'''Dragon Tail''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンテール''' ''Dragon Tail'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is [[TM82]] as of Generation V.

Dragon Tail inflicts damage and has decreased [[priority]]. In a Trainer battle, it will [[recall|switch out]] the target to the next Pokémon in line that has not fainted (if there is one). In a wild Pokémon battle with a single wild Pokémon, this move will cause the battle to end if the user's level is equal or greater than the target's; however, if there are multiple wild Pokémon in the battle, it works the same as in a Trainer battle.

Dragon Tail will fail to end wild Pokémon battles or switch out the opposing Trainer's Pokémon if the target has the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}}, is under the effects of {{m|Ingrain}}, or has {{m|Substitute}} set up.
