Trivia

• Dragon Rage is the only Dragon-type move in Generation I. However, it is not affected by type match-ups, so there are no moves that deal Dragon-type damage in Generation I.
• While generally rage describes an uncontrolled release of anger, the move has a controlled amount of damage dealt.
• In Pokémon Stadium 2, Dragon Rage is disabled in the Little Cup due to low level Pokémon having low HP.
