In ''[[BW101|Drayden Versus Iris: Past, Present, and Future!]]'', Iris used Dragonite during her battle against [[Drayden]] and his {{p|Druddigon}}. Dragonite's starting move, Thunder Punch, was easily blocked by the Cave Pokémon, which then hit back with a fierce Dragon Claw. Despite this, he was still strong enough to counter Druddigon's following {{m|Flash Cannon}} attack with {{m|Flamethrower}}. When he attempted to use Thunder Punch again, Druddigon used {{m|Double Team}} to hide itself. However, with Iris's support, the Dragon Pokémon was able to identify the real Druddigon in the middle of the copies and land a successful hit with Thunder Punch. Iris followed that up an Ice Beam attack, which made a direct hit, but, much to everyone's surprise, Druddigon merely repelled the ice from its body. Iris then told Dragonite to attack with Dragon Rush, but Druddigon was easily able to intercept the attack, throw Dragonite away, and then serve the finishing blow with a strong {{m|Dragon Tail}}, causing Iris to lose the match.

In ''[[BW113|The Light Of Floccesy Ranch]]'', Iris asked Dragonite to teach a farmer's [[Ampharos (Pokémon)|Ampharos]] how to use Thunder Punch, so it could properly guard a flock of [[Mareep (Pokémon)|Mareep]]. Despite feeling very reluctant about the whole idea, he still took up the mantle of Ampharos' coach for the day, and was very displeased when Ampharos' owners discussed trading it away because it was too timid. When Team Rocket threatened the herd, Dragonite teamed up with [[Ash's Snivy]] to defend them. He also gave Ampharos the confidence boost it needed to pull off its first successful Thunder Punch and save everyone. Afterwards, Iris and her friends joked among themselves that they got to see a softer side of Dragonite's personality that day, much to his chagrin.
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Dragonite, along with Iris's other Pokémon, was introduced to [[Ash's Charizard]], where he immediately struck a rivalry with the Flame Pokémon. As a result, Ash proposed a battle between the two, which they agreed to. The match started with a collision of Flamethrowers, after which the two continued their battle in the sky. Dragonite then cancelled Charizard's {{m|Wing Attack}} with a Thunder Punch and grounded him by using a powerful {{m|Dragon Rush}} to overcome Charizard's {{m|Slash}}. However, Dragonite was surprised and frustrated to see that Charizard had emerged unscathed from the attack, and was lured by Charizard into his powerful Dragon Tail. The battle was then stopped by {{an|N}} because he knew that both Dragonite and Charizard battled long enough to understand each other and their strengths.
