| ==Characteristics==
| |
| The Dragon-type is considered by many to be the best of all types overall. Because of the minimal amount of weaknesses that they have, they often find a way onto trainers' [[party|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 [[Stats#Attack|Attack]] and [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]], and paired with their incredibly diverse movepools, they are one of the best in the games.
| |
|
| |
| The Dragon-type is good offensively. Even though only Dragons themselves are Dragon-weak, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB. Dragon/Fire, a common attacking combination among Dragons, is resisted together only by {{p|Heatran}}. {{m|Dragon Dance}} is also a very common move for physical sweepers.
| |
|
| |
| Defensively, they have key resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire, enabling them to block certain Pokémon. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-[[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] Dragon-type except {{p|Kingdra}} has a double weakness to {{type2|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[types]].
| |
|
| |
| As of [[Generation IV]], all fully-evolved Dragon-types also have a secondary type.
| |
|
| |
| When used in contests, Dragon-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]] moves, but some may be [[Smart Contest|Smart]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.
| |
|
| |
| In total, there are nineteen Pokémon with the Dragon-type, one more than the {{type2|Ghost}}, thus making it the Pokémon type with the second fewest number of Pokémon.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; but because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do variable Dragon-type damage. There is speculation that this is the reason that {{p|Gyarados}} is not part Dragon-type.
| |
| * It has been speculated that if {{p|Eevee}} receives another evolution in a future game, it would be Dragon, being the only formerly all-special type left that Eevee has yet to evolve into.
| |
| * There are only eleven Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
| |
| ** Eight of those eleven moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in {{pkmn|Contests}}. The only three that aren't are new in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in Hoenn Contests, ''all'' damage dealing Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
| |
| ** The Dragon-type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
| |
| * Even though the Dragon-type has always been considered nearly legendary, no actual Dragon-type [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] were introduced until [[Generation III]]'s {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}.
| |
| * There is no fully-evolved Dragon-type that does not have a secondary type.
| |
| * The Dragon-type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
| |
| * The Dragon-type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the {{type2|Ghost}}.
| |
| * Even though dragons are known in real-life legends as fire-breathers, there is yet to be a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/Dragon or Dragon/Fire Pokémon, though most Dragon-types can use Fire-type moves.
| |
| * The Dragon-type has the dubious honor of being one of three types that will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{type2|Poison}} which is only super effective against {{type2|Grass}}s, and the {{type2|Normal}}, which isn't super effective against anything.
| |
| ** By the same manner, the Dragon-type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
| |
| * {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Sceptile}} are often considered to be Dragon-types due to their appearance, egg group, movepool and use by in-game trainers as dragons. However, they are not Dragon-types.
| |
| * The final evolutions of all pure Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendaries]].
| |
| * The Dragon-type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
