Dragonite Explained
According to the official Pokémon website, Dragonite is by nature kindhearted. It is often seen leading "lost and floundering ships in a storm to the safety of land." The first evolution stage for this pokémon starts at Dratini. Afterwards, Dratini evolves to Dragonair. Dragonite is the final evolutionary stage for the fabled creature.
Regarding stats, the Dragon-type Pokémon stands at a little over seven feet. It weighs in 463 lbs, making it one of the heavier Pokémon in the game. Even so, Dragonite is not without its weaknesses. The animal is vulnerable to ice, fairy, rock, and other dragons.
