Strategy Overview
Dragonair has a small niche in the tier as it fits onto Wrap teams thanks to its unique typing and access to Thunder Wave and Wrap; it forces paralysis onto fast foes such as Starmie and Alakazam thanks to these traits—which allows it to chip down and force out slower paralysis absorbers such as Chansey—while shielding its stronger teammates such as Dragonite and Victreebel from paralysis. Dragonair's unique mono-Dragon typing gives it useful resistances to Water- and Electric-type attacks. However, Dragonair's base stats are atrocious; it barely threatens anything offensively and is 2HKOed or 3HKOed by most neutral hits. Its weakness to Ice-type attacks also exacerbates Wrap teams' weaknesses to Ice-type attacks even further. Dragonair is also extremely hard to fit on teams; even dedicated Wrap teams usually only include Dragonite and Victreebel, as these teams are more reliable than teams with three or four Wrap users, which are the teams Dragonair fits on.
