DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Dragonite with Multiscale: "but not for me"
Imagine how good it would be in gen 8 with boots
@@kwayke9 It would be a walrus. Ridiculous.
@@reddragonair3147 Don't forget Heavy Duty Boots for Volcarona. 4X weakness to Rock gone while holding that item.
@@shadowtitanx3962 Oh it's coming soon enough. It'll probably get Pollen Puff once they finally release it, and then it'll be even better in doubles. That, and I can finally use one alongside Frosmoth just for kicks.
And you probably meant "Rocks", as in "Stealth Rock Rocks", since Boots don't negate the Rock- weakness; just damage from entry hazards.
@@reddragonair3147 also Pokemon with Inner Focus can't be Intimidated now, so Incineroar and Landorus will be in a big, I mean BIG trouble
Ah yes. Today we will be going over Lance's second Dragonite

Haha
@@flyforce16 Bro chill
Next year's entry will be "How INCREDIBLE was Dragonite ACTUALLY?!", and it will be an analysis of Lance's third Dragonite (yes, the dreaded level 50) in competitive history. Bring your Lapras.
@@heathc148 it's a joke
Lance saw the future, he has 3 dragonites because each could have a different set up for every battle
All three of them pack hyper beam. That should be enough to derail your statement between the three of them they have Blizzard, Thunder, and Fire Blast, and they all have a dragon type move and a status move in either thunder wave or safeguard. Actually now that i think about it all of his pokemon had hyper beam
@@mechayoshi9250 bruh it was a joke
@@mechayoshi9250 like obviously he didn't predict the future and be programmed with the 3 dragonites to have 3 different play styles
Actually im surprised there is no (to my knowledge) Gym leander, or AI trainer in general to have duplicate pokemon, all with different sets.
Just imagine Lance with 6 Dragonites using those sets in the Gen 5 review, 8 different types of playstyles and a rainbow of moves.
Dragonite in VGC Is totally viable, it has the ability "follow me" where both opposing pokemon instantly target it with ice moves.
and it also turns every move that targets it into an ice type
This ability is actually called "follow me, but cooler"
@@artandem9637Shut up and take my money!
You could say that everyone wants him to be cooler
@@ypob2007 garbage comment. You have been reported.
Dragonite: Exists.
Physical/Special Split: Imma start this mans whole Career.
Draco Meteor and Outrage's Buff: I'm helping!
no it didn't
Multiscale: Sup
Policy Weakness : Allow me to introduct myself.
Like really, why wasn't Dragon a physical type to begin with? And why the only Dragon attack in RBY was Dragon Rage? Why did they even bother making the Dragon type if they were going to f* up so thoroughly?
Also Dragonium Z and Flynium Z: Hey, I heard you like overpowered stuff, want more?

@@chow42 ice climbers reference
What if I said chain grabbing
I got it and I agree
*i'm getting wobbled in my favorite game, what do I do?*
Really sad we never got Mega Dragonite, because then we would have had a “Dragoniteite”
mega dragonites ability would be something like The first dragon which would increase any one of the stats of defence offence or speed depending on the situation after all lances dragonnites were based on defence power and speed
@@flamingrubys11
Or an immunity to ice attacks?
Honestly, I don't know why dragons are weak to ice, in myth and lore, dragons frequently made their homes in icy mountains.
@@FBI-ju5no cuz they are basically reptiles but bigger
@@daphenomenalz4100
That make their own heat, so your point is???
@@FBI-ju5no Giving it immunity to Ice would be way too much. Something something P-Groudon lol. Thick Fat would be a great Ice damage reduction but balanced.

