On this page, the Dragonite picture is squished... this isn't the only page that the thumbnails are squished (one of the others is [[Meloetta]]), so I was wondering if the squishing is my browser's fault, or if there's actually something wrong with the pics that someone can fix.

:New images were uploaded. I guess it's just a caching issue. Wait a couple of days at most and it should have fixed itself. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span>☆ 20:19, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
::It's been like this for two weeks... I've been waiting for that exact reason and I finally got annoyed. And also, apparently [[Meloetta]] isn't squished... it's [[Larvitar]]. I've been looking up those two Pokémon a lot today so I got confused. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 20:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
:::If it's been going on for two weeks then it's probably not on the Bulbapedia side. The images were all fine until we started changing them a few days ago, and they'll fix themselves soon, once the servers sync. The Meloetta/Larvitar issue you mention also isn't happening for me, my guess would be a caching issue of some sort in your browser. Try clearing your cache (Ctrl + F5 for Windows, Cmd + F5 for Mac in most browsers). If all images are stretched/squashed, make sure that your screen resolution setting is the right one for your monitor, a widescreen resolution on a non-widescreen monitor (or vice versa) would cause stretching. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 22:17, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
== Dragonite Skull in Ambrette Town research facility ==
So, is it too "speculatory" to state that the skull on the top shelf in the Ambrette Town research facility is that of a Dragonite's?
The shape of the skull and even the "horn" are all identical to Dragonite's [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 12:36, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:...So? It's a skull, sitting on a shelf. You can't interact with it and it's never mentioned. Why's it worth noting? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 13:45, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
::There is no need for an attitude, and its notworthy because its not everyday we get to see a Pokémon Skull beyond the cubone line. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 18:12, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:::The only attitude is one of mild confusion. As I said, the game gives no importance to it and it's not particularly interesting, so why should it be noted? While skulls aren't as common, it ''is'' an everyday occurrence for things in the Pokémon world to come from or look like Pokémon. Parfum Palace has several statues of Pokémon, but they're not notable enough for a trivia point, especially not on their species' pages; they're simply something in the background, being decorative. This isn't even the first time a dragon's skull {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dragon Skull|has been shown}} in the games, so it's not like we've never seen one before. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 19:04, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
::::You just made it notable, if not on this article, then on that article since it's clear that item is the same skull as seen on the shelf. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
:::::I fail to see how Glik made it notable.  The only thing that has been proven is that it isn't the only skull in the game.  All it is is just a bit of noise to fill the void.  --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 06:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Because it was an Item in Gen V, now its a visual element in the Gen VI games. Ok its like how the truck in gen I had the mew rumors and the remakes in Gen III put a Lava Cookie there as a somewhat Easter egg and acknowledgment to those old rumors. Something is made notable from something from the past. For all we know Lenora sent the skull off to be research and it ended up in the lab. That's speculation I know, but anything is possible. After all these games take place after the others (so much for RSE remakes, but R2S2 still possible) so who knows. Regardless, it still bears the likeness of Dragonite, and I think its worth noting on either or both articles this likeness.

== Getting an Error Message? ==
I know this isn't the most relevant place to ask, but on some pages, the pictures won't load, and give me this error message:
Error creating thumbnail: convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/tmp/magick--xMnp6WD' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
convert: missing an image filename `/tmp/transform_e71fe8d8de34-1.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3011.
I've tried searching the error up, and everyone says it's an error on ImageMagick, which from my understanding is a program MediaWiki uses? Nowhere have I found a solution, and today is the first time I've seen this error on these pages. Could someone help?

:Stuff kind of happened. [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/suggestions-ideas-problems-73904/index19.html#post5106363 Solution] (and context, if you read back in the thread a bit). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:42, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
== Zubat and Dragonite ==
On the Pokemon JP website (http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/160812_08.html) and (http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/160812_07.html) There are Pokedex entries from Pokemon Sun and Moon
== Yellow Catch Rate ==
The trivia section states that the catch rate of 9 Dragonite had in Pokémon Yellow could make a difference in gameplay suposed a ditto would transform into a dragonite, and so copy its catch rate. However, transform only copies the catch rate value in generations III and IV, so this part of the trivia is likely wrong. If that's so, someone should remove it. Just won't do it myself now in case someone disagrees. [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 22:44, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
I will just change it then. [[User:Suic12-|Suic12-]] ([[User talk:Suic12-|talk]]) 00:13, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
:Tad late, the {{m|Transform}} article also states the catch rate is only copied in Gen III and IV.

== Why not to tell that this and its family is the only dragon type alongside with Gengar being the only ghost type in generation 1? ==

== Should a picture of the skeleton from the anime be added? ==
The anime has shown a few times the skeleton of a Dragonite, the last time being in ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold!]]''. Should a picture of said skeleton be added in the main page?--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:03, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
== Gen VIII Level Up moves ==
I noticed that here and on serebii.net, Dragonite's Outrage is listed at level 41, but sorted in the table between 62 and 80. Why isn't it sorted correctly? Should the 41 be a 71? [[User:Hero231|Hero231]] ([[User talk:Hero231|talk]]) 17:43, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
:It's a moveset error. 41 is correct.--[[User:Tmwps|Tmwps]] ([[User talk:Tmwps|talk]]) 17:50, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
