Dragonair is a long, serpentine {{wp|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with sky blue scales and a white underside. It has a rounded snout, oval purple eyes, and a small, white horn on its forehead.

Three blue, crystal orbs adorn its body: one on its neck and two on its tail. | Dragonair is a long, serpentine {{wp|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with sky blue scales and a white underside.

Dragonair emits a gentle aura that gives it a mystical appearance. As seen in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]'', it can make its wings grow larger in order to fly, but otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the crystals on its neck and tail. This causes its body to brighten and give off a different aura that changes the weather in its vicinity. As a result, Dragonair has been referred as a "divine Pokémon" since ancient times by agricultural peoples. Dragonair is a rare Pokémon that inhabits pristine seas and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|lakes}}. The lakes Dragonair lives in are usually filled with offerings from people in gratitude. It is said that a person who sees a Dragonair at the start of a year will be healthy for the whole year. | Dragonair emits a gentle aura that gives it a mystical appearance.

Dragonair (Japanese: ハクリュー Hakuryu) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Dratini starting at level 30 and evolves into Dragonite starting at level 55.
Biology
Dragonair is a long, serpentine reptilian Pokémon with sky blue scales and a white underside. It has a rounded snout, oval purple eyes, and a small, white horn on its forehead. On each side of its head is a small, stylized wing, which is white and curves into a swirl at the base. Three blue, crystal orbs adorn its body: one on its neck and two on its tail.
Dragonair emits a gentle aura that gives it a mystical appearance. As seen in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure, it can make its wings grow larger in order to fly, but otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the crystals on its neck and tail. This causes its body to brighten and give off a different aura that changes the weather in its vicinity. As a result, Dragonair has been referred as a "divine Pokémon" since ancient times by agricultural peoples. Dragonair is a rare Pokémon that inhabits pristine seas and lakes. The lakes Dragonair lives in are usually filled with offerings from people in gratitude. It is said that a person who sees a Dragonair at the start of a year will be healthy for the whole year. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Dragonair is known to channel power and change the weather even while it sleeps.[1]
In Generation II, Dragonair and its evolutionary relatives were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Outrage, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.
Evolution
Dragonair evolves from Dratini and evolves into Dragonite.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Dragonair was originally known as "Dragyn".
- According to the radio drama The Birth of Mewtwo, Dragonair was scientifically registered by a Pokémon discovery ship 1001 about 200 nautical miles away from the open sea of Seafoam Islands.
- In Blackthorn City, a woman is willing to trade her RhydonGS or DodrioCHGSS for a female Dragonair. This makes Dragonair the only Pokémon able to be male or female that must be a specific gender for an in-game trade.
- In Pokémon Yellow, Dragonair's catch rate was changed from 45 to 27, making it the hardest Pokémon to catch in the Kanto Safari Zone. In the later games, the catch rate was changed back to 45.
- Dragonair is also the former name of an airline based in Hong Kong in the real world.
- 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.
- Dragonair and its evolutionary relatives share their category with Horsea, its evolved forms, Salamence, and Kalosian Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
Origin
Dragonair appears to be based on sea serpents or ryu, traditional Japanese dragons or Chinese dragons who bring good luck. It also resembles a snake, its tail even resembling that of a rattlesnake. The wings on its head resemble those on the sandals and hat of the Greek god Hermes, and its long, snakelike body may be a reference to the snakes on his scepter.
Dragonair may also be based on the imugi, a proto-dragon that resembles a snake and lives in water or caves, much like Dragonair. After an imugi lives a thousand years, a jewel (called a Yeouiju) will fall from the sky. If the imugi catches it, it will become a true dragon. The jewels on Dragonair's neck and tail might also be a reference to Chinese dragons' associations with pearls, specifically, the flaming pearl often placed under dragon's chin which symbolizes prosperity, power, immortality, thunder, and grants wishes.
Name origin
Dragonair may be a combination of dragon and air, debonair, or lair (traditional home of a dragon).
Hakuryū may be derived from 白竜 hakuryū (white dragon).