The average Dragonite is a foot taller than the average Garchomp
And i am a foot taller than u.
@@joonatan003 Dang.
@Qunt Goblin I hope you realize that a foot is a real actual measurement of 12 inches
Zoofy Zoof i hope you realize that you’re a weapons grade moron
@Dawson That makes absolutely no sense at all and I don't understand what you're trying to tell me.
Can we just appreciate the fact that this OG Dragon has managed to go two decades. See all, do it all, rival other monsters of his kind and still have space to evolve within the current metagame? No matter what is done to stop it, it just comes back and hits them harder than it did before. Look out Incineroar, Landorus, for he is fire... and he is... Death.
no we can not.
however since I started at Pokemon blue I love every Dragon Pokemon
HES A DWAGON
Dragonite my beloved.
well they got banned in gen 8 lol
And his name is…
JOOOOOOOOHN SENNAAAAAAAAAA
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a Dragonite should be able to fly. It's wings are too small to get its fat giant body off the ground. Dragonite of course flies anyways, because Dragonites don't care what humans think is impossible.
Explain how electrode and diglet defecate
@@truepotential206 Diglett is a mole and we only ever see its head, the rest of its body is hidden underground. I mean, it also has access to stuff like Night Slash and Aerial Ace, so that means what we see in the games isn't the whole Diglett.
Voltorb/Electrode has a hidden butthole on its backside, of course. Game Freak just won't show it to us, there's mons like Suicune and Houndoom whose posteriors are very visible and they don't have buttholes either.
We're not jello, we help a fellow,green and yellow, hello
Just like the Helicopter. No one truly knows why or how it manages to fly…. But it does.
@@nathancottrill1363 woosher passing by; helicopters fly with thr rotating power of its rotors, like when you spin a ribbon? With your hands, the ribbons fly upwards. Rotating movement creates floating power
Is simply amazing to see how much False Swipe gaming improved the quality of its videos over the years and having a remake of its first videos with his improved narration and edition is just incredible
How GOOD was False Swipe Gaming ACTUALLY?
I'm pretty sure he did the gen 1 starters first before dragonite
Cuttlefish He was referring to the first video(s). Not the first video.
@@flyforce16 In the early meta of 2018 CZcams, FSG was certainly hit hard. His weird production cycle mixed with his niche content pushed him into RW tier (rarely watched) which put a ceiling on his potential. As the generations went by FSG gained a much wider movepool and buff to his stats allowing his videos to be made much better allowing a much better watch time. While not quite OW (OverWatched) he has had some performances at notable placements in the Meta with over million views on some videos.
@@FraserSouris he is certainly amazing in the competitive team style most of them lack the power to break throught a barrier competitive CZcamsr couldn't break it got to casual making it a staple to the teams style
Honestly I’m surprised Dragonite hasn’t gotten a Mega Evolution or a Gigantamax form (yet)
It hasn't gotten a Gmax form cuz it isn't even in Galar. Yet. Plus, we have too many Gmax forms of Genwunners. As for why it never had a Mega, well, then its stone would be called "Dragonite". Or "Dragonitenite". Or "Dragoniteite". 😂😂😂
Cintrón Productions
Yeah. Fair point.
@@cintronproductions9430 Dragonitite isn't complex to pronounce
@@leonardofarias8843 It sounds ridiculous tho, but eh, they named a move "Baddy Bad". XD
@@cintronproductions9430 I'd rather him have an exclusive 200 base power Z-move to reflect Outrage being his signature attack way back in GSC. Preferably one called "Flight of the First Dragon" that, if the target is a Fairy type, becomes a Flying type attack instead. "Dragonitium-Z", while very similar to the generic "Dragonium-Z", is a solid name.
And now, in a world where Inner Focus ignores Intimidate, Dragonite rises again
*yee*
It also gets breaking swipe to and roost
Multi scale is still better though right?

@@shouldveusedsafesearch8099 I have a feeling if Dragonite can take a STAB boosted Draco Meteor from Latios, it can handle a STAB boosted Outrage from Haxorus; especially if on that turn Dragonite used Dragon Dance
@@buttpiratesbuttpirate5913 it only takes Latios's draco because of multiscale, which gets negated by Haxorus's Mold Breaker
@@WaggishTyphlosion how? Mold Breaker allows the usage of moves, despite abilities. It doesn't negate abilities
@@buttpiratesbuttpirate5913 Mold Breaker, along with Teravolt and Turboblaze all bypass abilities.
Also you're severely underestimating Haxorus's Attack stat of base 147 compared to Latios's base 130 Sp. Attack. Also Dragonite is a bit more bulkier on the Sp. Defensive side than the Physical Defensive side.
Why is dragonite my favorite pseudo and still one of my favorite pokemon? He is a literal dragon who is sick as heck, crazy powerful, and is adorable/goofy at the same time.
And also has a cool shiny
@@penggao7034 eeeh the shiny looks like someone vomitted on it ngl. I really like dratini and dragonair tho.

