Dragonite (Japanese: カイリュー Kairyu) is a dual-type Dragon/Flying pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

It evolves from Dragonair starting at level 55. It is the final form of Dratini.

Biology

Dragonite is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon with light orange skin. It has large, gray eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. There is a pair of long, thin antennae, as well as a small horn on the top of its head. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored, and extends to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. Its leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body, with teal wing membranes.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. It can circle the globe in sixteen hours, traveling roughly 1,556 mph, or about three times the speed of an average airplane. A kindhearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in the anime, however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically living near the sea. Some claim that there is an island somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

Other

A Dragonite that belonged to the original Gym Leader of the Blackthorn Gym appeared in Fangs For Nothin'. This Dragonite went on a rampage when Team Rocket tried to steal a sacred bowl of fire in the following episode, but it calmed down later on in that episode. The same Dragonite appeared in a flashback in A Pokémon of a Different Color!.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
BW089 Dragonite Dawn's Pokédex Dragonite, the Dragon Pokémon. Dragonite is said to live in the sea. With its small wings and large body, it can fly faster than the speed of sound.

In the manga

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

Main article: Drake's Dragonite

Drake and his Dragonite also appear in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga, once again as his star Pokémon and the last opponent Ash's team faced. It defeated Squirtle and Charizard, and was eventually defeated by Pikachu.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

A wild Dragonite first appears in What a Dragonite, where Red searches for an HM03, containing the move Surf, knowing that his rival Blue had obtained it already. After a tough fight during which it showed great resilience taking Pika's electric attacks to no effect, and withstanding a Double-Edge from Snor, it was eventually beaten when Misty arrived with her Gyarados, Gyara. Gyara then was traded for Red's Krabby, as Dragonite destroyed the HM and it was the only Pokémon which knew the move.

Two years later, Lance, leader of the Elite Four, is shown to have an even stronger Dragonite, one whose hide is so thick that it was able to stay in a vat of molten lava for an extended period of time, and none of Yellow's weak attacks had any effect. It was very devoted to Lance's cause of exterminating the human race in order to provide good habitats for Pokémon.

Presumably, this same Dragonite rampaged at the Pokéathlon stadium in the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, only to be eventually defeated by Gold's Togebo.

Argenta's Dragonite was used to battle Platinum at the Battle Hall in Dealing with Dragonite.

Trivia

Lance's Dragonite using Barrier
  • Dragonite and its pre-evolutions share their species name with Horsea, its evolutions, Salamence, and Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
  • In Red, Green, and Blue, Lance's Dragonite knows Barrier, but Dragonite cannot legitimately have the move in any of the games.
  • In Yellow, Dragonite's catch rate was changed from 45 to 9, even though Dragonite is not catchable within the game. In the later games, the catch rate was changed back to 45.


Origin

Dragonite resembles Japanese sea dragons, or European dragons, or fairy dragons; its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to the Chinese dragon. Similar-looking Japanese dragons exists in art done by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.[1]

Name origin

Dragonite may be a combination of dragon and knight, or night. It could also refer to draconite, a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape (similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be a combination of 海 kai (ocean), 快 kai (cheerful), 怪獣 kaijū (monster), or 破壊 hakai (destruction) and 竜 ryū (dragon).
