Dragonite

Dragonite is a Dragon/Flying-type pseudo-legendary that's been a heavy hitter since Generation II. It's the final evolution in the Dratini line and carries the weight of being one of the franchise's most recognizable dragon archetypes. The type combination and stat spread made it a mainstay in competitive play across multiple eras, which translates directly to TCG relevance. In the card market, Dragonite pulls from both casual collectors and serious speculators. Its appearances span multiple generations and print runs, creating a fragmented supply picture depending on era and rarity. The combination of competitive utility cards and illustrator-driven chase pulls keeps demand steady across different price tiers. It's the kind of species where vintage printings command respect, but modern printings maintain steady interest from deck builders.
