Dragon (type): Difference between revisions

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.

===Additional effects===

When {{m|Misty Terrain}} is in effect, the power of Dragon-type moves is decreased by 50% if the target is [[grounded]].

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}}.

A Pokémon with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become a Dragon-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} if it uses a Dragon-type move. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become a Dragon-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Dragon-type move, is sent out against a Dragon-type opponent, is holding a [[Dragon Memory]], or is holding a [[Draco Plate]] or [[Dragonium Z]].

! colspan="3" style="background:#{{dragon color light}}; {{roundybottom|8px}}" |<small>All details are accurate to Generation IX games. For details that have changed between generations, please see an individual Ability's page.</small>

Currently, no Abilities are exclusive to Dragon-type Pokémon. This does not include [[Signature Ability|signature Abilities]].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* [[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 VIII]] introduced the most Dragon-type moves of any generation, with nine, while [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with none.

** 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* The Dragon type is the most common type for [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], with only two of them not being part-Dragon type ({{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}, although the latter has dragon-like characteristics and can learn Dragon-type moves). It is also the most common type among [[version mascot]]s, with nine Dragon-type Pokémon having served as mascots for ten games of the [[core series]].

* [[Sinnoh]] is the only region without a notable Dragon-type [[Type expert|specialist]].

* Dragon-type moves have the most [[held item]]s that boost their power: the [[Draco Plate]], [[Dragon Fang]], [[Dragon Gem]], all three [[Pokémon of Myth orbs]], and the [[Soul Dew]] (as of Generation VII).

* The Dragon type resists all three of the traditional primary types of core series [[first partner Pokémon]]: {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}}. In addition, it resists {{t|Electric}}, which was the type of the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]] ({{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}) in {{game|Yellow}}.

* More Pokémon gain the Dragon type through [[Mega Evolution]] than any other type, with three.

* The Dragon type and the idea of "dragons" are not 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 name=LanceMas>{{mas|Lance}}: "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!" ({{pkmn|Masters EX}})</ref> Some non-Dragon-type Pokémon which have been referred to as dragons include:

** {{p|Gyarados}}, by the [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]];<ref>[[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] entry for {{p|Gyarados}}: ''I suspect this Pokémon to be the true identity of a dragon written of in ancient texts, which claimed that it razed an entire village with white-hot beams from its maw.'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]])</ref> and by {{mas|Lance}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].<ref name=LanceMas/>

** There is also a {{egg3|Dragon}}, which contains other draconic Pokémon that are not Dragon-type.
