    Dratini in the meta

    Dratini in the meta

    PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

    The first Dragon-type Pokémon in the franchise, Dratini is an adorable little serpentine dragon that doesn't have high stats, being the start of a three-stage evolution line.

    It's all good, Dratini… you'll grow up to be great. 🥹

    ⚔️ Raids

    Forget stats, Dratini doesn't even have a good Dragon moveset to matter in Raids. 🤭

    🛡️ Gyms

    Too weak defensively.

    PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

    🧸 Little Cup

    A couple of factors make Dratini a useful addition to the Little Cup meta. One, Dragon Breath is among the best PvP Quick moves, giving this little dragon excellent offensive coverage. 🐉

    Two, its Charged moves Aqua Tail and Wrap are both relatively cheap and sync well with Dragon Breath.

    Moreover, it has pretty good stats for a Little Cup Pokémon. 👌 A match winner in more situations than you'd expect!

    🔵 Great League

    Nope. 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️

    🟡 Ultra League

    Its max CP doesn't even cross 1500. 😬

    🟣 Master League

    Dratini, you need to be a fully grown-up to fight here. 😄
