The '''Dragon'''-type is one of the seventeen [[elemental types]].
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.


Some Notable Dragon trainers include [[Lance]] and [[Drake]] of the [[Elite Four]].

===Additional effects===
When {{m|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]], {{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==
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.

==Characteristics==
==Icons==
The '''Dragon type''' has been commonly thought of as a legendary type. Because of the minimal amount of weaknesses that they have, they are used in most battles. The downside to the supposed power that they have is that they are slightly harder to raise. Most Dragon type Pokémon have high Attack and Special Attack.

Defensively, they don't have many resistances in battle, but they can hold off enough attacks to do some damage of their own. Most fully-evolved dragons have a 4x weakness to Ice due to their second type; the exceptions are Latias, Latios, and Kingdra.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Dragon (TCG)}}
Introduced in the {{TCG|Dragon Vault}} set, previously many Pokémon in this set were listed as {{TCG|Colorless}}-types. Dragon-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Dragon (prior to the {{TCG|XY}} expansion) or {{TCG|Fairy}} (from XY to {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}) with no Resistances. Starting with the {{TCG|Evolving Skies}} expansion, all Dragon-type Pokémon in the TCG have no Weakness. Dragon-type Pokémon can be strong against other Dragon-types (prior to the XY expansion), and there are no types that resist them.

''Primary Dragon-type Pokémon''
==Trivia==
* [[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.
* 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.
* 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]].
* In [[Generation III]], all Dragon-type moves were {{OBP|Cool|condition}} moves.
* 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.
* All Dragon-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.
* Dragon and {{t|Ghost}} share some characteristics. They both:
** originally had three Pokémon in Generation I, then gained only one more in Generation II.
** are the only types that are weak to themselves.
** have one type immune to them and one type resistant to them.
* The Dragon type is the only type to have all of its Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation IX]] obtainable in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], excluding [[Mega Evolution]]s.
* 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|Charizard}}, in promotional materials and literature for the {{TCG|Dragon Majesty}} TCG expansion;<ref>{{TCG|Dragon Majesty}} promotional blurb: "The Pokémon TCG: Dragon Majesty expansion brings a mighty horde of draconic Pokémon: Reshiram-GX, Salamence-GX, Dragonite-GX, and over a dozen more, including Charizard!"</ref> and in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.
** {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Seadra}}, by their {{pkmn|category}}.<ref>{{g|category}}: ''Dragon Pokémon''</ref> However, Seadra's evolution, {{p|Kingdra}}, is a Dragon-type.
** {{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/>
** {{p|Aerodactyl}}, by a man in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].<ref>Old man: ''"Never did I think I would get to see the bones of a dragon!"'' ({{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}}, {{LGPE|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!}})</ref>
** {{p|Lugia}}, by a man in [[Ecruteak City]].<ref>NPC: ''"This happened when I was young. The sky suddenly turned black. A giant Flying-type Pokémon was blocking out the sun. I wonder what that Pokémon was? It was like a bird and like a dragon."'' ({{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}})</ref>
** {{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.
