I'd really like to use these on my team, but I can't figure out what exactly to give them. I thought of a couple sets that might work.

Dragonite
T-wave/agility
Wrap
Blizzard
Hyper beam

First paralyze for the speed advantage, then wrap to slowly weaken them while they can't attack, and if you're lucky you won't even take a hit because you'll be going first. Blizzard is for grounds and rocks.

Articuno
Double Team
Rest
Substitute
Ice Beam

Sub, then DT up, rest off damage, and ice beam off a good special stat and freeze if you're lucky. Ice beam over blizzard for PP.

If anyone can come up with better sets, please post them.

As far as the Dragonite goes I doubt that would work in a battle. Wrap's accuracy is less than reliable and you can easily just switch out to avoid the attack and if it's stadium you wouldn't even lose a turn on the switch.

As far as the Articuno goes I believe they call that the Pandora's box moveset if my memory serves me correctly.

I used to use a Dragonite set similar to that. I thought it worked pretty well; one of the reasons I think it never reached popularity was because of Wrap not working on a lot of battle simulators. Though I would suggest using Icebeam over Blizzard just for accuracy reasons.

I've used that Articuno set before. It works really well, especially if you can parafuse the opponent before switching. (That'll help you set up Sub and some Double Teams using turn advantage before they switch out.) Pandora is the combination of Substitute, Double Team, and Rest.

That Articuno's fine. However, when there's Evasion ban, you might want something else. Maybe Fly or Sky Attack... Articuno's pretty limited.

That Dragonite would never work. How about... Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam/Blizzard, Body Slam/Double-Edge.

I don't use Dragonite, but I've used an Articuno similar to that, and it served me very well.

My setup was Rest, DT, Icebeam, and Fly. Was nice against things that tend to be resistant to ice, and it was also effective as a PP waster, since rest and fly are multi-turn moves that can work as major stall machines when PP'ed up.

You should take into account that those movesets will make your opponent want to kill you.

Buy a catcher's mask, just in case.
