Dragonair (Japanese: ハクリュー Hakuryu) is a Dragon-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Dratini starting at level 30 and evolves into Dragonite starting at level 55.
Biology
Dragonair is a long, serpentine Pokémon covered in blue scales along its back and a bright white underside. Its violet eyes are dark and glossy. It has a smooth, rounded snout and a small horn in the middle of its forehead. Its head is flanked by two stylized wings, each white and curving into a swirl. It has distinct blue orbs on its lower neck and near the tip of its tail.
Dragonair emits a distinct, gentle aura that can be felt by humans. As seen in the anime, it is able to make its wings grow to large sizes in order to fly; it otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the orbs on its neck and tail, allowing it to change the weather. Dragonair's entire body emits light whenever it affects the weather. Dragonair is a rare Pokémon that inhabits lakes.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Dragonair was originally known as "Dragyn".
- In Blackthorn City, a woman is willing to trade her RhydonGS or DodrioCHGSS for a female Dragonair. This makes Dragonair the only Pokémon able to be male or female that must be a specific gender for an in-game trade.
- In Yellow, Dragonair's catch rate was changed from 45 to 27, making it the hardest Pokémon to catch in the Kanto Safari Zone. In the later games, the catch rate was changed back to 45.
- Dragonair is also the name of an airline based in Hong Kong, China in the real world.
- Dragonair shares its species name with Horsea, its evolutions, Dratini, Dragonite, Salamence, and Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
Origin
It appears to be based on sea serpents or ryu, traditional Japanese dragons or Chinese dragons who bring good luck. It also appears to look like a snake. In fact, its tail makes it resemble a rattlesnake. Its wing-like ears on its head resembles the wings on Greek god Hermes' shoes, and its long, snakelike body may be a reference to the snakes on his scepter. It's also very likely that it was based on the imugi (also spelt imoogi), which is a proto-dragon that resembles a snake and lives in water or caves much like Dragonair. After an imugi lives a thousand years a jewel (called a Yeouiju) will fall from the sky and if the imugi catches it, it will become a full fledged dragon, which may be where Dragonair acquires its jewels from.
The jewel on Dragonair's neck might also be a reference to the Japanese folktale, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, in which the moon princess Kaguya-hime asks some princess to bring her back some items, one of which includes a colored jewel from a dragon's neck.
Name origin
Dragonair may be a combination of dragon and air (referring to its ability to change the weather or to its air of grace and majesty) or debonair (graceful, referring to its graceful flying capabilities). It could also make reference to a "lair", the traditional home of a dragon.
Hakuryū could be taken to mean 白竜 (white dragon). Hakuryu was also the name of the dragon-like companion of Zhu Bajie/Cho Hakkai from the legend of the Journey to the West in Buddhist lore.
