Shiny Dragonair is Dragonair's shiny form: a different colour, and stronger, with 30% more health and move damage than a normal Dragonair. Shinies are the strongest Pokémon in the game.
How rare it is
Every Dragonair you defeat on a map has a 1 in 40,000 chance to drop Shiny Dragonair. A hunting chain on Dragonair makes it up to 4× likelier, and the Shiny Charm 1.5×.
Where to find it
Beat Dragonair on these maps (a shiny sometimes defends a map itself, stronger than its kind):
| Map | Region | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Elite Four Lance | Kanto | 46 |
| Blackthorn Gym (Clair) | Johto | 57 |
| Champion Lance | Johto | 44 |
Evolving it
A shiny evolves into the next form's shiny, which is rarer, so it also needs Glimmer Stones:
- Evolves from Shiny Dratini with 2 Glimmer Stones
- Evolves into Shiny Dragonite with 2 Glimmer Stones, on top of what Dragonair needs
Past level 100
A shiny never becomes a Nightmare form: at 5★ and level 100 it Ascends instead, keeping its shine and its name, and climbs the Nightmare ranks to level 999. See The Nightmare World.
