The '''Dragon type''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンタイプ''' ''Dragon type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon are [[Lance]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Elite Four]],  [[Clair]] of [[Blackthorn City]], {{EF|Drake}} of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Iris]] and [[Drayden]] of [[Opelucid City]], and [[Drasna]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Prior to [[Generation_IV#Advances_in_gameplay|changes in Generation IV]] all Dragon-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

The Dragon type is statistically the best type overall. Many of them do not evolve from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50; {{p|Zweilous}} evolves into {{p|Hydreigon}} at level 64, the latest of any Pokémon.

Most Dragon-type Pokémon have high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} and are further blessed with wide movepools to complement this. Even though Dragon-type moves are only [[Damage modification#super effective|super effective]] against Dragon-type Pokémon, the only type that resists Dragon is {{t|Steel}}, giving them good use of their [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]]. Furthermore, the combination of Dragon and {{t|Fire}} has {{p|Heatran|almost}} unresisted coverage.
