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 all Dragon types in the TCG. All Dragon-type Pokémon represented in the TCG so far have received Dragon-type cards from Dragons Exalted onward, except for Mega Ampharos, Mega Sceptile, and Tyrunt. 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 
and 
energies even though it was not Fire-type). After Generation VII, especially with the release of Ultra Prism, Dragon Pokémon cards with secondary types in the Core series (except Dragon/Flying and a few specific Pokémon) no longer used an energy cost type they were not associated to.
