Dragalge (Japanese: ドラミドロ Dramidoro) is a dual-type Poison/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves from Skrelp starting at level 48.

Biology

Dragalge is an aquatic Pokémon that resembles a common sea dragon. Its body is curved in a way that vaguely resembles the number three. Its sides are a light purple with slender vertical lines, while most of the rest of its body is a dull brown. There is a light purple patch on its face surrounding its red eyes. It has a tubular, upturned snout and on the back of its head is a thin appendage. On top of its head is a red, leaf-like crest with two brownish-green antennae. On either side of its body is a skinny, leaf-like appendage and its tailfin also resembles a large leaf. There are three small spikes along its back.

Dragalge is a territorial Pokémon that will spit poison at whatever trespasses on its territory. Its poison is strong enough to melt the hulls of metal tankers. As a result, it is said that ships sailing through the seas where it lives never return. It hunts by hiding itself in seaweed and then ambushing prey, such as Finizen, with a spray of poisonous liquid. However, it is known to coexist well with Dhelmise. Dragalge can create Dragon energy by absorbing the sunlight through the plume on its head.

Trivia

• Dragalge and its pre-evolved form are the only Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
• In Generation IX, Dragalge is unable to learn Dragon Tail via TM, while its pre-evolution can.
• Dragalge and its pre-evolved form, Skrelp, can be seen as a counterpart of Clawitzer and Clauncher, Dragalge is exclusive to Pokemon Y, Omega Ruby, and Ultra Moon.

Origin

Dragalge appears to be based on a leafy seadragon, but bears resemblance in shape and body appendages to the weedy seadragon. Both of these animals are capable of mimicking the appearance of aquatic foliage as a way of camouflage, like Dragalge. The Pokédex entries for Dragalge and its pre-evolution make several allusions to a diet, habitat, and resemblance based around rotten kelp, a kind of seaweed. Notably, rotting seaweed releases highly toxic gas, and can cause poisonings.

Name origin

Dragalge may be a combination of dragon and algae.

Dramidoro may be a combination of dragon and 水綿 aomidoro (Spirogyra).
