Stats & Training
An unusually even spread gives Dragonair flexibility. Attack barely edges ahead. But HP isn't far off. Tough to catch and follows a slow 1.25M XP grind. Yields 2 Attack EVs.
Lakes where Dragonair live are filled with offerings from people, because they believe this Pokémon is able to control the weather.
Some say that if you see it at the start of the year, flying through the sky and twisting its body, you’ll be healthy all year long.

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Evolution
Partway through Dratini's chain. Dragonair still has another evolution ahead before reaching Dragonite. For breeding, takes forever to hatch with plenty of partners via two egg groups. HP has grown the most so far (+20), but there's still another 180 stats to gain in the final evolution. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Dragonair Best Moveset
One boost from Dragon Dance and Dragonair gets dangerous fast. The Adamant nature targets max Attack and Speed, and Shedskin backs the whole approach. Dragon Dance and the remaining moves handle most of what's left standing.
