PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Dragon Attacker:
Dragon Breath
Dragon Pulse
Dragonair has average stats throughout, but when you're completely outclassed by your own evolution, it's wise to be patient and evolve. 🧬
⚔️ Raids
Just like Dratini, it doesn't even have a usable Dragon-type moveset. 😮💨
🛡️ Gyms
Dragonair’s worst stat is its DEF, and that should tell you not to put it in Gyms.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Dragon Breath
Aqua Tail
Dragon Pulse
🔵 Great League
Paired with the ever-resourceful Dragon Breath, Dragonair has two 35-energy Charged moves in Aqua Tail and Body Slam. While this does give it some degree of usage in this format, the problem lies in the fact that it is severely outclassed by other Pokémon. 🥲 Even Dragonite is better than Dragonair in the Great League! 😅
🟡 Ultra League
Gets overpowered by nearly everything. Avoid using Dragonair here. 🫣
🟣 Master League
Yes, Dragons rule the Master League, but it isn't cut for something of Dragonair's caliber. 👎
