'''Dratini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミニリュウ''' ''Miniryu'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
'''Dratini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミニリュウ''' ''Miniryu'') is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}} starting at level 55.

===Physiology===
[[File:Dratini molting.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dratini shedding its skin]]
Dratini are {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} Pokémon that inhabit lakes and rivers. They possess white fins on the sides of their heads as well as a large, round silver nose on their face. They also have purple-colored eyes and a small, white circular feature on their head. Dratini are constantly growing, and can become quite long. As they grow, they {{a|Shed Skin|shed their delicate deep blue skin}}. Dratini also seem to have a much stockier body than their {{p|Dragonair|evolved form}}.
Dratini is a {{wp|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a blue serpentine body and a white underside. It has white, three-pronged fins on the sides of its head and a white bump on its forehead, which is its horn growing. Above its round, white snout are oval, purple eyes.


====Gender differences====
Dratini's life energy is constantly building so it is always growing, and can reach lengths of over six feet (2 meters). As it grows, it sheds its skin regularly; it hides behind a rapid waterfall during the process to protect itself, since the new skin is soft in texture. The shed skin can be tanned and used to create luxury boots. Dratini has been referred as the "Mirage Pokémon", because its existence was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth. Dratini was first discovered by a fisherman who spent 10 hours attempting to capture it. A small colony has also been found underwater, further confirming its existence. Dratini live {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near or in bodies of water}} with a rapid flow, such as the pools at the bottom of waterfalls. It lives a quiet life underwater, eating any food that sinks down to the bottom.
None.


===Special abilities===
As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dratini's sleeping habits used to be a mystery due to how rare it was.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> However, in recent years, Dratini's sleep styles have been discovered and well documented. This is due to trainers who have obtained Dratini and observed its sleeping habits. The four different sleep styles discovered are called ''Coiled Sleep'', ''Wriggly Sleep'', ''Uncoiled Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.
As a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, Dratini can use Dragon-type moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|Twister}}. They are also capable of using {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{type|Fire}} moves. Some examples are {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}}.


===Behavior===
In [[Generation II]], Dratini and its evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.
Dratini are timid, elusive, and extremely shy Pokémon, and thus are rarely seen, resulting in the belief that they are mythological among certain communities in Kanto.


===Habitat===
===Evolution===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Dratini evolves into {{p|Dragonair}}, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}}.
Dratini are said to be nonexistent or one-of-a-kind Pokémon, as they are so rare. However, they are found in several places, including the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Mt. Coronet]], and [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

====[[Clair's Dratini]]====
Dratini's first dub appearance was in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This Dratini belonged to [[Clair]] and {{TRT}} wanted to steal it from her. Clair's Dratini evolved into a {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} at the end of the episode.
 
====Other====
Dratini first appeared in [[EP035]]. [[Kaiser|The Warden]] of the {{safari|Kanto}} was protecting the Dragon Pokémon. The episode was banned from English-audiences due to excessive use of a firearm.
 
===Minor appearances===
A Dratini appeared in one of {{TRT}}'s fantasies in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.
 
Another Dratini appeared in ''[[PK09|Snorlax Snowmen]]''.

Dratini (Japanese: ミニリュウ Miniryu) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Dragonair starting at level 30, which evolves into Dragonite starting at level 55.

Biology

A Dratini shedding its skin

Dratini is a reptilian Pokémon with a blue serpentine body and a white underside. It has white, three-pronged fins on the sides of its head and a white bump on its forehead, which is its horn growing. Above its round, white snout are oval, purple eyes.

Dratini's life energy is constantly building so it is always growing, and can reach lengths of over six feet (2 meters). As it grows, it sheds its skin regularly; it hides behind a rapid waterfall during the process to protect itself, since the new skin is soft in texture. The shed skin can be tanned and used to create luxury boots. Dratini has been referred as the "Mirage Pokémon", because its existence was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth. Dratini was first discovered by a fisherman who spent 10 hours attempting to capture it. A small colony has also been found underwater, further confirming its existence. Dratini live near or in bodies of water with a rapid flow, such as the pools at the bottom of waterfalls. It lives a quiet life underwater, eating any food that sinks down to the bottom.

As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Dratini's sleeping habits used to be a mystery due to how rare it was.[1] However, in recent years, Dratini's sleep styles have been discovered and well documented. This is due to trainers who have obtained Dratini and observed its sleeping habits. The four different sleep styles discovered are called Coiled Sleep, Wriggly Sleep, Uncoiled Sleep, and Atop-Belly Sleep.

In Generation II, Dratini and its evolved forms were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Outrage, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Evolution

Dratini evolves into Dragonair, which evolves into Dragonite.

In the anime

Major appearances

Clair's Dratini

Dratini made its physical English dub debut in Beauty is Skin Deep, under the ownership of Clair. Team Rocket wanted to steal it from her, but failed. It evolved into a Dragonair at the end of the episode.

Other

Dratini Egg (left) in Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Dratini debuted in the banned episode EP035, under the protection of the warden of the Safari Zone. By the end of the episode, it turned out that the Dratini the warden met 30 years earlier had evolved into a Dragonair, and was now raising its own child Dratini.

In Showdown at the Gates of Warp!, due to Dialga and Palkia's influence, Ash's Dragonite devolved into a Dragonair and then into a Dratini. It was later reverted in the same episode.

Minor appearances

A Dratini appeared in one of Team Rocket's fantasies in Ditto's Mysterious Mansion.

A Dratini appeared in Snorlax Snowman.

A Performer's Dratini appeared in a video in Performing with Fiery Charm!.

In Alola to New Adventure!, a Trainer's Dratini was on the Melemele Island beach.

Trivia

Origin

Dratini appears to be based on sea serpents or ryu, traditional Japanese dragons or Chinese dragons who bring good luck. Its constant growth is similar to that of snakes, who grow as long as they live. Additionally, its reclusive nature, aquatic habitat, and the fact that, for a long time, it was considered a myth are reminiscent of the Loch Ness Monster.

Name origin

Dratini may be a combination of dragon and teeny, tiny, or mini.

Miniryu may be a combination of miniature and 竜 ryū (dragon).
