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 powerhouse evolutions. Dragonite is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Latios and Latias.
- Its stats are fairly similar to Salamence's, with Salamence having lower defensive stats but higher Speed.
- In Generation I games, Dragonite didn't have a horn. One was added during Generation II.
- Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve naturally, Dragonite evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with Tyranitar.
Origin
Appearance-wise, it is similar to European dragons. In regards to its friendly nature and high intelligence, it is closer to a lóng, a traditional Chinese dragon who brings good luck.
Name origin
Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of dragon and knight 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.
