Dragon Rage (Japanese: りゅうのいかり Dragon Rage) is a damage-dealing Dragon-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM23 in Generation I.

Effect

Generations I and II

Dragon Rage always inflicts exactly 40 HP damage if it hits. It has no secondary effects and does not take weaknesses or resistances into account; however, it does not ignore type immunity.

In Generation II only, its base power is displayed as 40 instead of —.

Generation III

Dragon Rage can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, and DragonBreath to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal points if Dragon Dance or DragonBreath was used in the previous turn.

Dragon Rage is now affected by King's Rock.

Generation IV

Dragon Rage is no longer affected by King's Rock.

Generations V to VII

Dragon Rage is now affected by King's Rock.

Generation VIII onwards

Dragon Rage cannot be selected in a battle.

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.
• In Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokémon Battle Revolution, Dragon Rage is disabled in the Little Cup due to low level Pokémon having low HP.
• Growlithe, Arcanine, and Mew are the only non-draconic Pokémon to learn this move, and only in Generation I.
• Excluding Z-Moves, Dragon Rage is the only Dragon-type move to not be usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
