Trivia

• Dragon Rage is the only Dragon move in Generation I. Interestingly enough, it is not affected by type match-ups, so there are no true Dragon moves in Generation I.
• All fully-evolved Pokémon that can learn this move (with one exception) are dual-typed. Although, in Generation I, Arcanine and Mew were compatible with the TM for this move.
