      PvE AnalysisPvE 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.

      PvP AnalysisPvP 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. 👎

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
