Dratini at a glance
The official Pokémon Pokédex identifies Dratini as #0147, a Dragon-type Pokémon, and lists Shed Skin as its ability. Its entry displays Dragonair and Dragonite in its evolution line. The Pokédex describes Shed Skin this way: “The Pokémon may cure its own status conditions by shedding its skin.” See the official Dratini Pokédex entry.
