Learnset

By Move Tutor

Draco Meteor can only be tutored to Dragon-type Pokémon (with the exception of Arceus, which can learn it regardless of which Plate it's holding). In the Sinnoh region, the tutor (grandma Wilma) can be found on Route 210 in her house, and in Johto, the tutor is in Blackthorn City. In the Unova region, the Opelucid City's Gym Leader, IrisB or DraydenWB2W2 will teach this move instead, with the same requirements.

Similar to Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, and Hydro Cannon, the Pokémon that the move is to be taught to must have its friendship rating maximized.
