Strategy Overview

Dratini, at first glance, seems average. With the introduction of Fairies, Dratini has taken a major blow, and when this is combined with its low bulk, things aren't much in its favor. Dratini's lower Speed tier also stops it from being very threatening without boosts. However, Dratini has access to two amazing moves: Dragon Dance and Extreme Speed. Extreme Speed's power boosted by Dragon Dance makes Dratini very threatening. Dratini also boasts a good STAB move in Outrage, which 2HKOes anything that doesn't resist it when Dratini is at +1. Because of these traits, Dratini remains a good Pokemon in the Little Cup metagame.
