on Excadrill, his resistances make up for his relatively weak defenses. I still prefer a Scarf set with Spin though, it's more reliable.

I guess you could go for specially defensive offensive 252hp/252spdef/4def with foul play/knock off/roost/taunt but try to get a bold nature since mandibuzz was made to wreck physical attackers (bold) 252hp/252def/4spdef(?) Same moveset

P.S. Talon thank you for this lovely Dragonite combination. It has been wiping out so many Pokemon for me. One guy rage quit though because I killed 3 of his pokemon with Staraptor in one hit and killed the rest in one hit with Dragonite. I really hate when people do that. I don't think I've disconnected even once.

I prefer Mandibuzz running 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SDef on Impish nature, with the moves Foul Play, Roost, Knock Off, and either Defog or Taunt based on what your team needs. I personally prefer this over a Specially defensive because its typing isn't built to take Special attacks; a considerable amount being BoltBeam (Ice/Elec), and no amount of investment can prevent KOs from them. 248 HP instead of 252 HP for an odd amount of HP, so you take 24% from Stealth Rock instead of 25%, since it rounds down. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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?
