So I have this suggestion, a set that I've been trying and its paying off lately
Agility Policy: Adamant, Multiscale, Weakness Policy. 252 HP, 252 Attack, 6 Speed
-Dragon Claw/Outrage
-Earthquake
-Extreme Speed/Fire Punch
-Agility
My thought process when creating this set was to find a way to cover what Dragonite struggles with, to boost in attack and speed. While 1 DDance does not suffice the speed boost Dnite requires, Agility does without the need for the Jolly nature that lowers the attack stat significantly. After a +2 an Admanat Dragonite can outspeed a Timid Greninja, reaching a total of 394 with 6 EVs in speed (keep in mind that even without the EV investment in speed it wont matter; 392 total). The max HP investment is necessary in order to ensure that Dnite lives with the most amount of HP possible to set up an Agility and get the Weakness Policy boost. If you wanna invest in Def/Sp.Def for some reason you're free to go as a low as 220 EVs in HP, but not any lower, because with that it can live a Life Orb Protean Ice Beam from Timid Greninja and a Jolly Ice Fang from Mega Gyaradous with Multiscale intact according to calcs. You can use Outrage instead of Dragon Claw if you feel the need for more damage output, but Dragon Claw will take care of everything that does not resist it after +2. Earthquake hits everything hard, and Fire Punch can be ran instead of E-Speed if you want Dnite to take care of the Steel types by himself. Although E-Speed can function as a revenge killer against weakened Pokemon.
Magnezone and Mandibuzz are perfect partners for this set. While Magnezone take cares of the Steel and Fairy Types, Mandibuzz takes care of entry hazards and Choice Scarfers (Dnite Can out speed most if not all after +2 if they don't carry a Scarf) thanks to Defog and Knock Off. Whirlwind is an option to stop a Pokemon from setting up as well, hence Dragonite can't take boosted super effective hits as good. Just like any other set up sweeper, it needs to be used the right way and in the right situation.
