The Dragon type contains most {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Haxorus}} are Dragon types in the TCG. Prior to {{TCG|Dragons Exalted}} (but {{TCG|Dragon Selection}} in Japan), the Dragon type was represented by the {{TCG|Colorless}} type.

Unlike all other types, other than Colorless, there is no Dragon type {{DL|Energy card (TCG)|Basic Energy}} card, and no Pokémon can use a Dragon type energy in its {{TCG|Attack}}. Dragon-type cards were absent from {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} until {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, when they were reworked to have no Weakness or Resistance. ''Sword & Shield''-era Dragon-type Pokémon cards feature claw marks in the upper-right corner and the Dragon-type symbol in the center of the card (the latter only for non-{{TCG|Pokémon V}} and non-{{TCG|Full Art card}}s). As of the beginning of the ''Scarlet & Violet'' era, the Dragon type has been retired once again; dual-typed Dragon-type Pokémon such as {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} are now always categorized based on their other type, making the future of the Dragon type unclear.

Dragon Pokémon cards are mostly associated with two non-Colorless types of energy costs in their attacks (for example, {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Zekrom|64}}'s attack costs used {{e|Lightning}} and {{e|Fire}} even though it was not {{type|Fire}}). Between {{TCG|Ultra Prism}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, most Dragon Pokémon cards with secondary types in the [[core series]] used an energy cost type that corresponds to their secondary type.
