The '''Dragon type''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンタイプ''' ''Dragon type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Lance]], the current {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Indigo Plateau]], [[Clair]] of [[Blackthorn City]], [[Drake]] of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]], [[Drayden]] of [[Opelucid City]], [[Iris]], the current Champion of the [[Unova]] Pokémon League, [[Drasna]] of the [[Kalos]] Elite Four, [[Zinnia]] of the [[Draconid people]], and [[Ryuki]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Dragon-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.
The '''Dragon type''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンタイプ''' ''Dragon type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Dragon-type [[move]]s are super effective against Dragon-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Dragon-type Pokémon are weak to Dragon-, {{t|Fairy}}-, and {{type|Ice}} moves.

==Characteristics==
===Additional effects===
===Defense===
When {{m|Misty Terrain}} is in effect, the power of Dragon-type moves is decreased by 50% if the target is [[grounded]].
Defensively, Dragon types have powerful resistances to {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Water}}; the types of the traditional [[starter Pokémon]] including {{p|Pikachu}}. However, they are weak to {{type|Ice}}, and indeed many fully-[[evolution|evolved]] Dragon-type Pokémon have secondary [[type]]s of either {{t|Flying}} or {{t|Ground}}, resulting in a double weakness to it, and combined with the high {{stat|Special Attack}} averages for Ice types this means they are generally taken down in one hit. They are also weak to themselves, although their high stat totals mean they can generally sustain more than one Dragon-type move before fainting. Their weakness to {{t|Fairy}} is checked by the scarcity of powerful Fairy-type moves, and as with Dragon they are generally able to take even a {{STAB}} Fairy-type attack without fainting.
 
===Offense===
The Dragon type is statistically the best type overall, as many of them are {{pkmn2|pseudo-legendary}} or [[Legendary Pokémon]] with above-600 base stat totals. Dragon-type Pokémon frequently have high {{stat|Attack}} ''and'' {{stat|Special Attack}}, as well as good {{stat|Speed}}. Although Dragon-type moves are only [[super effective]] against Dragon-type Pokémon, the type itself has only one resistance ({{t|Steel}}) and one immunity ({{t|Fairy}}), meaning Dragon types typically make use of strong neutral damage with [[same-type attack bonus]]. Dragon-type Pokémon also have famously wide [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move|special]] movepools, which combined with their high offensive stats does give them some options against Fairy types, Steel types, and {{t|Ice}} types.
 
Despite Dragon's numerous offensive advantages, however, Dragon-type moves are generally not well utilized by Pokémon that do not possess Dragon typing themselves. As addressed, Dragon-types rely on STAB neutral damage combined with their good offensive stats, but in the hands of a non-Dragon-type the moves lose STAB. This, combined with the fact that Dragon-type moves do neutral damage to nearly all types, means that the power of the moves is usually underwhelming.
 
Dragon-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest base stat total, HP, Attack, and Special Attack of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon. They also have the highest average Special Defense of all Pokémon.
 
When {{m|Misty Terrain}} is in the effect, the power of Dragon-type moves are decreased by 50% if the target is [[grounded|on the ground]].
 
===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Dragon-type moves are typically {{OBP|Cool|condition}} moves, but some may be {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} or {{OBP|Tough|condition}}. None of them are {{OBP|Cute|condition}} or {{OBP|Clever|condition}} moves.


==Pokémon==
==Pokémon==
As of Generation VII, there are 50 Dragon-type Pokémon or 6.2% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Dragon-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Regional variant|Alola Form]]s), making it the third rarest type, tying with {{t|Fairy}}, only behind {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Ghost}}.
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dragon-type Pokémon|pages}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Dragon-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Dragon-type (counting those that are Dragon-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Electric}} as the fourth rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Ghost}} and before {{t|Steel}}.

