Serebii Suggestion
Serebii
Item: Yache Berry / Lum Berry / Life Orb / Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Moves:Dragon Dance
Outrage
Earthquake
Fire Punch / Roost
Usage:Dragon Dance (once or twice) then seep. Outrage already has base 120 with STAB, so it can be come quite powerful. Though there is a drawback being stuck with the move 2-3 turns then being left with confusion. Earthquake and Fire Punch for steel types resistant to Dragon type moves. Fire Punch hits those who are not grounded. If you don't care about the small percentage not grounded then throw in roost to give Dragonite healing abilities to give it a more supportive role.
Leftovers is a good choice for an item as you will slowly heal. Lum Berry will cure confusion and Yache Berry will fix against the 4x Ice weakness. Life orb will give you 1.3x raw boost, but at a cost of 10% HP per offensive attack. Life orb reduces switching in options as combined with moves like stealth rock or sandstorm can cause self-inflicted KO.
