Dratini (Japanese: ミニリュウ Miniryuu) 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.

Natural abilities

Shed Skin -Every turn there is a 1 in 3 chance of removing a burn, paralysis, sleep, poison, or frozen condition.

Evolution

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

Appearances

Anime

In the anime, Dratini first appeared in the episode "The Legend of Dratini". This episode is set in the Safari Zone, and sees Ash and the Safari Warden Kaiser 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.

Trivia

• Dratini's prototype name was Dragoon.
• Dratini and it's evolution line are the only Dragon-type Pokémon in Generation I.
• Due to being mistaken for a Mythical Pokémon, Dratini and its evolution line are placed between the Kanto Birds and Mewtwo, who are all Legendary Pokémon.

Origin

It seems to be based on some Sea Snake while its name appears to be known as small dragon.

Etymology

Dratini is a mix of the words dragon and a misspelling of tiny.
