PvP rankings (GO Battle League)
| League | Tier | Rank | Score | Recommended moves | Typical build |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great League | A | #75 / 1146 | 88 | Dragon Breath · Aqua Tail · Dragon Pulse Dragonair is a fast-paced, aggressive pick. Despite its offensive strengths, it falls short of rival Dragons like Altaria, Guzzlord, and Kingdra in terms of bulk and resistances. Because of this, it hasn't seen widespread play in a while, but watch for it in Dragon-centered metas. The Shadow is almost always preferred. | L33 · 4/15/14 |
