◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ◆ Dragon Dance is a status move (raises your Dratini's attack and speed by 1 stage). ◆ Thunder Wave is a status move (paralyzes the target). ◆ Light Screen is a status move (for 5 turns, special damage to allies is halved).