Orange. But yeah he's awesome
When you started to point how powerful CB Dragonite, I remember something about a veteran 5 gen player trainer teach me some time ago: Consider using choice band Dragonite with sleep Talk. Why? Because of Amoongus and Breloom. Sleep is a broken status in Gen 5, so counter it is crucial to succeed in the meta. Choice Band Dragonite doesn't need so much coverage, specially in dragmag teams, so you can run Sleep Talk much like Palkia do in Ubers. Just a quick note about how game defining and versatile Dragonite was in gen 5, and why GameFreak introduced Fairies.
To add to this, sleeping inducing moves got banned in recent BW, so you don't need to run sleep talk anymore. Definitely a good option in gen 4 tho.
@@oipon1 Seriously? Well, the tip was from 6 months ago, so I'm not that surprised. It's a shame tough, because sleep is part of BW in the same way weather and Dragons are. A sleep absorber, restalk sets and fire types in general are reliable sleep counters due to the sleep clause. Example: Conkeldurr can gain a guts boost, so it can pretty much hard counter breloom, and Amoongus is so passive to check it.
But well, if they wanna ruin BW competitive scene filling the meta with Sand stall and Rain stall (Hard countered by Breloom's Spore), I don't care, I'm more fan of gen 4 OU.
Too bad as incredible as it is, Dragonite has too many weakness. It can't afford to be switch in unless it is an earthquake.
@@N12015 The main complain was that, from a competitive standpoint, sleep talk induced a lot randomness into the game between the 1/3 chances of pulling off the right move and potentially waking up and failing.
The discussion around it can be worth a look:
www.smogon.com/forums/threads/lets-rework-bw-sleep-clause-sleep-moves-now-banned-sleep-clause-lifted-post-40.3657777/
@@oipon1 Whatever, smogon is so "Random-fobic" at times, yet they allow Jirachi and Togekiss having that 70% Paraflinch, sleep in gen 1 and 2 (Which is as broken as gen 5 sleep or even worse) and Tauros or Snorlax in gen 1 or 2 despite having no counters (and the best check is explosion). Bad news for them, RNG and sleep is a huge element in pokemon, specially in gen 2.
Me: Oh, they're running out of pokemon to do that won't either take an hour to review (Ferrothorn, Heatran, the Rotoms) or Pokemon so bad, they just state it over and over again or make it a joke.
Remakes: *It's free real estate*
MrChillaxin2010 no there’s a lot but many of the old ones aren’t as good
Why won't they do Ferrothorn they talk about it as if it was a God?
Curtis King he will
When you define an entire meta-game by being able to fit on almost any team from the time you were introduced to current day, you are a poke-god.
He actually doesn't plan to do videos or Heatran, Ferrothorn, the Rotoms, etc., saying they take a while to do in 1 week and will be taken care of later is just an excuse!
Funny how these days its everywhere in ou and vgc, so happy for my boy

@@donaldmacisaac8479 explode on it
@@donaldmacisaac8479 gothitelle line : Hi fellow trapper
It wouldn't be that short. We first have things like Ferrothorn who is amazing in almost every format it lands, Garchomp, Wobbuffet, Blaziken in gen 5-7, Aegislash, Greninja and a ton of megas in gen 6, Naganadel and Pheromosa if you don't consider these legendaries (Even GF doesn't know what they're), and Cinderace, G-Darmanitan and Dracovish in gen 8, as well as brokenmax... no wait, the latter was banned from ubers as well.
Dragonite was one of the first non-legendary to have a base stat of 600, and its moveset would be monstrous to take advantage against those who have an advantage against it. Even in the future generations, Dragonite proves to be the worthy fighter.
Another really rare/neat thing about dragonite is that in the special split into attack and defense it retained its base 100 in both, keeping that base total high.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I cannot wait for Tyranitar’s remake, whenever that comes.
“Some people want wobbling- I mean Wrap banned.”
You know how to cater to us Melee fans...
This did bring a smile to my face
Funny thing is, its strongest set is now in gen 8 OU as a physical tank, checking all of the prominent attackers such as Garchomp, Kartana, Heatran, bisharp, dragapult, rillaboom, etc.
doesnt dragapult run a special set
It's strongest set is now in gen 9 with tera normal ddance
@@StandardSkilledCampdragonite isn’t too shabby on the special side either

