Threats

Weak to Multiscale-breakers and Fairy types

Mega Dragonite's appeal is Multiscale bulk, but Stealth Rock or Triple Axel piercing through it are threats. Also, without Iron Head, it lacks Fairy coverage and faces disadvantage, so be careful.

Alternative Move Options

Iron Head as Fairy counter is viable
