Dratini's life energy is constantly building so it is always growing, and can reach lengths of over six feet (2 meters). As it grows, it sheds its skin regularly; it hides behind a rapid waterfall during the process to protect itself, since the new skin is soft in texture. The shed skin can be tanned and used to create luxury boots. Dratini has been referred as the "Mirage Pokémon", because its existence was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth. Dratini was first discovered by a fisherman who spent 10 hours attempting to capture it. A small colony has also been found underwater, further confirming its existence. Dratini live {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near or in bodies of water}} with a rapid flow, such as the pools at the bottom of waterfalls. It lives a quiet life underwater, eating any food that sinks down to the bottom. | Dratini's life energy is constantly building so it is always growing, and can reach lengths of over six feet (2 meters).

This is due to trainers who have obtained Dratini and observed its sleeping habits.

Dratini (Japanese: ミニリュウ Miniryu) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Dragonair starting at level 30, which evolves into Dragonite starting at level 55.
Biology
Dratini is a reptilian Pokémon with a blue serpentine body and a white underside. It has white, three-pronged fins on the sides of its head and a white bump on its forehead, which is its horn growing. Above its round, white snout are oval, purple eyes.
Dratini's life energy is constantly building so it is always growing, and can reach lengths of over six feet (2 meters). As it grows, it sheds its skin regularly; it hides behind a rapid waterfall during the process to protect itself, since the new skin is soft in texture. The shed skin can be tanned and used to create luxury boots. Dratini has been referred as the "Mirage Pokémon", because its existence was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth. Dratini was first discovered by a fisherman who spent 10 hours attempting to capture it. A small colony has also been found underwater, further confirming its existence. Dratini live near or in bodies of water with a rapid flow, such as the pools at the bottom of waterfalls. It lives a quiet life underwater, eating any food that sinks down to the bottom.
As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Dratini's sleeping habits used to be a mystery due to how rare it was.[1] However in recent years, Dratini's sleep styles have been discovered and well documented. This is due to trainers who have obtained Dratini and observed its sleeping habits. The four different sleep styles discovered are called Coiled Sleep, Wriggly Sleep, Uncoiled Sleep, and Atop-Belly Sleep.
In Generation II, Dratini and its evolved forms were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Outrage, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.
Evolution
Dratini evolves into Dragonair, which evolves into Dragonite.

One Dratini figure has been released:
Trivia
- In early English-language promotional material for Pokémon Red and Blue, Dratini was referred to as "Dragoon". Although this word can mean a European military unit that is transported on horseback but fights on foot, the name was probably selected as a combination of dragon and lagoon.
- In Generation I and Generation II, Dratini and Dragonair can learn Hyper Beam via leveling up, but not via TM. This was fixed in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
- Dratini and its evolved forms share their category with Horsea, its evolved forms, Salamence, and Kalosian Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
- Dratini was the inspiration for the naming of Hedruris dratini, a species of parasitic nematode.[2][3]
Origin
Dratini appears to be based on sea serpents or ryu, traditional Japanese dragons or Chinese dragons who bring good luck. Its constant growth is similar to that of snakes, who grow as long as they live. Additionally, its reclusive nature, aquatic habitat, and the fact that, for a long time, it was considered a myth are reminiscent of the Loch Ness Monster.
Name origin
Dratini may be a combination of dragon and teeny, tiny, or mini.
Miniryu may be a combination of miniature and 竜 ryū (dragon).