Gotta say I was SHOOK that Dragonite didn't make the cut for Sword and Shield....it's PRETTY iconic....hopefully it's in the expansion pass.
I believe its confirmed via the original announcement that its coming back in the expansion. If you rewatch it you can find it in some of the footage

Yes
Gen 7 : Dragonite was held back by intimidate
Gen 8 : Inner Focus now Ignores Intimidate
Dragonite : Im her to kick ass and chew bubble gum, And im all out of bubble gum
also heavy duty boots
This sounds very crazy and gimmicky, but if you U-Turn Libero Cinderace on ally Runerigus, send in Dragonite, then Skill Swap Libero onto Dragonite, it could have coverage STAB against anything and cover some weaknesses.
Well that's terrifying
Might have to try that with Regigigas instead of Dragonite
Shoutout to the time where showdown hadn't implemented all the rules yet. Running 6 Dragonite teams was my idea of fun.
You can do it... In AG
using a dragonite in gen 8 with dragon dance, roost, dual wing beat, a fighting move, with multiscale and weakness policy makes it a beast. set up with max airstream and max knuckle, or tank a super effective move with multiscale and get weakness policy buffs. legitmate threat, can end your game in minutes.
Boots are the way to go

I'll never forget this channel coming out at the perfect time for me, your first video came out the weekend I broke up with my first serious girlfriend. We were very close but I wasn't happy anymore and I knew it would devastate her. I felt like the worst person in the world for a long time, and I remember playing your early videos over and over again for background noise and to keep me distracted when I knew I would be alone or have time to think. Was a very hard time for me, I will always appreciate having FSG to keep me company and a nice distraction during those times. Love you guys
Crazy. I just broke up with my girlfriend yesterday and feel the exact same. Such an awful feeling
tera normal ekiller dragonite exists now sooo
I’m so happy you remade this video, I think the original Dragonite video was the first video of yours I watched. I’ve always wanted a remake and can’t be happier. (Dragonite is also my favorite Pokémon)
Dragonite has always been my favorite dragon, especially as the new ones, Salamence and Garchomp came out. They were clearly created to define the metagame, while Dragonite is just an authentic, viable pokemon, and that has charm to me over deliberately brokemon
Update for violet and scarlet: terra normal extreme speed goes kinda dummy
And now Terastilized Normal Dragonite in Gen 9
4 Words: Tera Normal, Extreme Speed.
This video reminded me that Flying type really needs some powerful physical moves in the vein of stuff like Body Slam or Brick Break, that can be accessed by all Flying-types and not just the birds. Like, Drill Peck and Beak Blast are nice and all, but clearly bird-only. Maybe make Floaty Fall a standard non-exclusive move or something.
I'm sick and tired of Dragonite, Aerodactyl, and Gyarados not having good STABs.
Well. Funnily enough Dragonite made Fly actually good. 1 of the few pokemons that can use Fly.

@Noor Dene Fighting types moves are kind of the exception. Tyranitar is this Godzilla-like titan, and it is super powerful, so it makes sense. Also, the description for the move says, "the user attacks the foe with great power." Are you saying that Tyranitar couldn't attack its foes with great power?!

Speaking of remakes, you might need to redo this one again when the Scarlet/Violet DLC drops, it has definetly been influenced by the most recent gen and in turn shaped it.
If we never got Dragonite, we probably wouldn’t get some of the other amazing Dragon types we have now!
Oh hey Stickmaster.
And yeah, without Dragonite we probably would've never gotten a dragon typing in the first place.
Nah I think dragons would have been good anyway.

