Dragonite is an incredibly powerful Dragon-type Pokemon in Pokemon Go. This guide will help players locate and capture this Pokemon. Pokemon Go continues to thrive even though a global pandemic has effected the entire premise of the game. Players opted to stay indoors for their own and other's safety. It's hard to play a game that requires players to go outside while stuck indoors. Although Niantic, the developer behind Pokemon Go introduced small changes to make the game more home-friendly such as extended times using Incense items, shorter distance to interact with gyms and PokeStops, and new items that allow players to jump into raids from home. Dragonite is a strong Pokemon that would be excellent for any trainer aiming to take down some raids. Here's how players can capture their very own.

When Pokemon Go first released, Dragonite was one of the most sought out Pokemon from trainers. Back then, only the first 151 Pokemon were available in the game, meaning that Dragonite was the only Dragon-type Pokemon to encounter. Not only that, but this was the era before raid battles, make it extremely difficult to randomly come across a Dragonite or any of its evolutionary line. If a trainer got one, they were super lucky. Now, capturing one is much easier. This guide will help players locate and capture their own Dragonite.

The best way to get a Dragonite in Pokemon Go is by participating in the Jump-Start Special Research Quest. The first objective requires the player to add 1 new friend, catch 3 Pokemon with Weather Boost, and Hatch an Egg. Once this is done, the player will be rewarded with a Dratini encounter. To get more candy, continue participating in this questline. It only needs 25 candies to evolve into Dragonair.

Make Dratini your buddy and walk around with it until enough candy appears. Before evolving it, make sure to take a snapshot with Dratini, this will add an additional 30 candy from the questline. Earning a candy will also add another 30 candy. Continue through this questline and the player will easily have enough candy to evolve Dratini into Dragonite.

Dragonite has been a fan-favorite Pokemon since the very beginning. The Dragon-type was extremely broken in the original games, taking down almost every other Pokemon without any problem. Now Fairy-type Pokemon exist to bring a much needed nerf to Dragons. Pokemon Go continues to introduced new generations of Pokemon each year.
