Dragonite's backstory is rooted in its evolutionary lineage. It begins life as a Dratini, a serpentine Dragon-type Pokémon, which then evolves into Dragonair, maintaining its serpentine form but gaining a more mystical appearance. Upon reaching level 55, Dragonair evolves into Dragonite, transforming into a large, draconic creature capable of flight. This evolution signifies a significant power boost, marking Dragonite as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, a category reserved for those with exceptionally high stats and formidable abilities.
In the Pokémon world, Dragonite plays a significant role due to its strength and versatility. It is known to be incredibly rare in the wild, typically residing near the sea.