==Moves==
==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 31 Dragon-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.32% of all moves (excluding those that are Dragon-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Flying}} as the second rarest type among moves, with {{t|Rock}} as the rarest.
Prior to {{DL|Generation IV|Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV}}, all damaging Dragon-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the move.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon of any generation, with 10, and [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest Dragon-type Pokémon, with only {{p|Kingdra|one}}.
* [[Generation IX]] introduced the most Dragon-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with fourteen, while [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest Dragon-type Pokémon, with only one, {{p|Kingdra}}.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Dragon-type moves of any generation, with five, while [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with zero.
* [[Generation VIII]] introduced the most Dragon-type moves of any generation, with nine, while [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with none.
* In Generation I, there was no way to do super-effective Dragon-type damage, since the then-only Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, always deals 40 HP of damage.
** The Dragon type is the only [[type]] for which a move was not introduced in [[Generation VI]]. This is also the first instance of any generation not introducing a move for a type after that type's introduction.
** Also, for the same reasons, there was no way to get {{STAB}} from a Dragon-type move in Generation I.
* As of [[Generation VII]], Dragon-type Pokémon have the highest average {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and base stat total of all [[type]]s.
* The Dragon type is super effective against the least amount of types after {{t|Normal}}, only being super effective against itself. Because of this, no Pokémon can have a double weakness to Dragon-type moves except for those who are {{t|Fairy}}- and {{type|Steel}} in [[Inverse Battle]]s.
* In [[Generation VI]] onwards, the Dragon type is tied with the {{t|Ghost}} type for being the least resisted type, with both types being resisted by only one other type.
** However, as of [[Generation IX]], the Dragon type is the only type no Pokémon can have a double resistance to, since Pokémon who are {{type|Dark}} and have the [[Ability]] {{a|Purifying Salt}} can gain a double resistance to Ghost-type moves.
* The Dragon type and the idea of "dragons" aren't the same in the [[Pokémon world]], as some Pokémon which are not Dragon-type sometimes are referred to as dragons. This idea is further supported by [[Lance]]'s [[Pokémon Masters EX]] dialogue, stating that not all dragons are Dragon-type Pokémon.<ref>'''{{mas|Lance}} ({{pkmn|Masters EX}})''': "This outfit shows off Gyarados's power as a dragon! What's that, you say? Gyarados isn't a Dragon-type Pokémon? Haha, not all dragons are Dragon-type Pokémon!"</ref> Some non-Dragon-type Pokémon which have been referred to as dragons include:
** {{p|Charizard}}, in promotional materials and literature for the {{TCG|Dragon Majesty}} TCG expansion and in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.
** {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Seadra}}, by their {{pkmn|category}}. However, Seadra's evolution, {{p|Kingdra}}, is a Dragon-type.
** {{p|Aerodactyl}}, by a man in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].
** {{p|Gyarados}}, by the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]]; and by {{mas|Lance}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
** {{p|Lugia}}, by a man in [[Ecruteak City]].
** {{p|Iron Jugulis}} (implicitly, being a robotic version of {{p|Hydreigon}}).
** There is also a {{egg3|Dragon}}, which contains other draconic Pokémon that are not Dragon-type.
* This is the most common type for [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], with only two of them, {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Tyranitar}} (although the latter has dragon-like characteristics and can learn Dragon-type moves), not being part Dragon-type.
* In [[Generation I]], there was no way to deal super effective Dragon-type damage, since the only Dragon-type move available at the time, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, always deals 40 HP of damage. There was also no way to get {{STAB}} from a Dragon-type move in Generation I for the same reason.
* In Generation I, no type resisted or was immune to the Dragon type, making it the only type to have ever had this distinction. However, there were no Dragon-type moves that utilized the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Super Effective Dragon type|standard damage formula]] in Generation I, making this a moot point.

* There are only seventeen Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** The Dragon type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only {{m|Dragon Dance|one}}.
* In Generation I, no type resisted the Dragon type. However, there were no Dragon-type moves that utilized the [[Pokémon_Red_and_Green_beta#Super_Effective_Dragon_type|standard damage formula]] in Generation I, making this a moot point.

The Dragon type (Japanese: ドラゴンタイプ Dragon type) is one of the eighteen types. Dragon-type moves are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon, while Dragon-type Pokémon are weak to Dragon-, Fairy-, and Ice-type moves.

Battle properties

Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.

When Misty Terrain is in effect, the power of Dragon-type moves is decreased by 50% if the target is grounded.

Pokémon

As of Generation IX, 75 Pokémon or 7.32% of all Pokémon are Dragon-type (counting those that are Dragon-type in at least one of their forms, including Mega Evolutions and regional forms), causing it to tie with Electric as the fourth rarest type among Pokémon after Ghost and before Steel.

Moves

As of Generation IX, there are 31 Dragon-type moves, which makes up 3.32% of all moves (excluding those that are Dragon-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with Ground and Flying as the second rarest type among moves, with Rock as the rarest.
