The Dragon type (Japanese: ドラゴン Dragon) is one of the eleven TCG types. It is represented by the color gold and symbolized by a serpentine figure.

The Dragon type contains most Dragon-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Salamence, Rayquaza, and Haxorus are Dragon types in the TCG. Prior to this, all Dragon types were generally Colorless types.

Unlike all other types, there is no Dragon type Basic Energy card, and no Pokémon can use a Dragon type energy in its Attack.

Dragon Pokémon cards were associated with two non-Colorless types of energy costs in their attacks (for example, Zekrom's attack costs used Lightning and Fire even though it was not Fire-type). After Generation VII, especially with the release of Ultra Prism, most Dragon Pokémon cards with secondary types in the Core series do not use an energy cost type that does not correspond to their secondary type.
