Dratini (ミニリュウ Miniryū) is a serpent like Dragon-type Pokémon. It evolves into Dragonair at level 30, who then evolves into Dragonite at level 55.

Appearance

It has a white circle-shape on its forehead. It has two developing wings at the sides of its head, which grow to be enormous as it evolves. Dratini are born large, and as they shed their skin, they grow larger. They have a massive amount of energy rapidly increasing inside of their bodies, hence, they have great strength which grows exponentially as they evolve.

Special Abilities

They were thought to be purely mythical creatures, but they were discovered to be real by a fisherman. They live in colonies in the ocean in limited numbers and fetch a high price as Pokémon to be used for battling.

Anime

In the anime, Dratini first appeared in the episode "The Legend of Miniryu". This episode is set in the Safari Zone, and sees Ash and the Safari Warden protect a Dragonair and Dratini. This episode was banned outside of Japan due to the Warden and Team Rocket threatening several characters with a gun.
