Read more ↓Dragonair, the Dragon Pokémon, is a creature of immense grace and mystery first introduced in Generation I. It is the elegant middle evolution of Dratini, evolving from Dratini at level 30 and then into the majestic Dragonite at level 55. Known for its serpentine body, small wings on its head, and the three blue orbs adorning its neck and tail, Dragonair is often depicted as dwelling in pristine bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, where it is said to control the weather. Its diet is largely unknown, but given its habitat, it likely feeds on aquatic life. In the games, Dragonair is a powerful ally, embodying the raw strength and mystical nature of Dragon-type Pokémon. In the anime, it has appeared in numerous episodes, often showcasing its serene demeanor and its ability to calm stormy waters or summon rain. Dragon-type Pokémon like Dragonair have historically been powerful in the TCG, often featuring high HP and strong attacks, despite their common weakness to Ice-type moves in the main series games, which is represented differently in the TCG. Its evolution, Dragonite, is one of the original pseudo-legendary Pokémon, solidifying Dragonair's place in the pantheon of iconic Pokémon.
