Isn’t it ironic that he came at an overpowered Dragonite with his underdog Charizard and then 20 years later he goes and gets himself a Dragonite that’s underdog to an overpowered Charizard?
Dragonite definitely was a subject of what I like to call "the Ash effect" where I'm mostly indifferent to a given Pokemon before Ash uses them and makes them look super cool. Dragonite was such a lovable beast that you couldn't help but want one of her hugs.
@@oldscoolgaming6700 Would have been funny if they spent more time together and an egg appeared one day. That could have given Goh a cute dratini shoulder companion and a connection with Ash + Iris. Missed opportunity for Momma Dragonite to shine.
Despite her losing streak between Ash vs Raihan and Ash vs Cynthia, Dragonite still remains as such a powerful and kindhearted Pokémon. She was very loving, kindhearted, and motherly, but also such a powerhouse and tank in battle!😊 I especially loved how she defeated Iris’ Ace and defeated Leon’s Dragapult.
Dragonite at first seemed to be strongest pokemon of Ash's journeys team because it defeated unova champion's ace. Other pokemon besides Dracovish still struggled against gym leaders. But now. Dragonite seems to be the weakest member
@@jetguy128 we were saying the same thing about gengar last year. It’s not that Dragonite is weaker it’s that there are bound to be more challenges when you’re fighting the literal top eight trainers in the world. Plus, sandstorm is a great way to chip at Dragonites usually unmatched endurance, and all of its power is useless if it’s asleep.
@@bige81892 Dragonite did not get weaker but other members got stronger. Here are my rankings of journey members based on power. 1. Pikachu 2. Lucario 3. Dracovish 4. Sirfetch'd 5. Gengar 6. Dragonite
Dragonite may not have the best win record among Ash's Pokémon, but she does give the best hugs. She's such a cute and cool sweetheart, and you just can't help but love her.
For years Dragonite has been one of my favorite Pokémon, and I’ve used a lot of them, always female because I always loved the idea of like this giant dragon being like the sweet protector and take on a motherly role for the team, so seeing what was essentially my Dragonite on Ash’s final team was something special and kept me watching the series!
It's such a shame that for some fans, they rather spit on this Tender loving dragon than admitting it was an awesome representative for Ash's Team. Its all about winning for some and forgetting that its Ok to lose. Her personality is really unforgettable!
To be fair, all Dragonite Meteor was just actually a tackle. Shooting the meteors forward instead of upwards was a nice concept, but what was the point of tackling within the attack (unless it tried doing something from within it, maybe; but this one had really no support). All Garchomp had to do was unsheathe sword-strike with Dragon Claw to slash through the Meteors & Dragonite
@@MarcusMapua not really dragapult could have done better on that situation from how versatile dragon tail can be but he didn't The reason might be because paul is strategic And leon relies more on brutal strength
One of the best surprise catches Ash ever had. I remember being shocked & happy when Ash caught Dragonite. I'm sure it's win rate is higher than 50 %. I'd say it beat Wallace's Swampert off screen. It would've been great if Ash had used it to battle against Lugia. I wish it could've met Ash's goodra. It's too bad that it never faced Raihan's Goodra. That would've been an interesting scene. It would've been great if Dragonite had the moveset: Draco Meteor, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Hyperbeam, Hurricane - new moves: Twister, Dual Wingbeat, Breaking Swipe & Ice Beam. Can you do Ash's Lucario next please?
She was just a sweetheart but she suffered the inverse of Gengar she was a powerhouse at the beginning but then at the tail end she fall off faster than Alain in the Masters 8 (at least she defeated Leon's Dragapult so there's that). But still i loved her so much she was that adorable. Now i can imagine if Ash would've caught a Dratini seasons earlier. Great vid Professor! Also are you going to do the updated version of Gengar and Lucario's histories?
I really loved Dragonite! Knowing how it wanted to Fly and even became sorta Ash’s “early bird” for Journeys, it would have been sick if it learned to make up its lack of speed by learning Extreme Speed after losing to Raihan’s Flygon.
There should have been a filler episode with a Salamence, the fighter Jet speed Pokemon, I'd love to see Dragonite use its durabke stats in an aerial dogfight.
To be fair, Raihan, Paul, and Cynthia are all heavy hitters, and Ash was heading towards the finals of the world tournament. So it was only natural that the challenges would be harder than before.
