Trivia
- Dragonite has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other pseudo-legendary evolutions. Dragonite is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Latios and Latias.
- In Red and Blue, Dragonite lacked the single horn on the top of his head. One was added in Yellow. Oddly in the Japanese Red and Green Dragonite had a ridge running down his neck and back.
- Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Dragonite evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with Tyranitar.
- A Dragonite in Red, Blue, and Green has an illegal move, Barrier. This Dragonite belonged to Lance. Lance would later have another Pokémon with an illegal move: A Generation II Aerodactyl that knows Rock Slide (Aerodactyl could not learn Rock Slide legally until Generation III).
- In Red and Blue, Dragonite's unevolved form Dratini has the lines on its stomach that it shares with Dragonite. However Dragonair, the middle evolution, does not.
- Dragonite's name was first used in the 1995 game EarthBound, before Pokémon was released. Its name was used in an item called the Bag of Dragonite.
- In Generation II games, Dragonite's shiny form was grey with purple wings. In Generation III onwards, this was changed to green with pink wings.
- Dragonite is smaller than its pre-evolution.
- Dragonite's color hasn't been consistent in any of the main series games. Even it's shiny form has slightly changed in each generation.
Origin
Dragonite resembles an European dragon or fairy dragon; it's description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to Chinese dragon, as in modern fiction the diffrenations between weatern and eastern dragon blury.
Name origin
Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of dragon and knight, "ignite," or night. It could also refer to draconite, a mythical stone of dragons. Its Japanese name is a combination of 海 kai, ocean, or 破壊 hakai, destruction, and 竜 ryū, dragon.
