Dragonair <sup>(JPJapanese: ハクリュー

Romaji: Hakuryu)</sup> is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Dragon-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. It evolves from Dratini starting at level 30, and into Dragonite starting at level 55.

Physiology and Behavior

Dragonair is a long, serpentine Pokémon with sky blue scales and a white underside. It has a rounded snout, oval purple eyes, and a small, white horn on its forehead. On each side of its head is a small, stylized wing, which is white and curves into a swirl at the base. Three blue, crystal orbs adorn its body: one on its neck and two on its tail.

Dragonair emits a gentle aura that gives it a mystical appearance. As seen in the anime, it can make its wings grow larger in order to fly, but otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the crystals on its neck and tail. This causes its body to brighten and give off a different aura that changes the weather in its vicinity. As a result, Dragonair has been referred as a divine Pokémon since ancient times by agricultural people. Dragonair is a rare Pokémon that inhabits pristine seas and lakes. The lakes Dragonair lives in are usually filled with offerings from people in gratitude. It is said that a person who sees a Dragonair at the start of a year will be healthy for the whole year.

Appearances

In the anime

Dragonair debuted in The Legend of Dratini, which is unaired outside Japan due to guns. Its English debut is on the Pikachu short Pikachu's Rescue Adventure.
