You might like having FlameClaw on Dragonite, but I suppose Surf is okay due to the lack of a Water-type move otherwise.

You mean DragonClaw? its only efective with other dragons and ice beam does that and better.
 
I call it Dragonthrower, but whatever you call it, the combo is Dragon Claw and Flamethrower.

Hmmm? Choice Band doesn't affect special moves, but the description never... What I'm saying is how do you know? I mean, the description says: Powers up a move, but permits only that move. It doesn't say "Physical only," or anything like that...

It's common knowledge among RMTers that only physical moves are powered up. It's not mentioned in the description, but that's because there isn't enough space to fit it on in. It's what I like to call a hidden mechanic.

As for FlameClaw, I take my statement back. You're right about that after all. All you'd really save Dragon Claw for would be Kingdra in reality, seeing as Ice Beam is more effective than Claw in most cases.

I always prefer the flameclaw set. Boltbeam is weak agains steel adn lanturn, with Dragon claw, you get a STAB boost adn flame is good for Steelix, magneton adn hera
 
About the Choice Band, I compared my Sharpedo and Vaporeon's Surf. They both have the same Sp. Atk, but when I fought the same Hariyama twice, Sharpedo's surf (My Choice Bander) did a considerable amount of damage more than my Vaporeon's. I know there is a random number applied in the damage formula so attacks don't inflict the same amount every time, but the damage was different enough for me to think the Choice Band works for special attacks. And, I see some sites list Choice Band as a reccommended item for Special Sweepers...
