Guide
Don't pick Twister first, it's awful. Dragon breath gives you a boosted attack, so if you already have it, use it, then use dragon breath, then use another boosted.
DD and HB are sadly the only good moveset right now. They enhance your already great ranged attack further, while hyper beam does ridiculous damage and is the best objective secure in the game, and there is no close second at all.
Since your entire build revolves around using autos to lower your cooldowns, cycle through your elemental effects faster, build dragon dance stacks for hyper beam, and just in general dish out ranged damage, Muscle Band is your best item due to the attack speed increase. Everything else is a nice bonus.
Scope Lens supplements your damage as you're building Dragon Dance stacks, makes your lane/jungle clears faster, and gives you more last hit potential in early-game.
You have the most spammable unite move in the game, Buddy Barrier is good on everything, not much else to say. You can use it in conjunction with your scoring items to get tons of free and easy scores if you'd prefer to run those instead.
I've seen Dragonite ran everywhere. I've seen it in both top and bottom in 113, and I've seen it in every lane in 212, so it doesn't matter where you run it. It's a good laner, so don't just automatically insist on jungle if there's a Greninja, Cinderace, Tsareena, Absol, Charizard, Decidueye, Gardevoir, or Talonflame who could use it more.
Other good held items to alternate Scope Lens between are Focus Band and Score Shield. Other great battle items are Full Heal and Goal Getter.
