Dragon-type Pokémon:

Characteristics

The Dragon-type has been commonly thought of as a legendary or near-legendary type. Because of the minimal amount of weaknesses that they have, they often find a way onto trainers' teams. The downside to the supposed power that they have is that they are slightly harder to raise, with many of them not evolving from their first stage to their second until a level at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50. Most Dragon-type Pokémon have high Attack and Special Attack.

The Dragon-type is good offensively. Steel is the only type which is resistant to Dragon-type moves. Dragon Dance is also a very common move for physical sweepers.

Defensively, they don't have many resistances in battle, but they can hold off enough attacks to do some damage of their own. Many fully-evolved Dragon-types also have a double weakness to Template:Type2 moves, due to their secondary types; Kingdra, whose primary type of Water causes them to lose all weaknesses besides that to Dragon itself, is the only fully evolved Dragon not to have such a weakness. The only other Dragon-types without a double weakness to Ice-types are legendary Pokémon.

As of Generation IV, all fully-evolved Dragon-types also have a secondary type, except Arceus when holding the Draco Plate.
