Attacker

Strategy & play

How Dragonair plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Slam) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Needs Grass / Lightning Energy to attack — note its own type is Dragon, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
  • Dragon type, weak to Fairy ×2 — a Fairy attacker doing ≥40 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Dratini; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Dragonair

  • Exploit its Fairy weakness — ≥40 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Dragonair is real?

Dragonair is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
