Dratini in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Dratini is a dragon-type Pokemon that was introduced in the OG world of Pokemon during Generation one. This beautiful creature has three evolutions, it’s first form being Dratini, secondly Dragonair, and lastly Dragonite. Reason for Dratini becoming popular? It’s beauty and for being incredibly powerful once it’s fully evolved. We’ve seen Dragonite being used by champions plenty of times. If you want to obtain Dratini to add to your team you’re going to need to do a little bit of work beforehand. First things first, we’re going to want to train our mobile companion so he can swim in water because Dratini is swimming.

Once you have unlocked the swimming ability it’s time to head for Casseroya Lake, North Province (Area One), North Provience (Area Two), South Province (Area Six).
