Dragonite Ore Locations
The best place to look for Dragonite Ore is in Monster Dens. There is often ore on the way to the nest, and a lot of the time you can find blue ore points right next to a sleeping monster. There's planty out in the Loloska area too, so bring a Monstie that can search for items and they'll be highlighted all over the map. The absolute best place to look is the Loloska Mine, which you'll visit on a story mission. There's ore absolutely everywhere here.