Dragonite is such a funny pokemon. Silly orange thing but always a threat. Always at least an OU niche in games and always a threat in the anime, you never saw it and thought it'd be easy.
This was by far the most unexpected catch from Ash for me. It rolled out a red carpet for more Pokemon we never expected to see in Ash team in the rest of the series.
Honestly Dragonite has a decent win/loss record, unfortunately the writers just didn't balance it well by putting most her wins at the beginning and losses at the end. They should have at least spread it out more imo
Great vid! Really wished Dragonite had more wins under her belt as well as Ash got further in the PWC. It would have been cool if she was the one to beat Leon's Rillaboom instead of Dragapult since Rillaboom seemed to be crazy strong and Dragapult was already fairly weaken.
Ash's Dragonite truly sparked my love for it, I know, no surprise there. But after playing the Nintendo switch games and Go, it fueled my flame. Plus I love how Ash's Dragonite is a huger, she's so adorable
Dragonite's rivals always had to have some strategy to defeat him, such as slowing down, putting her to sleep or hiding with the sandstorm... except Paul, I just need the brute force of his garchomp
I love that Dragonite carried Ash’s team until Gengar and Lucario had their shift into Ash’s aces, It made sense she started losing towards the end as she didn’t have to push as hard since her teammates were finally on par with her.
Ngl, when I first saw dragonaire evolved, I was thinking "Fck, now ash is getting the same Charizard treatment as before." But then turns out, she is a softie..
Imagine if ash had kept one of the two larvitars from the anime and evolved larvitar to Tyranitar? Imagine ash with his dragonite, snorlax,charizard & tyranitar all on one team!!!
This dragonite has my heart it’s such an ash Pokémon and it fits the theme of ash’s flying types just having this strong loyalty and strong battle prowess and will power
@@ProfessorAlexSilver And it is an interesting story, a Eevee that can’t or doesn’t want to evolve. Meets a girl who is not sure about her own path and becomes her partner. Along the journey they have fun, they have battled, and they just experience life together. During that time, they met up with other trainers with a eeveelution of their own. Chloe and eevee learned their stories, Chloe got inspired and wanted to learn more about the ideas of evolution, Eevee got to explore who she is, while getting to meet other eeveelutions who she looks up too.
I would agree dragonite would’ve benefited from a few more on screen wins/training sessions and maybe even spent some time with Ash’s original ace, Charizard, to help flesh out her hidden potential. Given how both gengar and Lucario were able to unlock some hidden abilities whilst Dragonite was kind of left out.
From Gen 1 i wondered why Ash never captured powerhouses like Dragonite and fully evolve his pokemons.. But after watching him catch Dragonite, i was satisified
Dragonite could've be the strongest in his team without mega evolution of lucario but it lost many times but yeah if she got more time to train with ash then it will definetly be going to be one of the ace pokemon of ash
It has some similarities to Bayleaf yes, but there are key differences. Bayleef’s affection is only reserved for Ash. Dragonite will show affection to anything that is alive, including a baby Pokemon still in its egg.
Would've been cool if Ash got the Safari Zone Dratini to turn into a Dragonite Could use against Blaine, Indigo League Water Field and maybe even use against Orange Island Champ Drake's Dragonite in a mirror battle Also how often would Ash use set-up moves besides Dragonite's Dragon Dance
It's Goodra 2.0... With some differences. A power battler and Ace early on, but struggled for a while and lost a bit. However, unlike Goodra, Dragonite actually won at the Big League tournament. Dragonite had a great personality... However, two things... I wish it was mentored under Charizard, and Ash caught it as a Dratini. Other than that, I have no major issues.
@@ProfessorAlexSilverI bet Paul would make a nice addition to the masters eight, what if he became a champion similar to Iris? I bet he’d beat her no problem, but he’d be much nicer about it.
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. Dragonite is a fantasy come true for me and I love everything about it, both battle and personality wise. I wish it had more character development. Besides, that brief moment where it connected with Iris.
@@ImyIsStillHere it was, but personally, I think the hug with Iris was even more adorable, especially the fact that Iris hugged her back. I think it’s safe to say that Iris rightfully thinks that Ash’s Dragonite is one of the most adorable dragon types she has ever met.
