Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}},'' "ignite" since it learns several Fire-type moves, or ''night''. It could also refer to ''draconite'', a mythical stone of dragons. Its Japanese name is a combination of 海 ''kai'', ocean, or 破壊 ''hakai'', destruction, and 竜 ''ryū'', dragon. | Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}},'' "ignite" since it learns several Fire-type moves, or ''night''.
