Dragonair in the meta

PvE Analysis

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

🔵 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. 👎

Mega Pokémon that boost Dragonair

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.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Dragonair, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
