Is Roost better than Extreme speed for a Dragonite?

I am running anextremespeed,dragon claw,ice punch,brick breakset and have seena lotof Roost Dragonite sets and am wondering whether Roost would be better then extreme speed or any of the other moves

the evs are:4 HP,252 ATk, 252 speed Dragonite has weakness policy and my team is: Lugia,Dragonite,Zeraora,Cinderace,Zacian and Urshifu rapid strike

It really does depend on your whole team, but Roost is better in most cases.

tl;dr, it depends a lot on your team, but with the current one I’d suggest this moveset:

Dragonite @ Weakness Policy / Heavy-Duty BootsAbility: MultiscaleEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Dragon Dance- Earthquake- Dual Wingbeat / Ice Punch- Roost

This set is quite a lot different from yours, but that’s because Dragon Claw and Brick Break are unnecessary. Earthquake + Ice Punch already forms the infamous BoltBeam combo, which has a wide coverage. Dragon Claw doesn’t cover anything, so it’s not a much needed STAB as Dual Wingbeat.

Heavy-Duty Boots allow it to switch into Stealth Rock keeping Multiscale, though if you run Defog on Lugia then Weakness Policy can be used too.

Hope this helps!

The reason roost is ran alot is because of dragonite’s ability, multiscale, which halves all damage from damage dealing moves when hp is full (passive damage isnt counted). Having roost cuts dragonite’s ice weakness to 2x everytime it is used (only if it goes first) and lets it proc multiscale multiple times. Im not sure about the moveset tho since I dont use dragonite alot
