* '''Draco Meteor''' (Japanese: '''りゅうせいぐん''' ''Dragon Meteor Shower'') is a {{type|Dragon}} move introduced in [[Generation IV]].
* '''New Year Present''' (Japanese: '''ニューイヤープレゼント''' ''New Year Present'') is a {{TCG|Trainer card|Special Card}}. It was released as a promotional card in Japan only.
* Draco Meteor can only be taught to a Dragon-type Pokémon with maximum [[happiness]] and is tutored by [[Wilma]] in [[Generation IV]] and [[Iris]] or [[Drayden]] in [[Generation V]], depending on the game.
* This card was released by MediaFactory in 2000 to celebrate the millennium and sent to members of the Pokémon Fan Club.
* Considered a variation of {{m|Leaf Storm}}, {{m|Overheat}}, and {{m|Psycho Boost}}, Draco Meteor lowers the user's Special Attack by two stages upon successful use.
* It was released as a Jumbo card and was therefore not legal to use in tournaments or official events.
* Draco Meteor is a [[Smart Contest|Smart]] move in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.
* As 2000, much like the year 2012, was the Year of the Dragon, the illustration by [[Tomokazu Komiya]] features many Pokémon of the {{t|Dragon}} type, and other Pokémon usually group with them (such as {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Charizard}}).
* [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] takes the distinction of first using the move, both in an {{pkmn|anime}} [[DP152|episode]]<!--meaning counting episodes only, so Dialga's use in M10 is excluded--> and in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* The card's text states "This special card has been sent to trainer players to obtain 200 GET Points. (Points are added automatically.)" GET Points were used to get special promotional cards once players reached a certain amount. {{TCG ID|Fan Club|Eevee|promo}} was worth 500, and {{TCG ID|Fan Club|Porygon|promo}} was worth 700.
* [[Ash's Gible]]'s Draco Meteor is known in the anime for targeting [[Dawn's Piplup]], wherever the Pokémon may be.
* The card features the Pokémon Fan Club logo in place of an expansion symbol.
* Draco Meteor has only appeared [[Dragonite (Legends Awakened 2)|once]] in the Trading Card Game. The player flips a coin for each of the opponent's Pokémon and damages each one for a heads.
