Rogue Mega Dragonite is a fairly challenging boss fight, but it has the following weaknesses you can exploit: 

  • Rock
  • Ice
  • Dragon
  • Fairy

Keeping these weaknesses in mind, we suggest bringing the following Pokemon: 

  • Aerodactyl
  • Aggron
  • Frosslass
  • Glalie
  • Gardevoir

Once the fight begins, you have to watch out for the following attacks: 

  • Air Slash: Dragonite will send a piercing air wave in your direction. Side-step this attack to stay safe. 
  • Flamethrower: Dragonite will breathe fire at you. Keep running sideways to avoid this. 
  • Outrage: This is a melee attack, so you can dodge this by stepping back. 
  • Hurricane and Lightning: Dragonite will turn the arena into hell by summoning tons of mini hurricanes accompanied by lightning bolts. Keep running non-stop to dodge these. 

Stay on the move and exploit the boss’s weaknesses to win this fight.
