Dragonite has a higher attack so I would go for Brick Break.

However you can run Special Dragonite, and if you do go Focus Blast. Chances are you run Physical, in which case go Brick Break.

Dragonite can effectively of use either or, depending on what Set he is running. For aPhysical Set, the most common type of Dragonite Set,Brick Breakis typically the superior option. However, if he is running aSpecial Set, which is commonly seen onSpecial Rain-Knight Sets,Focus Blastis the better option. However, you can also run aMixed Set, in which Dragonite can use the higher powered option (Focus Blast) to deal more damage to Physical Walls that would otherwise sponge a Brick Break well. Below are the mentioned Sets, the first being suggested the most:

Dragonite (F) @ Lum BerryTrait: MultiscaleEVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpdNaive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)- Dragon Claw- Brick Break- ExtremeSpeed- Dragon Dance

Physical Dragonite is the most standard Set that it can run, and for a great reason. With massive Attack Stat, Dragonite can naturally fire off “extremely"ExtremeSpeeds that other Pokemon would have to equip a Life Orb for, and can fix up it’s middling Speed withDragon Dance, making it even more powerful until eventually it’s GG. WhileDragon Clawis it’s most powerful Attack as it’s STAB,Brick Breakis there to remove the opponents that resist it. The given EV Spread is pretty straightforward.

Dragonite (F) @ LeftoversTrait: MultiscaleEVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SAtkModest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)- Hurricane- Focus Blast- Thunder Wave- Roost

An underused Set that more than deserves mention due to it’s effectiveness under the Rain.Hurricaneis the STAB of death, whileFocus BLastis there to remove the that Pokemon that resist it.Thunder Waveslows down it’s foes so he can make great use ofMultiscalewithRoost. The given Set is pretty straightforward.

A Mix between both the Physical and Special Set. He has the same idea as both, except he now has the ability to attack from both sides of the spectrum. The given set is also pretty straightforward.

Hope I helped!
