Dragonair debuted as a Dratini in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', where it was sleeping by a riverside. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} tried approaching it for a closer look, {{p|Gyarados}} appeared to protect Dratini. Dratini left with Clair and Gyarados following close behind.

During the group's lunchtime, Team Rocket returned, disguised as an elderly couple. They pretended to take pictures but as soon as Clair allowed them to go near Dratini, their canes activated which trapped Dratini inside a net. Team Rocket wasn't able to keep Dratini for long as it rocked the balloon, which caused the balloon to crash and Dratini to escape. After {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} was {{m|counter}}ed by {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, Clair jumped in to protect Dratini from a stray Thunderbolt. This caused Dratini to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Dragonair}}. Dragonair finished the villains with {{m|Twister}} combined with Gyarados's {{m|Hyper Beam}}. It led the group to Riverhead Falls where Clair performed her ritual.

In ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', the Dragon Holy Land was in flames and Clair sent out Dragonair to help put out the fire with {{m|Rain Dance}}. With the fire out, Dragonair fought a {{m|Outrage|rampaging}} {{p|Dragonite}} in an attempt to calm her along with {{AP|Charizard}} and Pikachu.

Clair used Dragonair as her final Pokémon in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', after two of her Pokémon were already defeated. It fought against Ash's Pikachu and managed to defeat him easily with {{m|Hyper Beam}} with the help of its speed and power. Dragonair fought Charizard next as Ash's final Pokémon. It proved to be a tough challenge for Charizard as well as it kept on dodging Charizard's attacks by diving underwater. Dragonair also had a wide range of moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}} which also gave Charizard problems. Ash had an idea by having Charizard evaporate the pool water to prevent Dragonair from hiding in there to dodge attacks. Despite doing so, Dragonair resorted to attacking and defending. Charizard was finally able to defeat Dragonair with a flaming {{m|Seismic Toss}} earning Ash the {{badge|Rising}}.
