Dragon Breath (Japanese: りゅうのいぶき Dragon Breath), formatted as DragonBreath prior to Pokémon X and Y, is a damage-dealing Dragon-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM24 in Generation II.

Effect

Dragon Breath inflicts damage and has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target.

Dragon Breath can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra appeal point if either the move Dragon Dance or Dragon Rage was used in the prior turn.
