Lance's Dragonite (Japanese: ワタルのカイリュー Wataru's Kairyu) is one of Lance's main Pokémon in the anime along with Gyarados, and his main Pokémon in the manga and games.
In the anime
Main series
History
Original series
Dragonite first appeared in Marina's fantasy of Lance in The Legend of Thunder!. It made its physical debut in Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution, where it saved Ash and his friends from getting hit by a Drill Peck from Tyson's Fearow by using Thunder Wave on the Beak Pokémon. Unlike Ash's Totodile, Dragonite was not affected by the Evolution Inducement Wave tower that Team Rocket had built up in Mahogany Town. Lance fled on his Dragonite after it used Whirlwind on Tyson and the grunts. They met up with Ash and his friends afterward. Later, Dragonite once again used Thunder Wave to save them from a Pokémon attack but this time from getting Wrapped up by Jessie's Arbok.
Afterward, Dragonite sent Arbok and the Team Rocket trio blasting off. With the trio taken care of, Lance had Dragonite destroy the Evolution Inducement Wave's source. They fled along with Ash and the gang. Tyson then had a rematch with Dragonite and sent out not one, but two Fearow to take on the Dragon Pokémon. It was a tough battle for Dragonite as it felt outnumbered, but it was able to defeat both Fearow with Twister. Since Tyson had no options left, he ended up getting arrested by Officer Jenny. After defeating Tyson, Dragonite took on the Red Gyarados, as Lance wanted to catch the different colored Atrocious Pokémon. Dragonite was able to weaken the Gyarados long enough for Lance to catch it. With the Gyarados caught, Lance flew away on his Dragonite and said his farewells to Ash, Misty, and Brock.
It reappeared in a flashback in Beauty is Skin Deep.
Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire
In The Shuffle of Legends, Dragonite helped battle Team Magma and Team Aqua. Lance had it attack the hole that Pikachu made earlier in order to free Ash from Team Magma's helicopter. He then flew on Dragonite to take on Archie and Kyogre. Kyogre launched a Hydro Pump which Dragonite narrowly dodged. He offered Ash to ride on Dragonite as Ash, May, Max, and Brock chose to stay, despite the situation proving to be quite dangerous. After Kyogre was defeated by Groudon's Solar Beam, Dragonite saved Archie from falling as the Red Orb separated itself from his body.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
In Pride of a Champion!, Lance used Dragonite as his first Pokémon in his Masters Eight Tournament battle against Diantha. It went up against her Aurorus, which it was able to defeat, despite the type disadvantage, before being recalled. Lance later sent Dragonite back out to face Diantha's last Pokémon, Mega Gardevoir. Despite Dynamaxing, Dragonite ended up losing, costing Lance the match.
In A Flood of Torrential Gains!, Dragonite and Lance watched Ash's match against Leon.
Personality and characteristics
Not much is known about Dragonite due to it and its Trainer being featured in very few episodes. However, as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon owned by a Champion, Dragonite is shown to be incredibly strong, as it was unaffected by the Evolution Inducement Wave and was able to defeat two Fearow in a two-on-one battle. It even managed to handle itself well against the Red Gyarados and proved durable enough to withstand multiple super-effective attacks from Diantha's Pokémon. Dragonite is also used as a form of transport, allowing Lance to fly from place to place.

History
Yellow arc
Lance has raised a Dragonite from a Dratini since his childhood alongside his Gyarados, which was a Magikarp at the time. It was a proud Pokémon because it was ravaged and sickly from human pollution at the time of its capture. It debuted in Extricated from Exeggutor alongside the rest of his team. Later, it was used during Lance's battle with Yellow at the Cerise Island, using Strength to disrupt the volcano. Dragonite easily withstood the attacks from Yellow's team and sent them flying with its tail. Lance then has Dragonite wait in the lava to strike, greatly weakening it and risking its life as it waits for Lance's signal.
HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
In One Tough Togepi, after Lance's defeat at the hands of Petrel, a heavily injured Dragonite began rampaging at the Pokéathlon Dome. After it beat Bruno and Koga, Dragonite faced Gold's Pokémon in battle. Eventually, Dragonite was knocked out by Gold's Togepi, Togebo, and recaptured so that it could be returned to Lance. In All About Arceus II, Gold met with Lance at the Ruins of Alph and Dragonite jumped out of Gold's pocket and was reunited with its Trainer.
During the battle against Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina at the Sinjoh Ruins, Lance and Dragonite faced Palkia. With its ability to manipulate the direction of its Hyper Beam, Dragonite was able to hit Palkia even after it used Spacial Rend to send the attack to another location.

Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure
Dragonite first appeared in JBA4, where Lance was flying on it when Jō saw the Red Gyarados. Dragonite was then used in the Tag Battle against Ariana and Petrel with Totodile as its ally. It managed to defeat Petrel's Raticate in the end.
Dragonite reappeared in JBA5, where it was the second Pokémon sent out to battle Jō. Dragonite was no match for Jō's Totodile at first since Totodile already took damage from his Charizard. After a long battle, Dragonite was defeated by Totodile's Ice Fang, winning the battle for Jō.

Pokémon Pocket Monsters
Lance's Dragonite debuted in Space Havoc!!. After Red's Clefairy defeated Lance's Gyarados and Aerodactyl, Dragonite was the final test for Red to face. Unlike the former two, Dragonite was a tough foe for Red to handle. With no other choice, Red went in the space shuttle with Lance and Dragonite with Red and the gang, much to their surprise. After landing which resulted in the shuttle getting destroyed by Clefairy, Lance flew away on Dragonite as Clefairy had to deal with Professor Oak, who was not too happy about this.
Dragonite reappeared in The Final Battle!! where it played the role of the dragon that destroyed a village. The villagers asked Red to defeat Lance and his Dragonite to free the rest of the villagers who is working under Lance. Most of the weapons that Clefairy threw at Dragonite were rendered useless as one of them was tied to the catapult and the other one bounced off of Dragonite rather easily. However, Clefairy managed to successfully lasso Dragonite but Dragonite was too heavy for Clefairy with caused Clefairy to fly in the air with Dragonite. When Clefairy got himself fat, Dragonite could no longer lift Clefairy in the air. Dragonite was then thrown into a rocky mountain which made it injured.
Clefairy attempted to beat up Lance for making the villagers suffer. However, Dragonite defended Lance, saying Lance was his savior and told Clefairy his story. Lance found Dragonite when it was a baby Dratini abandoned out in the rain. Lance took Dratini as his own and gave it shelter from the rain and a bottle for it to drink. Growing up, Lance took Dratini to school where it managed to have evolved into a Dragonair sometime during graduation. After finishing school, Dragonair went through serious training by carrying some rings on its tail and fought a wild Pinsir. It evolved into Dragonite way later, and together, they become one of the Elite Four. Red and his Pokémon were touched by the story, and decide to forgive Lance and Dragonite. However, a car came by, which was revealed to be the wealthy parents of Lance's Dragonite, asking Lance and Dragonite to go home. Lance and Dragonite attempted to escape while Red and his Pokémon chased them for making up the story.
Pokémon Zensho
Dragonite appears in Indigo Plateau. It ends up being Satoshi's opponent after he defeated the other members of the Elite Four. It went up against Satoshi's Charizard which hits it with a fire attack while Dragonite uses a laser-type attack. After a long battle, Charizard was able to defeat Dragonite.

Trivia
- In Red, Green, and Blue, Lance's Dragonite knows Barrier, but Dragonite cannot legitimately have the move in any of the games.
- In 2016, a Dragonite which knows Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi Tournament to reference this.
- Since Generation II, Lance has been using Dragonite leveled lower than 55, despite the fact that Dragonite can only be obtained by evolving Dragonair at level 55 onward (outside of Dragonspiral Tower and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!).
- Excluding Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Lance's Dragonite will always know the move Hyper Beam during battle.
