I think this video speaks for itself

well i mean yeah

dragonite is awesome, i’m not saying it isn’t

i’m asking what’s practical

dragonite (or rather its original form dratini) can only be found by purchasing it in the celadon game corner or by fishing for it in the safari zone

which means i either have to painstakingly play the slots for a couple hours or try to catch it with the godfucking safari balls (and it only has a 15% appearance rate)

then you need to train said dratini up to level motherfucking 55 until it becomes a dragonite

all that while you can just get a free lapras in saffron city

so yeah
