[[File:Lance and Dragonite.png|thumb|left|200px|Lance and his Dragonite]]

Dragonite first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]''. It saved {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from getting hit by {{TR|Tyson}}'s {{p|Fearow}}'s {{m|Drill Peck}} by using {{m|Thunder Wave}} on Fearow. Unlike [[Ash's Totodile]], Dragonite was not affected by the Evolution Inducement Ray that [[Team Rocket]] of Mahogany Town built. Lance fled on his Dragonite after it used {{m|Whirlwind}} on Tyson and the grunts. They met up with Ash and his friends afterwards. Later, Dragonite once again used Thunder Wave to save them from a Pokémon attack but from [[Jessie's Arbok]]'s {{m|Poison Sting}} this time. Afterwards, Dragonite sent Arbok along with the [[Team Rocket trio]] blasting off. With the trio taken care off, Lance had Dragonite destroy the Evolution Inducement Ray's source. They fled along with Ash and the gang. Tyson then had a rematch with Dragonite and sent out not one, but two Fearow to take on the Dragon Pokémon. It was a tough battle for Dragonite as it felt outnumbered but it was able to defeat both Fearow with {{m|Twister}}. Since Tyson had no options left, he ended up getting arrested by [[Officer Jenny]]. After defeating Tyson, Dragonite took on the [[Red Gyarados]] as Lance wanted to catch the {{Shiny|different colored}} Gyarados. Dragonite was able to weaken the Gyarados long enough for Lance to catch it. With the Gyarados caught, Lance flew away on his Dragonite and said his farewells to Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}.

Dragonite reappeared during ''[[AG098|Gaining Groudon]]'' to help battle against [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Lance had it attack the hole {{AP|Pikachu}} made earlier in order to free Ash from Team Magma's helicopter. He then flew on Dragonite to take on [[Archie]] and {{p|Kyogre}}. Kyogre launched a {{m|Hydro Pump}} which Dragonite narrowly dodged. He offered Ash to ride on Dragonite as Ash, {{an|May}}, [[Max]] and Brock chose to stay despite the situation being dangerous. After Kyogre was defeated by {{p|Groudon}}'s {{m|SolarBeam}}, Dragonite saved Archie from falling as the orb separated from his body.
