Dragonite (Japanese: カイリュー Kairyu) is a dual-type Dragon/Flying pseudo-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
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, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The 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, which would require traveling at a ground speed of roughly 1,556 mph (2,505 km/h) if done at the equator. 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 will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with Kingdra whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the sea guardian and the Sea Incarnate. There are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look.
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. In the past, Outrage was its signature move.

Trophy information
NA: Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.
PAL: A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Dragonite appears as a Spirit. It also had an unused model for a Poké Ball summon.

Trivia
- Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms share their category name with Horsea, its evolved forms, Salamence, and Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
- In Yellow, Dragonite's catch rate was changed from 45 to 9, even though Dragonite couldn't be found in the wild. In all later games, its catch rate was changed back to 45.
- Dragonite was designed by Shigeki Morimoto.
- The Dragonite skeleton fossil in the Nacrene City Museum implies that Dragonite is an ancient species, and that it is seemingly unchanged over millions of years.
- Kingdra's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sword mentions Dragonite, which was unavailable prior to the release of the second expansion of the game, The Crown Tundra.
- Dragonite is the only species owned by one of Ash's friends that Ash himself would later catch.
Origin
Dragonite resembles Japanese dragons, 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 exist 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 from 海竜 kairyū (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 kaijū (monster), 快 kai (cheerful), and 破壊 hakai (destruction).
