Despite being bulky, Dragonite are incredibly agile and fast. Unlike their pre-evolutions, they are orange and possess {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|arms and legs}}, all of which are equipped with three claws. Dragonite is considerably shorter than {{p|Dragonair}}, having lost its serpentine form. However, it retains the horn on its forehead that it possessed as a Dragonair, although it is now colored orange like most of Dragonite's body. They resemble bipedal European dragons, and each one has a pair of little green-colored wings that can increase in size while flying. They have a taller stature than most humans. Dragonite also possess S-shaped yellow antennae and a cream-colored, striated underbelly. | Despite being bulky, Dragonite are incredibly agile and fast.
