👨🏫About Professor Silver & Pokemon Explained
Each episode of Pokemon Explained profiles a different Pokemon from the main cast and breaks down its COMPLETE history on the anime, including all of its battles, appearances, character development & significant storylines.
We'll be covering all of Ash and his companion's Pokemon.
We're just starting out, so if you have any requests or feedback, I'm game to listen! Please leave feedback in the comment section or email me at Alex@ProfSilver.com.

Fitting for Ash to catch one, defeating a dragonite was one of his first serious challenges as a trianer
The day he beat Drake was EPIC
Isn’t it ironic that he came out 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?
@@ProfessorAlexSilver sucks he didn’t use it against Leon’s Charizard
I have an interesting idea how about the history of cilans pansage
@@ProfessorAlexSilvernext video topic: goodra Hawlucha and talonflame plzzzzz❤
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.
Ash + Worf = Dragonite XD
People probs shiny hunted Noctowl because Ash had one as his only shiny.
you were indifferent from dragonite? how is this possbile? they have always been fluffy good boys and girls. =O
No way, dragonite was hella strong in the gameboy games. The OGs always had a dragonite
One thing I love about ash’s dragonite is it’s personality! Especially that it’s the opposite of iris’s dragonite.
100% I wish we got to see the two interact more tho. I'd love a romance
Iris’ Dragonite is male and hardened. Ash’s Dragonite is female and has a heart of gold.
The news of Ash catching a Dragonite was what got me back into watching the anime
Definitely a big change of pace, his catch of Gengar was also quite surprising
Trended on Twitter too
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.
Two very impressive wins :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver all of its wins were impressive and its losses were against the top eight trainers of the whole world
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.
I wish she'd meet Muk for a hug-off. That would've been a great mentor lol
Between her and Bayleef, their ash's sweetest pokemon
What about Goodra’s hugs?
Wait Dragonite’s a girl! News to me!
It was so cool for Ash to have a Dragonite !
I think nobody was able to predict this capture when this episode came out !
100%. That and Gengar were mind bogglers lol
Didn’t Ash had a Dragonite a long time ago?
@@onlyadro5692no
@@onlyadro5692 he had to battle one and defeating it was one of his first major accomplishments as a trainer.
I think that if Ash caught Dragonite when it was a Dratini, their bond would've been stronger.
Perhaps! Definitely more episodes of focus
Dragonair
If you think about the way Ash's dragonite's moveset was situated, then the only move it could've known before knowing Ash was Hyper Beam
There might have been a few other moves that we never saw, but interesting point!
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!
Ash having a dragonite was a dream come true ❤❤❤
That it was!!
Too bad it happened 20 years too late. The Pokémon anime killed me. I never seen a main character lose so damn much and never learns.
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!
That it is!
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'm doing lucario very, very soon :)
The fact that paul was able to counter dragonite's strategy with ease
And leon didn't
already prouves how great of a trainer he is
Paul VS Ash in Masters 8 final would've been EPIC
@@ProfessorAlexSilver i wouldn't say final
But he definitly has his spot there
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
@@ProfessorAlexSilver It's honestly such a shame it never happened, but given what they did to Alain, thank god Paul wasn't a part of it.
@@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
The best thing I love about Ash's Dragonite is how affectionate she was; like just a big hugger. She is an absolute sweetheart ❤❤😍🥰

Our iconic Meowth ❤
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?
I'd love some of those moves. We need more variety in movesets
I’d like Ash’s Dragonite to have Dragon Dance, Outrage, Fire Punch and Dual Wingbeat
Dragonite: starts losing towards the end
Goodra: first time?
It’s weird how dragonite was doing good before but after she battled Raihan Paul and Cynthia was sad but I am glad she got redemption against Leon
She peaked way too early unfortunately. If the battle with Iris was Ash's last before the Masters 8. It would've been a great redemption arc
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.
@@jakandratchet9930 true
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.
Thanks for the amazing video Professor Alex. Always ❤ Dragonite as a Pokémon
My pleasure!
Really wanted to hear your thoughts on the entire masters 8 tournament arc
I might still do that :)
Love the videos Alex, the passion you bring to the pokemon community is inspiring
Thanks!!! I really, really like the series haah
She's so sweet. Literally the exact opposite of Iris' terrifying Dragonite.
Awesome video thanks Professor
My pleasure :)
The training with Lord Noivern and Queen Unfeasent really paid off Dragonite to get a hattrick of Losses
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
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.
Another great video thanks
My pleasure!
We wanted Ash to catch a Dragonite since the beginning of pokemon and I remember how pumped everyone online was he finally caught one.
