No Special Z Move, No Mega, No Dynamax Form, yet Dragonite is out here thriving.

[EnbyNomad]

Dragonite has always been a statement to me. It doesnt get most of what the other psuedo legend dragon mons get, but that has never stopped it from competing.

[Picollo]

5:55 hiii thats me! Ironically i used Dragonite on the special side with Hurricane, Draco Meteor and Flamethrower @Habanberry as a somewhat reliable Anti-weather mon. At this timeframe, many rain dance teams where roaming around with Ludicolo (and Kingdra) as its main Attackers and i needed something which can One- shot Ludicolo/Kingdra. Flamethrower also helped against the rare Abomasnow and did nice damage against Metagross and Scizor.

Lets just say it worked quite nice atleast for that time.

I hadn't noticed how hard Gen 6 dogpiled on Dragonite. Pretty much every pseudolegendary bar Hydreigon (who hardly needed one) got a Mega. *Audino* Got a mega.

And then they added a type totally immune to him to top it off

[TsuchiGamer]

He's my favorite Pseudo bc of his duality: adorable and always powerful at least for a time in any generation

[nogai]

Everyone knows this but I will bring it up again the only reason dragonite didn’t get a mega was because the Pokémon company was not going tot add a “Dragoniteite” to the game

How to make an overshadowed Pokemon good: Turn it into a Non-Restricted E-Killer Arceus

I know the editing doesn't affect the quality of the ideas shared, but they make it very enjoyable to watch as a background to the video essay.

[dereksimmons]

My favorite Pokemon. I'm glad Extreme Speed gave D its flowers..I hadn't realized how fitting that was

[irvan]

16:26 Still proud of having this plushie

[michaelm]

Dragonite has been my favorite Pokémon since I first beat red version back in 2000 and seeing it in the first movie. I’m glad to see it getting some love.

[JJ-kcnx]

loving the long form content, especially considering how fun the editing is :)

[thefinalskarm]

A key thing not mentioned is that Multiscale and Extreme Speed were illegal together in generation 5 and 6, with it becoming possible in generation 7 due to becoming an egg move.

[KyletheCuber]

Dragonite is my favorite Pokémon, and seeing this video made my day honestly

[Reginald_Ritmo]

Pokemon team making HGSS: What if the Dragon's Den gave the player a Dratini with Extreme Speed? That would be a fun reward for the quiz!

Dragonite in SV: "I AM THE FASTEST! ME! ME!"

[Mr.Sax.]

This is a great video format, Ray. Very enjoyable. I hope you make more "History of Pokemon" videos.

Dragonite in the thumbnail: I finally found it, now who’s gonna stop me?!

[vyktorehon]

Overtime ive started to love dragonite alot

Great movepool, great abilities for both smogon and vgc, looks cool as hell, weirdly balanced defensive type

[Darkwater]

Another great video, I feel like this format should become a regular thing. On the topic of Dragonite, it was my favorite Pokemon as a kid, that sort of changed after I got back into Pokemon and discovered VGC, but now I am just glad that I can use it in a productive way. I remember when the first D-Nite Extreme Speed stuff came up and some people were not convinced at first, but it truely did stick around.

[ProfDragonite]

Been waiting for a video like this! I cannot tell you how happy I was when SV VGC gave mah boi it's time to shine!