@@yaboidragonitehere1137 fun fact Kingra was made to rival dragonite
Now in gen 9 you have tera normal d dance extreme speed
It's crazy now, with tera normal extreme speed.
Me: why doesn’t Dragonite have a mega?
Also me: *runs into one* ohhhhh, that’s why.
Also because it's megastone would be names dragoniteite
A mega dragonite would be about as strong as kyogre or groudon
A Mega Dragonite sounds absolutely disgusting. Remember Mega Salamence how it was able to set up easily with intimidate and good physical bulk? Well Dragonite has multiscale lol. So that’s a nearly guaranteed dragon dance against almost everything and then it Megas and likely gains attack, speed, and a new offensive ability. Imagine a mega Dragonite with like tough claws or even give it Salamence’s ability Aerialate.
I remember asking for the FIRST Dragonite video years ago. Your videos are still informative and top-notch!
YES! I'm SO happy to see that you're open to remaking your old videos! I personally can't really enjoy the older videos, but I also just love your content as a whole, so seeing them get remade is UTTERLY fantastic! The higher production quality absolutely justifies all the work put into it! I look forward to future remakes, alongside new stuff! Fingers crossed for a Tauros video remake!

Roar of Time is a recharge move.
After tera you need to make this one more time.
Anyone else pumped for him to cover Gen 3 Charizard he completely skipped over in his very first video?
Moose Ears Still, it’s the only time iirc a gen was ever skipped over. That’s something I’ve always found interesting at the very least.

Brad Schaefer Thank god for the new format. I remember just hearing during the old vids about any kind of Nieche in OU. Thank god they dropped that, finally.
These redo's are a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! The channel has improved a lot and I think it's a great idea. Also Dragonite is one of my absolute favorite mons so I'm always happy to see more of him.
Next: How good was Pimpnite actually?
@Togepiss then banned from ubers
You're missing the real question.
How good are Dragonite's hugs really?
Awesome. That's the answer.
somehow that is easy to believe. Who won't want to get a hug from a gentle giant dragon?
I can imagine it being really nice to hug
Dragonite: The one gen 1 pokemon that has remained in OU throughout every single gen and avoiding the fate of becoming irrelevant. Pouring one out to the Tauros, Persian, and executor peeps out there
Wasn't Starmie an OU staple every time? At least Kellen said that back in the day, I don't know what happened to poor Misty after gen 6.
@@IceSpoon Starmie was OU until Gen 7, when Greninja returned to OU.
Scorpion Cox I mean *technically* it was UU in Gen 1, but considering it was way worse there than in OU, I guess that hardly counts.
It’s BL in gen 7
Gengar was OU or atleast useable in OU
Multiscale

Dragonite has always been my favorite pseudo. I remember destroying my friend with it every time we faced eachother
This made me very happy to see. Thank you for doing this video, and it was a great kickoff to what I know will be a great series of remakes. Great job.
The fact that Ash has caught a Dragonite and even a Gengar here recently is beyond amazing! Can't wait to see Ash's Dragonite in battles!
hang on, what? was it in the new episodes of the anime?
yUH Jerkysmoe yes, there’s even talk about him potentially getting a riolu/ lucario as well
oh great. of course they are prioritizing popular pokemon...
It's really good for their marketing, but I'm sick and tired of seeing gengar, lucario, charizard and other gen 1 mons everywhere...
yUH Jerkysmoe ah yes, I love playing with Lucario in Gen 1.

29:50 WHY IS TOGEDEMARU SO BIG
It must be a Totem Togedemaru you can get from Alolan Oak.
If you collect totem stickers, then you can get totem-sized pokemon

Let's not talk about dragonite having access to iron head too.
Almost 3 years of watching this channel. Love these competitive analysis. Keep up the good work
After listening to your older video you have definitely improved. The faster speaking pace makes the most difference.
dragonite: the little dragon that always found a way.
This was a FANTASTIC episode!! Such a cool Pokemon with such wild history. Thanks, guys!
What I like most about the new vids vs the old ones is the volume and enthusiasm of your voice. Your first vids got kinda dull, but now you keep the energy high and it's great.

*WeedleTwineedle intensifies*
You thought it was going to be Exadrill but it was me Dragonite.
2:06 “some players wanted wobbli- I mean wrap banned.” lmao
Wow!! Really well done! Congrats on this video!
I know it’ll take a while but I can’t wait for Latias!!
And yes, Dragonite is one of my favorite Pokémon to use as a mix attacker!
I picture dragonite being handed multiscale and then going off like heavy in meet the medic
I can't wait to finally utilize dragonite in the dlc. I love it even more ever since ash caught one. Now if I only I can have a good name for it.
name it the true dragon
