'''Dratini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミニリュウ''' ''Miniryu'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}} starting at level 55.

===Physiology===
[[File:Dratini molting.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dratini shedding its skin]]
Dratini are {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} Pokémon that inhabit lakes and rivers. They possess white fins on the sides of their heads as well as a large, round silver nose on their face. They also have purple-colored eyes and a small, white circular feature on their head. Dratini are constantly growing, and can become quite long. As they grow, they {{a|Shed Skin|shed their delicate deep blue skin}}. Dratini also seem to have a much stockier body than their {{p|Dragonair|evolved form}}.
Dratini is a {{wp|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a blue serpentine body and a white underside. It has white, three-pronged fins on the sides of its head and a white bump on its forehead, which is its horn growing. Above its round, white snout are oval, purple eyes.


====Gender differences====
Dratini's life energy is constantly building so it is always growing, and can reach lengths of over six feet (2 meters). As it grows, it sheds its skin regularly; it hides behind a rapid waterfall during the process to protect itself, since the new skin is soft in texture. The shed skin can be tanned and used to create luxury boots. Dratini has been referred as the "Mirage Pokémon", because its existence was originally thought to be nothing more than a myth. Dratini was first discovered by a fisherman who spent 10 hours attempting to capture it. A small colony has also been found underwater, further confirming its existence. Dratini live {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near or in bodies of water}} with a rapid flow, such as the pools at the bottom of waterfalls. It lives a quiet life underwater, eating any food that sinks down to the bottom.  
None.


===Special abilities===
As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dratini's sleeping habits used to be a mystery due to how rare it was.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref> However in recent years, Dratini's sleep styles have been discovered and well documented. This is due to trainers who have obtained Dratini and observed its sleeping habits. The four different sleep styles discovered are called ''Coiled Sleep'', ''Wriggly Sleep'', ''Uncoiled Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.
As a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, Dratini can use Dragon-type moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|Twister}}. They are also capable of using {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Ice}}, and {{type|Fire}} moves. Some examples are {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, and {{m|Flamethrower}}.
In [[Generation II]], Dratini and its evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Dratini are timid, elusive, and extremely shy Pokémon, and thus are rarely seen, resulting in the belief that they are mythological among certain communities in Kanto.
Dratini evolves into {{p|Dragonair}}, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}}.


===Habitat===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
[[File:Waters-edge Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
Dratini are said to be nonexistent or one-of-a-kind Pokémon, as they are so rare. However, they are found in several places, including the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Dragon's Den]], [[Mt. Coronet]], and [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', due to {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s influence, [[Ash's Dragonite]] [[devolution|devolved]] into a Dragonair and then into a Dratini. It was later reverted in the same episode.

When {{PPM|Giovanni}} showed up with {{TP|Giovanni|Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan}}, Pikachu decided to protect it. Dratini then evolved into a Dragonair when it noticed that Pikachu got injured by Giovanni's {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Electabuzz}}. It evolved again into Dragonite when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} pulled its tail.
 
===Pokémon Zensho===
In [[PZ06]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} found a Dratini while [[fishing]] in the {{safari|Kanto}}. Soon afterwards, he [[trade]]d it to a {{tc|Fisherman}} in exchange for several {{type|Water}} Pokémon and the [[Baoba|Safari Zone Warden]]'s [[Gold Teeth|missing dentures]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Dratini was originally known as "Dragoon". Although this word can mean a European military unit that is transported on horseback but fights on foot, the name was probably selected as a combination of ''dragon'' and ''lagoon''.
* In early English-language promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Dratini was referred to as "Dragoon". Although this word can mean a European military unit that is transported on horseback but fights on foot, the name was probably selected as a combination of ''dragon'' and ''lagoon''.
* Dratini and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}} and its evolutions, and {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], Dratini and Dragonair can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} via leveling up, but not via [[TM]]. This was fixed in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* Dratini's sprite in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green featured it with a striped stomach which was removed for {{game|Yellow}} and all following games.
* Dratini and its evolved forms share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Horsea}}, its evolved forms, {{p|Salamence}}, and [[Regional form|Kalosian]] {{p|Goodra}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* Dratini is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''ryu'', traditional {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s or {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck. Its constant growth is similar to that of {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, a serpent in Norse mythology. Its reclusive nature and the fact that for a long time it was considered a myth is reminiscent of the {{wp|loch ness monster}}.
Dratini appears to be based on {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''ryu'', traditional {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s or {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck. Its constant growth is similar to that of snakes, who grow as long as they live. Additionally, its reclusive nature, aquatic habitat, and the fact that, for a long time, it was considered a myth are reminiscent of the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Dratini is a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and a corruption of ''tiny''; ''tini-tiny'' is a phrase to indicate smallness. ''Ini'' is also an Italian suffix, applied to a word to imply endearment or smallness. Despite this, it is fairly large for a Pokémon, being nearly six feet (1.8 meters) in length.  
Dratini may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''teeny'', ''tiny'', or ''mini''.


Miniryu a combination of ''miniature'' and 竜 ''ryū'' (dragon).
