Dragonite | Pokémon guide

Whether you think the Pokémon Dragonite is cool as heck or goofy-looking, you can't deny it's a classic. Both regular and Mega Evolved versions can really help turn the tide in battle using some super-strong moves that blast away the competition.

As a certified dragon Pokémon collector, I aim to get a Dragonite in every game I can. If you want to join me on my quest, you can see all of them in our Pokédex here.

Here's everything in our Dragonite guide:

How do I get Dragonite in Pokémon Pokopia?

To get Dragonite in Pokopia, you need to create a waterside dinghy Pokopia habitat. This is an easy habitat to make; all you need is a canoe item and two duckweeds, which you can grow using a powered-up Leafen.

Put the canoe and the duckweed in water, and there you go. You do need to place them in a high-up location to get it to work. You need to build this habitat as part of the quest during the Sparkling Skylands mission, but you can build it anywhere if you want to move Dragonite around.
