==Effect==
Dragon Tail inflicts damage. Additionally, it will automatically end wild Pokémon battles or, in a Trainer battle, it will switch out the opposing Pokémon to the next Pokémon in line that has not fainted. If using this move causes the user to faint (such as if the target is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}} or has the ability {{a|Rough Skin}} or {{a|Iron Barbs}}), the target will not be forced to switch. Like {{m|Roar}} and {{m|Whirlwind}}, Dragon Tail also has decreased priority. However, using this move through {{m|Sleep Talk}} ignores the decreased priority as the priority of Sleep Talk is checked rather than the move that follows.

Dragon Tail will fail to end wild Pokémon battles or switch out the opposing Trainer's Pokémon if it has the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}}, is under the effects of {{m|Ingrain}}, or has {{m|Substitute}} set up. It will also fail to end wild Pokémon battles if the user is at a lower level than the foe. In a Trainer battle, it will fail to switch out the opposing Pokémon if there isn't another to take its place.
