Dragonair's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Dragonair PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

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.

Dragonair PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 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. 👎
