No its nto shiny i gave up after about 25 tires, but i love dragonite. Peice of advice for buying your Dratini earlie in the game:
Beat the 5 emebers on the Nugget Bridge. Go to Pokecenter and deposit all pookemon and withdraw a really weak one. Loose o the rocket member at the end of the bridge over and over again and you get a nugget each time. Loose 20 times and you have $100,000, then Buy the 500 coins 8 times and then the 50 coins 2 times and then go buy the dratini. Keep losing to the rocket if you want more money than that. Now that you have the dratini early in the game because you have the money to buy it use it in battel a lot, if you wiat untill you have beaten most trainers (especially the ones on victory road) its REALLY hard to raise it, thats what I did at least.
