Dratini first appeared in EP035. The Warden of the Safari Zone was protecting the Tiny Dragon Pokémon. The episode was banned from English-audience due to excessive use of a firearm.
Dratini was also in EP251. This Dratini belonged to Clair and Team Rocket wanted to steal it from her. Clair's Dratini evolved into a Dragonair at the end of the episode.

Trivia
Dratini's prototype name was "Dragoon," meaning a European military unit, but was probably used as a play on the word "dragon."
There is a Digimon that was mistakenly given a dub name based on Dratini's name. The English writing team for the Digimon 02 dub were having a chat with fans and asked for ideas for the name of a Digimon that would debut in the last episode. One of the members attempted to type out "Dratinimon" (either as a joke, or out of not understanding copyright laws) and mispelled it as "Datirimon". The name was ironically accepted and used in the show as the localized name of Pipimon. [1].
Origin
It appears to be based upon sea serpents or lóng, traditional Chinese dragons who bring good luck.
Name origin
Dratini's name appears to be a combination of dragon and teeny, meaning small. Despite this, it is fairly large for a Pokémon, being nearly six feet (1.8 meters) in length. Its Japanese name, a combination of miniature and 竜 ryū, dragon, has a similar meaning.
In other languages
- German: Dratini
- French: Minidraco - Comes from miniature and draco, which is most likely a corruption of dragon.
