===History===
Dragonair first appeared as a {{p|Dratini}} in the episode ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. Its voice actress in both Japanese and English is ''[[Megumi Hayashibara]]''.
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:Clair Dratini.png|thumb|left|220px|As a Dratini]]
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. It caught the attention of {{TRT}} and [[Jessie]] tried catching it on her own with the help of [[James's Weezing]], but Gyarados arrived in the nick of time to prevent that from happening. Clair then revealed that Dratini was shedding its skin.
[[File:Clair and Dragonair.png|thumb|250px|Dragonair and Clair]]
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.


It was shedding its skin and Clair was protecting it at that time. When [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal Dratini, Clair protected it which led it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Dragonair}}.
In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Clair sent Dragonair out to navigate her and the group across the [[Dragon's Den]] to get to the [[Dragon Holy Land]]. It tried to stop Team Rocket from stealing the [[Dragon Fang]].


It later appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'' where it tried to stop Team Rocket from stealing the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. When the [[Dragon Holy Land]] was in flames, Dragonair helped to put out the fire. It also helped to calm the rampaging {{p|Dragonite}} along with {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}.
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. It was able to calm Dragonite by creating thunder clouds with the help of Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}}.


Clair used it in the Gym battle against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. With its speed and power, it defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] easily. With a wide range of moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}}, it proved to be a tough challenge for {{TP|Ash|Charizard}} as well. But finally it was able to defeat Dragonair with {{m|Seismic Toss}} earning Ash the {{badge|Rising}}.
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 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 then had an idea to have Charizard evaporate the pool water with {{m|Fire Spin}} 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}}.
[[File:Clair Dragonair Rain Dance.png|thumb|250px|Dragonair in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Dragonair reappeared along with Clair in ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!!]]'', where it helped Ash find his missing Gym Badges which were stolen by Team Rocket. After finding Team Rocket, it saved Ash from a big fall and then went after their balloon.


Dragonair also appeared along with Clair in ''[[EP255|Why? Why Not!]]'' where it helped Ash find his missing Gym badges which were stolen by Team Rocket.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Dragonair made a brief cameo during {{an|Lyra}}'s introduction of the [[Johto]] [[region]] in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
It reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' and ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''.
 
===Personality and characteristics===
Dragonair, as a Dratini, was a friendly Pokémon during its debut appearance. Dratini was not yet experienced with Pokémon battles as Clair would often protect it. However, during an encounter with {{TRT}}, Dratini evolved into Dragonair and saved both it and its Trainer, which caused Clair to want to use it in battles. Dragonair managed to hold its own in battles as it managed to do well handling its evolved form, [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}}. Dragonair also had good swimming and flying skills which became useful during the Gym battle with Ash.
 
Dragonair was also show to be both very helpful and protective. When the [[Dragon Holy Land]] was on fire, Dragonair went out of its way to put the fire out and to protect Ash's Pokémon from a rampaging Dragonite. It even helped calm the Dragonite from her rage.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Clair's Dragonair was revealed to have been raised from a {{p|Dratini}} since Clair's childhood. It debuted in the chapter ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'', where it was first seen defeating Clair's [[Ryu|disciple]]'s {{p|Seadra}} in a battle. Later, Clair used Dragonair to battle against {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}, but was defeated when it tricked them into attacking its ice reflection and launched a powerful {{m|Bubble Beam}}.
 
In ''[[PS168|The Last Battle II]]'', Clair used her Dragonair to fight off the brainwashed {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the [[Magnet Train]]. On the same train, she then used it to battle [[Blaine]] and to make him disclose the whereabouts of [[Lance]]. However, Dragonair was quickly defeated by Blaine's {{p|Entei}}, and after acknowledging this loss, she sent in the report that Blaine had defeated her, winning the [[Indigo Plateau]] Kanto vs. Johto Gym Leader tournament in Kanto's favor.
 
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
In ''[[PS445|Dealing With A Koffing Fit]]'', Clair and Dragonair reappeared before {{adv|Silver}} in Lance's hideout at [[Whirl Islands]], thinking that he had something to do with Lance's disappearance.

==Trivia==
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
*{{p|Dratini}} is the third Pokémon belonging to a [[Gym Leader]] to have evolved on-screen, excluding any of {{an|Brock}}'s or {{an|Misty}}'s that apply.
[[File:Clair Dragonair PM.png|thumb|200px|Dragonair in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
[[File:Clair and Dragonair PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Dragonair and Clair]]
Clair's Dragonair debuted in ''[[PM103|The Ultimate Battle...?!]]'', where she sent it out to battle {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}. As Red had {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} battle Dragonair, Clefairy became intimidated by the Dragon Pokémon but was willing to take it on. As Clefairy went for the first move, Dragonair took it in as if it was nothing. Clefairy then got angry after Clair laughed at him as she found it funny. When Clefairy tried attacking again, Dragonair {{m|Wrap|squeezed}} Clefairy tightly. {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}} battled Dragonair to save his cousin but he easily became immobile after getting hit by Dragonair's {{m|Dragon Breath}}.
 
With no other choice, {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} had to battle Dragonair even though he and Clefairy got into a fight earlier but Red scolded him to battle Dragonair. After dodging many Dragon Breaths, Tyrogue managed to free Clefairy by {{m|Mach Punch}}ing Dragonair. With Clefairy able to battle again, he worked with Tyrogue to take on Dragonair. Using {{m|Double Team}}, both Clefairy and Tyrogue defeat the Dragon Pokémon.
