Characteristics
Defense
Many Dragon Pokémon are pseudo-legendary or Legendary Pokémon. Partly because of this, Dragon Pokémon have the highest average HP and base stat total of all types.
Offense
In addition to HP, Dragon-type Pokémon have the highest average Special Attack of all types of Pokémon and fully-evolved Pokémon. Dragon is tied with Ghost for the type with the least resistance.
The Dragon type can only deal super-effective damage to itself.
When Misty Terrain is in the effect, the power of Dragon-type moves is decreased by 50% if the target is on the ground.
Contest properties
In Contests, Dragon-type moves are typically Cool moves, but some may be Beautiful or Tough. None of them are Cute or Clever moves.
Pokémon
As of Generation VIII, there are 75 Dragon-type Pokémon or 7.32% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Dragon-type in at least one of their forms, including Mega Evolutions and Alolans), making it the 4th or 5th rarest type, tying with Electric.

In the TCG
- Main article: Dragon (TCG)
Introduced in the Dragon Vault set, previously many Pokémon in this set were listed as Colorless-types. Dragon-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Dragon and Fairy with no resistances. Dragon-type Pokémon can be strong against other Dragon-types, and there are no types that resist them.
Trivia
- The Dragon type is the only type that hasn't been paired with the Bug type.
- Generation VIII introduced the most Dragon-type Pokémon of any generation, with 11; and Generation II introduced the fewest Dragon-type Pokémon, with only one, Kingdra.
- Generation VIII introduced the most Dragon-type moves of any generation, with eight, while Generation VI introduced the fewest, with zero.
- The Dragon type is the only type for which a move was not introduced in Generation VI. This is also the only instance of any generation not introducing a move for a type after that type's introduction.
- There are only twenty-six Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
- The Dragon type, tied with the Fire-type, also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only two.
- Dragon is the most common type for pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with only two pseudo-legendaries being non-Dragon.
- In Generation I, there was no way to do super-effective Dragon-type damage, since the then-only Dragon-type attack, Dragon Rage, always deals 40 HP of damage.
- Also, for the same reason, there was no way to get STAB from a Dragon-type move in Generation I.
- 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 standard damage formula in Generation I, making this a moot point.
- It has never been possible for any Pokémon to have either a double weakness or a double resistance to Dragon.
- Sinnoh is the only region without a notable Dragon-type specialist.
- In Generation III, all Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
- Dragon is the most common type to serve as version mascot, with seven Dragon-type Pokémon having served as mascots for eight games of the core series.
- Dragon-type moves have the most held items that boost their power: Draco Plate, Dragon Fang, Dragon Gem, all three timespace orbs, and the Soul Dew (as of Generation VII).
- The Dragon type resists all three of the traditional primary types of core series starter Pokémon: Grass, Fire, and Water. In addition, it resists Electric, which was the type of the player's starter in Pokémon Yellow.
- More Pokémon gain the Dragon type through Mega Evolution than any other type, with three.
- All Dragon-type moves are eligible to be used in Sky Battles.
- Dragon and Ghost are the only types that are weak to themselves.
