Dragonite (Japanese: カイリュー Kairyu) is a dual-type Dragon/Flying pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
It evolves from Dragonair starting at level 55. It is the final form of Dratini.
Biology
Physiology
Despite being bulky, Dragonite are incredibly agile and fast. Unlike its pre-evolutions, they are orange and possess arms and legs, all of which are equipped with three claws. It retains the horn on its forehead that it possessed as a Dragonair, however it is now colored orange like most of Dragonite's body. They resemble bipedal European dragons, and each one has a pair of little green-colored wings that can increase in size while flying. They have a taller stature than most humans. Dragonite also possess S-shaped yellow antennae and a cream-colored, striated underbelly.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Dragonite are very strong. They can cause a great deal of damage to most Pokémon. When they become particularly angry, they may go on a rampage, and will be unable to control their aggression for some time. They are also able to use many elemental attacks such as Thunder, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Water Pulse, and the elemental punches. The speed of their flight is so immense they are able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. Given that the size of the Pokémon world is approximately the same as Earth, and Dragonite can make a complete cycle of the Earth in sixteen hours, with Dragonite's top flying speed being roughly 1,556 mph, approximately three times the speed of an average airplane, but ironically, its Speed stat is its lowest stat! However, it's move Extreme Speed may explain how it can travel this fast.
Behavior
Dragonite have a kindhearted disposition and are said to have human-like intelligence. They have been said to save people from drowning and lead ships that have been trapped in storms to safety. If angered, however, they are capable of going on uncontrollable rampages with devastating results.
Habitat
Dragonite are very rare in the wild, if found at all. People have claimed that there is an island somewhere that only Dragonite inhabit.

In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures, a wild Dragonite first appears in Volume 2, where Red searches for an HM03, containing the move Surf, knowing that his rival Blue had obtained it already. After a tough fight during which it showed great resilience taking Pika's electric attacks to no effect, and withstanding a Double-Edge from Lax, it was eventually beaten when Misty arrived with her Gyarados, Gyara. Gyara then was traded for Red's Krabby, as Dragonite destroyed the HM and it was the only Pokémon which knew the move.
Two years later, Lance, leader of the Elite Four, is shown to have an even stronger Dragonite, one whose hide is so thick that it was able to stay in a vat of molten lava for an extended period of time, and none of Yellow's weak attacks had any effect. It was very devoted to Lance's cause of exterminating the human race in order to provide good habitats for Pokémon.
Presumably, this same Dragonite rampaged at the Pokéathlon stadium in the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, only to be eventually defeated by Gold's Togepi.

Trivia
- Lance's Dragonite knows Barrier in the Generation I games, although Dragonite cannot legitimately learn this move.
- Dragonite is able to learn almost every HM move in the series. As of Generation V, the only HM move it cannot learn is Rock Climb.
- Dragonite is smaller than its pre-evolution, Dragonair. The same thing happens to Gengar, Bellossom, and Porygon2.
- However, when you consider that Dragonite's size measurement refers to its standing height while Dragonair's seems to refer to its length, the two are approximately the same size from nose to tail tip. Dragonite has simply bulked up and sprouted limbs through evolution.
- Dragonite has the highest Attack of all Generation I Pokémon at 134.
- Dragonite has a white ridge down its back in both its Generation I back sprite and Pokémon Red and Green. This ridge was removed in later generations.
- Dragonite also gained a horn after the Generation I games.
- Dragonite and its evolution family are the only Dragon-type Pokémon in Generation I.
- Dragonite is one of only two non-legendary non-Template:Type2 Pokémon able to learn Dive. The other is Tsunbear.
- As of Generation V, Dragonite is the only Template:Type2 Pokémon in the brown color category.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Dragonite states that it is the guardian of the sea, something Lugia is called.
Origin
Dragonite resembles Japanese Sea-dragons, or European dragons, or fairy dragons; its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to the Chinese dragon. Similar-looking Japanese dragons exists in art done by Utagawa Kuniyoshi[1].
Name origin
Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of dragon and knight, "ignite" since it learns several Fire-type moves, or night. It could also refer to draconite, a mythical stone of dragons. Its Japanese name is a combination of 海 kai, ocean, or 破壊 hakai, destruction, and 竜 ryū, dragon.
