Dratini (Japanese: ミニリュウ, Hepburn: Miniryuu) (dra-TEE-nee) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

It has a white, circular, gem-like object on its forehead, and its eyes are light purple. It has two developing wings at the sides of its head, which grow to be enormous as it evolves. It has a white belly, and is light blue the rest of the way. Dratini looks like some sort of snake or sea monster. 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. The small lumps on their heads, thought to be sources of good luck in some cultures, are actually immature horns.

The Shiny Pokémon version of Dratini has lavender-pink-colored skin on its upper body as opposed to light blue skin.

Behavior

Dratini dwell at the bottoms of deep lakes, where they are difficult to find. Young Dratini are rather large for newborns, with some having been reported be be as long as 6.5 feet (2 meters). As they age, they grow even larger, shedding their skins periodically (sometimes as often as every day). They are extremely vulnerable after shedding, so they will hide behind powerful waterfalls away from their colonies during these times. Their bodies grow at an astounding rate, so they must shed often. These skins were likely the source of myths regarding mysterious, lake-dwelling, serpentine creatures.

For a long time, people were convinced that the these skins were hoaxes. It was not until scientists compared their DNA to that of actual Dratini was finally accepted that not only were the skins authentic, but that Dratini were real as well; coupled with how a fisherman had a 10-hour struggle with a Dratini to confirm this species' existence. Today, shed Dratini skin are often treated to make luxury leather goods.

Natural abilities

When they shed their skins, their bodies give off a light blue aura.

Evolution

Dratini evolves into Dragonair at level 30, who then evolves into Dragonite at level 55.
