The name Dratini is a combination of dragon, tiny and possibly mini, or teeny, which is an informal alteration of tiny, despite Dratini being born at over 6 feet in length. Even so, Dratini's Japanese name Miniryu contains the word mini meaning small, and ryū, Japanese for dragon. Its English name was originally going to be Dragoon.

Dratini were thought to be purely mythical creatures, but they were discovered to be real by a fisherman, or so the story is told.

In the Pokémon anime

Dratini first appeared in the episode "The Legend of Miniryu". This episode is set in the Safari Zone, and sees Ash and the Safari Warden protect a Dragonair and Dratini. This episode was banned outside of Japan (except Hong Kong and Taiwan) due to the Warden and Team Rocket threatening several characters with a shotgun. The only hint the rest of the world has to this missing episode is footage lasting less than a second in the Pokérap when Dratini is mentioned. A pump-action, a Remington 870, two semi-automatic action Remington 1100 shotguns, 20 boxes of shotgun shells, a clay trap, and three boxes of clay pigeons. ...

References to this episode have been made in the dubs of other episodes, such as Team Rocket's reason for wanting to steal Duplica's Ditto (Quote James' famous line, To transform it into the Pokémon we've never been able to capture, Dratini!).

Later, Blackthorn Gym Leader Clair has a Dratini, which later evolves into Dragonair, in a battle with Team Rocket.