@@ImyIsStillHere me too! My favorite of ash’s journey catches. I just wish people would stop hating on it over a few loses when Gengar got off to a rough start too. Can’t say I blame you about Kalos. It was a great. I was initially bitter over Greninja leaving, but it’s return gave me closure.
Ash’s Dragonite I think was my personal favourite of Ash’s Journeys team. I love Lucario and Gengar, but I love Ash’s affectionate Dragonite 😊😇 I would’ve loved to have seen Ash’s Dragonite meet Lance though, partly cause Lance is a Dragon Tamer, but also cause of the history he has with Ash. I can just imagine Dragonite tackling Lance with a bear hug 😄
If I'm being honest about the whole Dragonite Meteor move, especially when used against Dragapult: All the improvised move was just simply Tackling; it just only tackled Dragapult down (I rewatched the scene & even slowed it down, and it showed that None of the Draco Meteors even made contact in hitting Dragapult!!!!!!! All it did was just tackle it into the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). - I still have to say though in my opinion that the best aerial Dragon vs Dragon battle was Noivern vs Salamence; a fight between these fast & powerful Winged Dragons between their awesome rival trainers
@@ProfessorAlexSilver If the Draco Meteor had actually made real physical contact in performing the move, that would've been better. And Honestly against Dragapult, it was really more of a win towards Dracovish as that's where most of the damage Dragapult came from; as none of Draognite's attacks actually showed to make any real damaging effect on the Dragon Ghost
I always remembered going home from school 4 years ago to watch the pkmn journeys episode on Thursday , now I'm one year off finishing secondary school, where did time go?
I was hoping do you think it's possible you could do a video about about the legendary birds through the the Pokemon franchise and one day is it possible you can make a video about each bird first do Moltres Articuno and then zapdos and talk about each Pokemon in different videos if you can
Just occured to me. Did Ash actually get the pokedex entries for dratini, (I guess dragonair as well) Pichu, and gastly due to de-evolution? Kinda feel like the pokedex should've said something about it lol
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
I didn't know ash's Dragonite was female. My favorite battle was with iris bring back the counter shield then turning the power from dragon pulse into draco meteor I love the way it looked
Wow thx you so much for making ash Dragonite history it the best! Also your doing a great job on this video keep up the good work!!😁🎉👍 And can i tell you something if that okay with you???
No problem dude!!😁💕🎊🎆 And a question so why did iris Dragonite did a scary glare at ash Dragonite when they meet in battle?? Did ash Dragonite made iris Dragonite mad or did iris Dragonite hate ash Dragonite for no reason???
This was in my opinion the Pokémon that was completely out of left field for Ash to have. And not just because it was GEN one this was the last Pokémon I thought anyone In Ash’s entourage would have ,let alone him.I think the reason why people don’t feel that way about Gengar is because at one point we thought Ash might have one, way way back in the day ,so it was like about time. I wish she had at least caught two more GEN 8 Pokémon though on top of the six Pokémon he already had

One thing I love about ash’s dragonite is it’s personality! Especially that it’s the opposite of iris’s dragonite.

@@ImyIsStillHere me too! My favorite of ash’s journey catches. I just wish people would stop hating on it over a few loses when Gengar got off to a rough start too. Can’t say I blame you about Kalos. It was a great. I was initially bitter over Greninja leaving, but it’s return gave me closure.
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
Ash’s Dragonite I think was my personal favourite of Ash’s Journeys team. I love Lucario and Gengar, but I love Ash’s affectionate Dragonite 😊😇
I would’ve loved to have seen Ash’s Dragonite meet Lance though, partly cause Lance is a Dragon Tamer, but also cause of the history he has with Ash. I can just imagine Dragonite tackling Lance with a bear hug 😄
I really like Dracovish XD
If I'm being honest about the whole Dragonite Meteor move, especially when used against Dragapult: All the improvised move was just simply Tackling; it just only tackled Dragapult down (I rewatched the scene & even slowed it down, and it showed that None of the Draco Meteors even made contact in hitting Dragapult!!!!!!! All it did was just tackle it into the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
- I still have to say though in my opinion that the best aerial Dragon vs Dragon battle was Noivern vs Salamence; a fight between these fast & powerful Winged Dragons between their awesome rival trainers
I would have rather been a seismic toss combo tbh, to reflect Charizard's legacy in full.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver If the Draco Meteor had actually made real physical contact in performing the move, that would've been better. And Honestly against Dragapult, it was really more of a win towards Dracovish as that's where most of the damage Dragapult came from; as none of Draognite's attacks actually showed to make any real damaging effect on the Dragon Ghost
I always remembered going home from school 4 years ago to watch the pkmn journeys episode on Thursday , now I'm one year off finishing secondary school, where did time go?
