I apologize if i posted this in the wrong forum, but i'm kinda new to pokemon, and im raising a dragonite. Will focus punch successfully hit a pokemon who hit dragonite, in other words, will the inner focus prevent the flinch?

That's why Focus Punch is often preceded with another move to prevent the user from taking damage, such as Substitute or a Sleep move. And with Dragonite's speed, Focus Punch won't work too well on it in-game. Focus Punch works best on a slow Pokemon like Snorlax or Kecleon (who, BTW, naturally learns Substitute).
 
This question has been answered.

...

but a good MS for Dragonite ingame is:
-EQ
-Dragon Dance
-Aerial Ace/Wing Attack (WA if you can't get AA)
-Thunderbolt/Ice Beam/Flamethrower/Dragon Claw (Thunderbolt is the best choice imo.)
