Effect

Generations I to VII

Dragon Rage always inflicts exactly 40 HP damage if it hits. It has no secondary effects and does not take weaknesses or resistances into account; however, it does not ignore type immunity.

Dragon Rage can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra appeal point if either the move Dragon Breath or Dragon Dance was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing Dragon Breath, Dragon Claw and Dragon Dance to have their base appeal points doubled if used in the next turn.

Generation VIII

Dragon Rage cannot be selected in a battle.

Trivia

Dragon Rage is the only Dragon-type move in Generation I. However, it is not affected by type match-ups, so there are no moves that deal Dragon-type damage in Generation I.
In Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokémon Battle Revolution, Dragon Rage is disabled in the Little Cup due to low level Pokémon having low HP.
Growlithe, Arcanine, and Mew are the only non-draconic Pokémon to learn this move, and only in Generation I.
Excluding Z-Moves, Dragon Rage is the only Dragon-type move to not be usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
