“A Dragonair stores an enormous amount of energy inside its body. It is said to alter the weather by losing energy from the crystals on its neck and tail!”
Dragonair is a Gen 1 Dragon type Pokémon. They are a long, serpent-like Pokémon with light blue skin and a white underbelly. They have large, purple eyes, a horn on it's forehead, and wings on each side of their head! Additionally, they have a crystal orb on their neck, and two more on their tail. The wings on it's head grow bigger when it flies, and the gentle aura from it's crystal orbs allows it to alter the weather around them.
Dragonair evolves from Dratini at level 30 and evolves
into Dragonite at level 35.
The name “Dragonair” is a combination of the words dragon and air.
It’s Japanese name, ハクリュー or Hakuryu is derived from 白竜 (hakuryū) meaning “White Dragon”.
Its design draws influence from the Imugi, a mythical dragon from Korean mythology that resembles a snake.
It is also inspired by Sea serpents or Ryu, traditional Japanese dragons who bring good luck.
The orb on Dragonair's neck may also be inspired by Chinese dragons, and their relationship with pearls, which symbolize prosperity, power and immortality. (It can also grant wishes!)
