My jaw absolutely dropped the day I saw Ash’s throw a pokeball at his Dragonite. I always saw Dragonite as a super Pokémon that only the best of the best can obtain, and that Ash would always be the one battling rather then owning. To me Dragonite’s capture signified that his alola legue victory would not fade away and that the writers now considered him a trainer worthy of the standing among the best of the best. I don’t think she deserves hate for the losses she suffered as she started off undefeated, and I knew all along that wouldn’t last. Plus her losses were against literally the best of the best and partly due to the writers decision to let her take the fall to give more glory to Lucario, and growth to Gengar who also suffered three consecutive losses, but turned it around. Dragonite also redeemed herself in the end, and simultaneously escaped Lucario shadow when it defeated the Pokémon that beat Lucario.

The cloud at the end of that episode was awesome

Dragonite has one thought and it's to hug.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Very true lol

[@KoolBeanz101]

Unpopular opinion (maybe): even though dragonite was nice, I think ash should of had corviknight instead of dragonite (and all of his other pokemon should of been galar mons). Galar got kinda shafted and barely got any representation in the series, so it would be nice to change that and give galar the proper anime apperance it deserved and even show characters from the games like hop, bede, marnie (instead of one episode), the gym leaders, mustard and peony . Lumious trainer zac is doing a series like that on his channel and I think it's really nice

[@laxusstrauss5945]

Yup frr

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

I'll have to check out his series. Zac is awesome!

[@MegaZeditz]

My Dragonite if I was a trainer would be really good friends with ash's Dragonite! I always loved Ash's Dragonite I would love to be hugged by her lol

[@UltraAfroman]

Dragonite will always a powerhouse pseudo-legendary Pokémon. 💪 Love her.
