If you want to test your luck at solo defeating Fashionable Dragonite, you must have a raid party with maxed-out Ice, Fairy, Dragon, and Rock-type Pocket Monsters. One maxed Mega beast with one of these elemental typings would be ideal to use against Fashionable Dragonite.

Here are some recommended counters that you can use against Fashionable Dragonite:

• Shadow Mamoswine
• Galarian Darmanitan
• Baxcalibur
• Shadow Mewtwo
• Mega Gardevoir
• Shadow Weavile
• Mega Glalie
• Mamoswine
• Mega Rayquaza
• Mega Abomasnow
• Glaceon
• Shadow Articuno
• Kyurem

Besides a strong team to fight against Fashionable Dragonite, you will need a large supply of healing items. Even though Dragonite will not be a hard nut to crack, you can expect multiple creatures from your team to faint during the raid.

As a result, you must have at least four to five Max Revives and Max Potions. Regular Revives and Potions work fine, too. That being said, you should try to get at least one more high-level trainer to help you with Fashionable Dragonite raids in Pokemon GO.
