==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Despite being bulky, Dragonite are incredibly agile and fast. Unlike its pre-evolutions, they are orange and possess arms and legs. They resemble European dragons, and each one has a pair of little wings that can increase in size while flying. They have a taller stature than most humans.  
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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.
====Gender differences====
 
None.
Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. 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 ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', 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 {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather.  


===Special abilities===
Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.
Dragonite are very strong. They can cause a great deal of damage to most Pokémon. When they become particularly angry, they may go on a {{m|Outrage|rampage}}, and will be unable to control their aggression for some time. They are also able to use many elemental attacks such as Thunder, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Water Pulse, and the elemental punches.


===Behavior===
In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.
Dragonite have a kindhearted disposition. They have been said to save people from drowning and lead ships that have been trapped in storms to safety. Dragonite are said to have an intelligence matching humans. The speed of their flight is so immense they are able to circle the globe in sixteen hours.


===Habitat===
===Evolution===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Dragonite evolves from {{p|Dragonair}} and is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.
Dragonite are very rare in the wild, if found at all. People have claimed that there is an island somewhere that only Dragonite inhabit.

====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.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Dragonite has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. It is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions and with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.
* Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Horsea}}, its evolved forms, {{p|Salamence}}, and Kalosian {{p|Goodra}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Dragonite evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* In {{v2|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.
* Lance's Dragonite knows {{m|Barrier}} in the Generation I games, although Dragonite cannot learn this move legitimately.
* {{p|Kingdra}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}} mentions Dragonite, which was unavailable prior to the release of the second expansion of the game, [[The Crown Tundra]].
**[[Lance]] also has three Dragonite below level 55 during Generation II. This is seen again in the [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} owned by one of {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} that {{Ash}} himself would [[Ash's Dragonite|later catch]].
* Given that the size of the Pokémon world is approximately the same as Earth, and Dragonite can make a complete cycle of the Earth in sixteen hours, Dragonite's top flying speed is roughly {{tt|1,556 mph|About 2,504 km/h}}, approximately three times the speed of an average {{wp|airplane}}.
* Due to Dragonite's learnset not being in numerical order in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Dragonite cannot learn Outrage at Level 41 and must be taught via the Move Reminder instead.
** Despite this, its Speed stat is its lowest stat.
* Dragonite and {{p|Salamence}} have the highest base stat total of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon (excluding [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Legendary Pokémon]]).  
* Dragonite is able to learn almost every HM move in the series. As of Generation IV, the only HM move it cannot learn is {{m|Rock Climb}}.

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

The skeleton of a Dragonite in Pokémon Adventures

Dragonite is a draconic, bipedal reptilian 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, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. 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 Great Bowls of Fire!, 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"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. Drayden stated in Thrash of the Titans! that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather.

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 Generation II, Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Outrage, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Evolution

Dragonite evolves from Dragonair and is the final form of Dratini.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

However, 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. It first appeared in Extricated from Exeggutor.

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.

Trivia

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.

Name origin

Dragonite may be a combination of dragon and knight, night, or 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).
