Description: Shaped like an eel, Dratini is a long, blue and white Dragon Pokémon. It has whit, three-pronged fins on either side of its head and a white bump at the center of its forehead. Its snout and belly are also white and it has very large purple eyes. As its life energy builds, Dratini continue to grow, reaching lengths over six foot before evolving. They are incredibly rare, so much so that they were once considered to be a myth; however, in recent years, an underwater Dratini colony was discovered. While Dratini will surface occasionally, they tend to spend most of their lives at the bottom of whatever body of water they inhabit.
In Pokémon Go, they are far more common, often appearing near water, as well as beign part of their own Special Research line. They're so common that Team GO Rocket has captured and corrupted quite a few of them. The resulting Shadow Dratini can be purified or even evolved to make Shadow Dragonair or Shadow Dragonite.

Pokédex: Dratini continually molts and sloughs off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels.
