      PvE AnalysisPvE 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.

      PvE AnalysisPvP 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

      Photobomb

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Dragonair's Dragon-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Dragonair.

      Dragon Dragon

      Pokédex informationMore information

      Mega and Primal Raid BonusMega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

      Mega and Primal Catch BonusWhile a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. 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.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

              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.
