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

==Biology==
==Biology==
Dratini is a serpentine Pokémon with a blue body and a white belly. It has a white fin on either side of its head and a white bump on its forehead. Above its large, round, white snout are oval, purple eyes. As Dratini is filled with life energy, it is constantly growing, and can thus grow to be over six feet long. As it grows, it sheds its skin. Whenever Dratini undergoes shedding, it hides behind a large waterfall. It has been found in colonies living {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|underwater}}.
[[File:Dratini molting.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dratini shedding its skin]]
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.


==In the anime==
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.

===Major appearances===
====[[Clair's Dragonair|Clair's Dratini]]====
{{TP|Clair|Dratini|Dragonair}}'s first dub appearance was in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This Dratini belonged to [[Clair]] and {{TRT}} wanted to steal it from her. Clair's Dratini evolved into a {{p|Dragonair}} at the end of the episode.


====Other====
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''.
Dratini first appeared in [[EP035]]. [[Kaiser|The Warden]] of the {{safari|Kanto}} was protecting the Dragon Pokémon. The episode was banned from English-audiences due to excessive use of a firearm.
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}}.


===Minor appearances===
===Evolution===
A Dratini appeared in one of {{TRT}}'s fantasies in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.
Dratini evolves into {{p|Dragonair}}, which evolves into {{p|Dragonite}}.


Another Dratini appeared in ''[[PK09|Snorlax Snowmen]]''.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

==In the manga==
[[File:Dratini PM.png|thumb|Dratini in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Dratini first debuted in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' in [[Viridian Forest]]. It had been attacking {{adv|Yellow}} but was calmed by {{adv|Red}}.
Dratini was seen in a flashback of [[Lance]]'s as a Pokémon harmed by human industrialization. This motivated Lance to formulate his plot to destroy humanity many years later.
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Dratini appeared in [[Lance's Dragonite]]'s fantasy in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' when it was telling a false story about how it met Lance.
Dratini appeared in ''[[PM059|Good-Bye, Pikachu?!]]'' where it took a liking to {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}. When {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} showed up with {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, Pikachu decided to protect the Dratini. 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.
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} found a Dratini in the Safari Zone, which he gave to a fisherman afterwards.
==In the TCG==
{{main|Dratini (TCG)}}
==In the TFG==
One Dratini figure has been released:

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.

[[Lance]]'s Dragonite was once a Dratini, as shown in a flashback in ''[[PS090|The Legend]]''. It was also revealed to be a Pokémon harmed by human industrialization. This motivated Lance to formulate his plot to destroy humanity many years later.
 
[[Clair]]'s Dragonair was once a Dratini, as shown in a flashback in ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]''.
 
In ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'', a Dratini was sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

A Dratini appeared in ''[[PM059|Good-Bye, Pikachu?!]]'', where it took a liking to {{TP|Red|Pikachu|Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)}}. 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 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''.

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}}, its evolutions, {{p|Salamence}}, and {{p|Goodra}}. 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.

===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 {{tt|5'11"|1.8 meters}} in length. The name therefore may be in comparison to the size of {{p|Dragonair}}, whose length is {{tt|13'01"|4.0 meters}}.
Dratini may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''teeny'', ''tiny'', or ''mini''.


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