It was decades in the making :)
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.
Dope vid professor
Thank you!
A huge powerhouse.Keep up the videos
Thanks, will do :)
My favorite Journeys capture ❤
One of Ash's top 5 ;)
Mine too!
This is what I was looking for
Hope you like it!
Ash’s dragonite is a big sweetie how she gives everybody and Pokémon hugs but she can be a real powerhouse
Nice video alex
I was really surprise that Ash catcher Dragonite.
Same here, huge changes came in Journeys
And to think it could have been bigger then a light house
Just needs some Dynamax energy XD
That was the GIANT dragon type
The cloud at the end of that episode was awesome
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.
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
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
Paul is the GOAT
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
I wanted to see Lucario and Dragonite double battle. Now that would be epic :)
It was awesome to see dragonite use countershield
100%,Counter Shield is the best
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!!!
Pokémon + MANSCAPED deals = perfect pairing 😅 thanks for the code!
May your shaver catch them all my friend
Scyther would approve
@@claymathewselevator8121 XD
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
Like always great video sir
Thank you :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver welcome sir
Professor Silver is awesome
Makes me wonder the kind of cuddle party Lance’s three dragonites must be like since the average Dragonite is suppose to be fairly cuddly.
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
That would've been sick! Much different saga tho haha
I love the thumbnail 🥰🥰
I wish I could get a hug from Ash’s Dragonite
She’s so cute!!!!!
Thanks! I was debating which one to choose lol. I made about 10 of them
Great video
You should totally do Chloe’s Eevee; her story is very interesting
That'd be a fun one, I love tackling Eevees
@@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.
Please do history of Ash’s Lycanroc👍👍
On my to do list!
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 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ash's Dragonite always reminded me of his Bayleef. The same loveable personality I guess 😄
I felt the same when seeing all the hugs
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.
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.
But nooooo... let's give that lout Goh more screentime instead and more fillers
It's my boi!
Do you plan on doing an updated analysis on Ash’s Gengar?
I LOVED Ash's dragonite and her personality, you should cover Ash's Talonflame and it's history next!
On my to-do list! I just did Lucario :)
I thought Dragonite's percentage would be higher 😭 still love her.
She's still great :)
Nice one
Thanks!
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???
A Solid 50% Win/Loss
Dragonair looks like a devolved form of Lapras. Lol
A bit :)
Nice!
Thanks!
When ash caught her, gengar, and riolu, I knew this would be his year
I’d like to imagine an offscreen battle with Dragonite battling a Baxcalibur and learning Outrage
That'd be a sick way for the writers to do a comeback. I would want haxorus to teach her the move though for added epicness
I love that Ash’s Dragonite is a hugger
If there's one thing we can all agree on is that Dragonite gives out the best hugs.
Agreed!
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.
Yup, both got EPIC battles halfway through the saga. I will say, though, Goodra's emotional arc was top notch
why is it illegal and bad for team rocket to catch a dragonite but ash can catch anything and same with goh, he just throws a ball at any pokemon and ash just cheers him along
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
I still remember when he first caught it
Same :)
I screamed with joy, so loud the day he caught it. It was one of my ultimate fantasies come true.
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.
I just wish she had another battle to star in after Iris'. She peaked way too early. Similar to Buizel
I like his Dragonite. When not battling she's just a big Teddy Bear. I wish she would meet Hagrid.
If ash haven't released his Goodra he and Dragonite could've been great pair since both loved hugging
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
funny how ash went from usely starter lv mons to a Dragonite + gengar as his first 2 catch in the season XD
Dragonite has good personality.
That she does!
I loved that dragonite because it hugged Clemont, and it was my favourite moment in journeys.
That was funny haha
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
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 😭😭
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
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 ;)
Aww, Dragonite is so sweet. Not to mention she looks cute as a Dragonair.
That she does!
@@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.
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
Dragonite has one thought and it's to hug.
Very true lol
You sholde do ash's torterra next pls
It's high on the to-do list :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver that makes me happy
I agree.
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
4:18 Ash should’ve used Snorlax if he wanted to win that eating contest.
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".
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
Nice
Ty!!!
I would love to see more of Dawn's pokemon!!!!
Working on em!
Ash's Second Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon owned
Manscape!!!
Im still waiting for that scorbunny continuation, you said you'd finish it.
Dragonite will always a powerhouse pseudo-legendary Pokémon. 💪 Love her.
It’s so cool
Incredible lesson! Say, will you ever do Ash’s Melmetal?
Definitely!
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
