Dragonite Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Modest

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack

Since Dragonite can work as either a Physical or Special Attacker, its Best Nature is either Adamant or Modest, depending on how you plan to build its EVs and Moves.

Give Dragonite Adamant if you want to use it as a Physical Attacker, and Modest if you want to build it as a Special Attacker instead.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Brave ↑ Attack, ↓ Speed
Quiet ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Speed

You can also give Dragonite either Brave or Quiet nature, allowing you to use both of its Physical and Special moves without much downside.

Keep in mind that giving Dragonite any of the above two natures will increase the cooldown of moves, potentially making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Dragonite has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Dragonite Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Outrage Pokemon Dragon Type Icon 15
Fire Punch Pokemon Fire Type Icon 7
Extreme Speed Pokemon Normal Type Icon 3
Aerial Ace Pokemon Flying Type Icon 9

We recommend the moves Outrage, Extreme Speed, Aerial Ace, and Fire Punch when using Dragonite during the main story.
