Dragonite is a powerful and majestic Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Known as the "Dragon Pokémon," it is the final evolution of Dratini and Dragonair. Despite its bulky appearance, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, able to circle the globe in just sixteen hours. It possesses human-like intelligence and is known for its kindhearted nature. Dragonite is often referred to as the "sea guardian" or "Sea Incarnate," and many ships have figureheads decorated to resemble it.

This rare Pokémon is said to make its home somewhere in the sea and is known for guiding lost ships to safety during storms. Dragonite has been observed sleeping soundly while displaying its belly, a sight said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over vast seas. It has the ability to affect weather patterns, as stated by the Gym Leader Drayden. In the Fiore region, Dragonite are used by Pokémon Rangers for a flying service called the "Dragonite Bus".

Dragonite is classified as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon due to its high base stat total and slow leveling rate. It evolves from Dragonair at level 55, making it one of the later-evolving Pokémon in the game. Despite its generally gentle nature, Dragonite can go on destructive rampages when angered, often calming down only after smashing everything that upset it.
