Trivia
- Dragonite has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. It is tied with the four other pseudo-legendary evolutions and with many other legendaries for base stat average, including Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Latios, and Latias.
- Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Dragonite evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with Tyranitar.
- However, Dragonite can be obtained at level 50 through certain events.
- Lance's Dragonite knows Barrier in the Generation I games, although Dragonite cannot learn this move legitimately.
- Lance also has three Dragonite below level 55 during Generation II. This is seen again in the Generation IV remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Given that the size of the Pokémon world is approximately the same as Earth, and Dragonite can make a complete cycle of the Earth in sixteen hours, Dragonite's top flying speed is roughly 1,556 mph, approximately three times the speed of an average airplane.
- Despite this, its Speed stat is its lowest stat.
- Dragonite is able to learn almost every HM move in the series. As of Generation IV, the only HM move it cannot learn is Rock Climb.
- Dragonite is smaller than its pre-evolution, Dragonair. The same thing happens to Gengar, Bellossom, and Porygon2.
- Dragonite has the highest Attack of all Generation I Pokémon at 134.
- Dragonite has a white stripe down its back in back in Generation I, but it was removed in later generations.
Origin
Dragonite resembles a European dragon or fairy dragon; its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to Chinese dragon.
Name origin
Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of dragon and knight, "ignite" since it learns several Fire-type moves, or night. It could also refer to draconite, a mythical stone of dragons. Its Japanese name is a combination of 海 kai, ocean, or 破壊 hakai, destruction, and 竜 ryū, dragon.
