In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Dragonite was sent out to battle the [[Kami trio]]. As usual it just took off without even waiting for Iris to say anything and ended up getting hurt in the process. When Iris tried to comfort Dragonite, it was still hesitant towards its new Trainer. However, once Iris stepped in front of Dragonite to block {{p|Thundurus}}'s attack, it started to see that Iris really did care for it. After Iris gained its trust, she commanded Dragonite to go help the other Pokémon fight the trio and was able to hold them off so that Ash could stop {{an|Giovanni}}. | In ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Dragonite was sent out to battle the [[Kami trio]].

In [[BW100]], Iris sent Dragonite out to meet the [[Elder]] at the [[Village of Dragons]]. Straight away, Dragonite picked a fight with a wild {{p|Haxorus}} that was resting near by. In the midst of their close combat, the Elder came between them. After she had calmed Haxorus, she did the same to Dragonite by massaging its stomach. Later, when [[Shōbu]]'s newly evolved {{p|Hydreigon}} lost control of itself, Dragonite teamed up with {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} to chase the Brutal Pokémon across the lake and corner it on shore. | In ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]'', Iris sent Dragonite out to meet the [[Elder]] at the [[Village of Dragons]].

In [[BW101]], Iris used Dragonite during her battle against [[Drayden]] and his {{p|Druddigon}}. Dragonite's starting move, ThunderPunch, was easily blocked the Cave Pokémon, which then hit back with a fierce Dragon Claw, hurting Dragonite. Despite of this, it was still strong enough to counter Druddigon's following {{m|Flash Cannon}} attack with {{m|Flamethrower}}. When it attempted to use ThunderPunch again, Druddigon used {{m|Double Team}} to hide itself. However, with Iris's loyal support, the Dragon Pokémon was able to identify the real Druddigon in the middle of the copies, and land a successful hit on it with ThunderPunch. Iris followed right away with an Ice Beam attack, which made a direct hit, but, much to everyone's surprise, Druddigon merely repelled the ice from its body, even though the move was supposed to be super effective. Iris then told Dragonite to attack with Dragon Rush, but Druddigon was easily able to intercept the attack, throw Dragonite away, and then serve the finishing blow with a strong {{m|Dragon Tail}}, causing Iris to lose the match. | In ''[[BW101|Drayden Versus Iris: Past, Present, and Future!]]'', Iris used Dragonite during her battle against [[Drayden]] and his {{p|Druddigon}}.

Dragonite is the kind of Pokémon that is ready and willing to take on all opponents. Its hostile facial expression notably sets it apart from all other Dragonite. Though it is tough, it may have a certain soft spot for Iris as it let itself be captured easily. However, as seen in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', it isn't so ready to listen to her commands. Slowly but surely Dragonite started trusting its Trainer, from its first battle against Georgia's Beartic, which it didn't listen to Iris at all, to ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'' in which Dragonite only listened to Iris's first command against Dawn's Mamoswine, then ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'' where Dragonite listened to all of Iris's orders against Ash's Krokorok until it evolved into Krookodile and hit it with its newly learned Dragon Claw. By ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', Dragonite understood its trainers feelings, and then from then on, it started to obey Iris. | Dragonite is the kind of Pokémon that is ready and willing to take on all opponents.

Even though it began to follow Iris's commands, Dragonite still maintains its hostile nature outside of battles, as seen in [[BW100]] which Dragonite noticed a wild Haxorus and immediately picked a fight with it. However at the Opelucid Gym, as seen in [[BW101]], it exhibits fair play up to a point; it opted not to use flight-based moves against Drayden's Druddigon initially, as that Dragon-type could not fly. | Even though it began to follow Iris's commands, Dragonite still maintains its hostile nature outside of battles, as seen in ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]'' which Dragonite noticed a wild Haxorus and immediately picked a fight with it.
