While Dragonite has an higher Atk, the rest of its stats are equal to Goodra’s, minus that bulky Sp.D, which is what should make you choose the Pure-Dragon ‘mon after all if you want a semi reliable wall.
Although keep in mind that other Dragon Pokémon ( namelyHydreigonandSalamence) can/will cover that position just as well, if not better, due to Goodra’s average HP stat of 90 and its only recovery moveRest.
But, DragoniteISDragon/Flying and that does bring more weaknesses, that you may or may not be able to cover with various moves and other Pokémon in your team.
It’s a tough call, so in the end, it depends on how your team is structured and what Pokémon you feel more comfortable using.
Anyways, Smogon has a Assault Vest set for Goodra:
Goodra @ Assault VestAbility: Sap SipperEVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpDModest Nature- Draco Meteor- Fire Blast- Sludge Bomb- Dragon Tail
It’s pretty good honestly!
Moves
Draco Meteor is Goodra’s most powerful STAB attack, and it hits like atruck even without a boosting item. However, this attack lowersGoodra’s Special Attack by two stages, and has a 10% change ofmissing. Dragon Pulse is an option, providing less power than DracoMeteor but not having the nasty side effects that come along with it.Fire Blast hits Steel types, such as Mega Aggron, Forretress and MegaSteelix, which resist Goodra’s main STAB move, for super effectivedamage. Flamethrower can be used over this for perfect accuracy butless power. Thunderbolt hits bulky Water-type Pokemon such asAlomomola and Empoleon for super effective damage and providesunresisted coverage with Fire and Dragon. Dragon Tail is useful forphazing opposing Pokemon that might attempt to set up. Sludge Bombhits Fairy-type Pokemon such as Florges and Aromatisse which areimmune to Goodra’s main STAB move, while Muddy Water hits bulkyGround- and Water-type Pokemon. Ice Beam can be used to hit Gligar,while Power Whip is mainly used to hit Swampert.
Set Details
An Assault Vest boosts Goodra’s already high natural Special Defenseto extraordinary levels, taking even certain super effective hitsincredibly well. Sap Sipper is the ability of choice, giving Goodra afree switch into Grass-type attacks and boosting Dragon Tail’s power.Maximum Special Attack investment with a Modest nature lets Goodra hitas hard as possible. 248 HP EVs boost Goodra’s good natural bulk,while reducing residual damage.
Usage Tips
Goodra has free reign to switch into the majority of special attacks,taking most of them fantastically well, which makes it a fantasticpivot into special attackers such as Chandelure and Shaymin; take thisadvantage to hit whatever switches in extremely hard with one ofGoodra’s attacks. Be extremely wary about attempting to stay inagainst physical attacks, as even with investment into bulk, Goodra’smediocre Defense leaves much to be desired.
Team Options
Alomomola can switch freely in to most physical attacks aimed atGoodra while also giving Wish support. Goodra can also switch into aplethora special attacks that might threaten Alomomola. Swampert notonly provides fantastic type synergy with Goodra, but it can also laydown Stealth Rock to help it wear down its foes. Florges andAromatisse can provide Wish support as well, as Goodra can get worndown easily throughout the battle. Mega Aggron has phenomenal physicalDefense, being able to comfortably switch into many physical hits thatthreaten Goodra. It can also provide Stealth Rock support so Goodrahas an easier time wearing down its foes.
Let me know if this helped!

It really depends on what you want out of the Pokemon, if you want a sweeper, dragonite, if you want a great special defense wall, goodra, though dragonite is gernerally thought of as the better of the two dragons, especially when you consider that goodra is in UU, while dragonite is in OU, as for the move set, I would use FIRE PUNCH to get rid of ice types, DRAGON PULSE to give goodra a powerful stab move, toxic to were down its opponents, and rain dance to complement its hydration ability, hoped I helped:)
