Nothing so far, at least.

-No Mega Evolution.
-No Regional Variants.
-No exclusive Z-Move.
-No Gigantimax form.

Most other pseudo-Legendaries got at least one of those. You would think that the original Dragon Pokemon in the series--the Dragon used by Lance and other powerful trainers in various media--would have at least gotten a Mega Evolution.

Hell, the Dratini line has even been completely excluded from two games this gen (Sword/Shield until Crown Tundra, and now Legends Arceus).

Maybe I'm biased because Dratini's my favorite Pokemon, but why they gotta keep doing my boi dirty?

Almost everything in legends arceus is from gen 4 so it missing there isn't really a problem.

But dragonite is basically perfect anyway and doesn't need this stuff.

They buff him every few gens so he's still relevant in competitive

He got Multiscale a few gens ago

This gen gave him a reliable flying STAB and Heavy Duty Boots means he gets a free Dragon Dance boost every battle

That's because Dragonite is lame af.

Look at its evolutionary line.

Cool little dragon-snake.

Much larger cool dragon-snake.

Dragonite can go to hell. >:(

I think they should just give it an exclusive item to use. Something that only works on their line, and makes them stronger for holding it.

Fuck new forms of such a perfect beast, just give it a weapon and call it good.

Now that we're adding completely new shit to evolution post hoc I think it's time to revisit Dragonair and give it something new.

Like maybe a Dragon / Fairy 3rd evolution.

They wont do it because it will ruin regional pokedexes. If they bring Eevee in they have to add all of the other ones, and that would mean more models and animations

It's not really that big of a deal to just add one more if you're already adding Eevee.

Tauros' Attack was only 100, but due to STAB and its high speed (which, back then, crit rates worked off Speed), it actually had the strongest Hyper Beam in the game.

Probably because Dragonite is lame and what would they call it's mega stone? Dragoniteite? There are much cooler dragons.

When I replayed yellow a little while ago I caught and used a Tauros. It practically swept the Elite Four for me.

At least Dragonite is well-rounded enough to keep surviving in strong metas. Always gets good new moves added to its pool, and multiscale futurproofed it.
