Hiya Pojo (Please post this), this is my view contrasting the old Dratini to the T.R.Dratini.
 
First off, let's look at the stats.
 
Old Dratini                                                   T.R.Dratini
                                                                               
HP: 40                                                        HP: 40
(C) Pound (10)                                             (CC) Wrap (10+ 50% Paralysis chance)
No weakness                                              No weakness
Resistant to Psycic                                     Resistant to Psycic
 
They're basically the same except for the dispute of Wrap vs Pound.  They have the same damage but wrap costs more, but if you can pull off the paralysis you can stall for a turn or two until you get a Dragonair or a better card.  Both are great against Hypno and Gengar.  So it's a tie, paralysis can come in handy, but that's two turns for the energy to fill whilst pound is only one.  Too bad they can't make a Dratini with both.
