Contrary to usual Dragonite, he is playing in a new set which will ask your opponent to think carefully before attacking you.

Differents Options Team :
Friend Guard Set Up : + / /
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weakness Of The Team :
: Maushold-Four will find itself in difficulty VS Pokémon based on the Special because of its low investment ( 4 ). Another thing you definitely need to be careful of is not to be OHKO as all other Pokemon will be at your opponent's mercy due to the lack of Friend Guard. It will also be totally Wall by Specter-type Pokémon having only Super Fang to defend against.
+ + : None of his Pokémon will be able to OHKO if he doesn't set up putting you in danger for 1 turn so be very careful not to get caught before.
