👨‍🏫About Professor Silver & Pokemon Explained

Each episode of Pokemon Explained profiles a different Pokemon from the main cast and breaks down its COMPLETE history on the anime, including all of its battles, appearances, character development & significant storylines.

We'll be covering all of Ash and his companion's Pokemon.

[GodzillaX]

Fitting for Ash to catch one, defeating a dragonite was one of his first serious challenges as a trianer

[castform]

Dragonite definitely was a subject of what I like to call "the Ash effect" where I'm mostly indifferent to a given Pokemon before Ash uses them and makes them look super cool. Dragonite was such a lovable beast that you couldn't help but want one of her hugs.

[prime]

The news of Ash catching a Dragonite was what got me back into watching the anime

[NOLJAK]

One thing I love about ash’s dragonite is it’s personality! Especially that it’s the opposite of iris’s dragonite.

[davidanthonymercado]

Despite her losing streak between Ash vs Raihan and Ash vs Cynthia, Dragonite still remains as such a powerful and kindhearted Pokémon. She was very loving, kindhearted, and motherly, but also such a powerhouse and tank in battle!😊 I especially loved how she defeated Iris’ Ace and defeated Leon’s Dragapult.

[Raph___A]

Dragonite may not have the best win record among Ash's Pokémon, but she does give the best hugs. She's such a cute and cool sweetheart, and you just can't help but love her.

[bencorsentino]

For years Dragonite has been one of my favorite Pokémon, and I’ve used a lot of them, always female because I always loved the idea of like this giant dragon being like the sweet protector and take on a motherly role for the team, so seeing what was essentially my Dragonite on Ash’s final team was something special and kept me watching the series!

[mimiquoi]

It was so cool for Ash to have a Dragonite !

I think nobody was able to predict this capture when this episode came out !

[SpammytheHedgehog]

I think that if Ash caught Dragonite when it was a Dratini, their bond would've been stronger.

[SpikeThePorcupine]

It's such a shame that for some fans, they rather spit on this Tender loving dragon than admitting it was an awesome representative for Ash's Team. Its all about winning for some and forgetting that its Ok to lose.

Her personality is really unforgettable!

[Monkeylad]

If you think about the way Ash's dragonite's moveset was situated, then the only move it could've known before knowing Ash was Hyper Beam

[GamingFanactic]

The best thing I love about Ash's Dragonite is how affectionate she was; like just a big hugger. She is an absolute sweetheart ❤❤😍🥰

[laxusstrauss]

The fact that paul was able to counter dragonite's strategy with ease
And leon didn't
already prouves how great of a trainer he is

[tamimzaman]

Ash having a dragonite was a dream come true ❤❤❤

[kevinbogdan]

One of the best surprise catches Ash ever had. I remember being shocked & happy when Ash caught Dragonite. I'm sure it's win rate is higher than 50 %. I'd say it beat Wallace's Swampert off screen. It would've been great if Ash had used it to battle against Lugia. I wish it could've met Ash's goodra. It's too bad that it never faced Raihan's Goodra. That would've been an interesting scene.
It would've been great if Dragonite had the moveset: Draco Meteor, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Hyperbeam, Hurricane - new moves: Twister, Dual Wingbeat, Breaking Swipe & Ice Beam. Can you do Ash's Lucario next please?

[usedpidemo]

I really loved Dragonite! Knowing how it wanted to Fly and even became sorta Ash’s “early bird” for Journeys, it would have been sick if it learned to make up its lack of speed by learning Extreme Speed after losing to Raihan’s Flygon.

[Mochi_Madness]

She's so sweet. Literally the exact opposite of Iris' terrifying Dragonite.

[LucosPlays]

She was just a sweetheart but she suffered the inverse of Gengar she was a powerhouse at the beginning but then at the tail end she fall off faster than Alain in the Masters 8 (at least she defeated Leon's Dragapult so there's that).
But still i loved her so much she was that adorable.
Now i can imagine if Ash would've caught a Dratini seasons earlier.
Great vid Professor! Also are you going to do the updated version of Gengar and Lucario's histories?

[seedon]

We wanted Ash to catch a Dragonite since the beginning of pokemon and I remember how pumped everyone online was he finally caught one.

[amarenixon]

It’s weird how dragonite was doing good before but after she battled Raihan Paul and Cynthia was sad but I am glad she got redemption against Leon