You're telling me, I started watching Pokemon in kindergarten and I turn 30 next month XD
I was hoping do you think it's possible you could do a video about about the legendary birds through the the Pokemon franchise and one day is it possible you can make a video about each bird first do Moltres Articuno and then zapdos and talk about each Pokemon in different videos if you can
All hopefully think of a video to cover them someday, it'd be a fun one
Do The Complete History of Delia and Ash's Mr. Mime, aka, Mimey please.
Working on it!
Love Mr Mime
@@ProfessorAlexSilver Mr Mime is awesome
cant wait for ash Noivern
Thanks! I'll put it in the queue
@@ProfessorAlexSilver i really enjoyed your video. Thank you for your hard work. 🙏🏽We appreciate it so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is what I was looking for
Hope you like it!
I loved that dragonite because it hugged Clemont, and it was my favourite moment in journeys.
That was funny haha
I still think about that legendary big dragonite. That was one of the best episode. Hence my love for dragonite
With how many times Ash's Dragonite tackles Ash, I'll bet he now knows how James feels with many of his Pokemon.
Now he just needs to know what it's like to feel poked by a cactus and poisoned ha
Broooo they stacked ash's team in this series I was SO happy they finally gave him multiple too.
I was thrilled when he won the tourney haha
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I was yelling like I was in the crowd 😭😭
Is it possible you can do a video about the legendary birds in the history of the legendary birds if you can
Most definitely on my mind. I want to tackle more legends
5:30 Lol at "mind-melding"
I'm a HUGE Star Trek fan. TNG is basically my dream for the future
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I love TNG too, but DS9 is better ;)
Just occured to me. Did Ash actually get the pokedex entries for dratini, (I guess dragonair as well) Pichu, and gastly due to de-evolution? Kinda feel like the pokedex should've said something about it lol
Dragonite is cool, it wasn’t until seeing how huggable and powerful dragonite was that I caught interest in the species
I liked it from the day I saw Drake use one :)
Ash’s pokemons not benefitting from type advantage is so iconic of him. 😂
I think Ash’s Dragonite’s and Iris’s Dragonite would make a cute couple.
100% in agreement haha
@@ProfessorAlexSilver 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
If I had a nickel for every time ash caught a pseudo legendary I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
funny how ash went from usely starter lv mons to a Dragonite + gengar as his first 2 catch in the season XD
Like always great video sir
Thank you :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver welcome sir
Professor Silver is awesome
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
Yup frr
I'll have to check out his series. Zac is awesome!
Nice video alex
I didn't know ash's Dragonite was female. My favorite battle was with iris bring back the counter shield then turning the power from dragon pulse into draco meteor I love the way it looked
And speaking of female Pokémon Ash owns, could you do his Bayleef next?
She's been on my list for ages. I have the script done, just haven't had the time to crank it out
@@ProfessorAlexSilver No worries. Can't wait to finally see it when you release Ash's "Bay".
Wow thx you so much for making ash Dragonite history it the best! Also your doing a great job on this video keep up the good work!!😁🎉👍 And can i tell you something if that okay with you???
Thank you Alicia, much appreciated!
No problem dude!!😁💕🎊🎆 And a question so why did iris Dragonite did a scary glare at ash Dragonite when they meet in battle?? Did ash Dragonite made iris Dragonite mad or did iris Dragonite hate ash Dragonite for no reason???
Dragonite has one thought and it's to hug.
Very true lol
This was in my opinion the Pokémon that was completely out of left field for Ash to have. And not just because it was GEN one this was the last Pokémon I thought anyone In Ash’s entourage would have ,let alone him.I think the reason why people don’t feel that way about Gengar is because at one point we thought Ash might have one, way way back in the day ,so it was like about time. I wish she had at least caught two more GEN 8 Pokémon though on top of the six Pokémon he already had
Dragonite has good personality.
That she does!
