Dragon type

The is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
The Dragon-type is often considered an ancestral type as many Legendary Dragon-type Pokémon are revered as deities. Other Dragon-type Pokémon are frequently hard to catch and train. They also evolve late and are relatively rare. An interesting fact is that the stats of many Dragon-type Pokémon surpass the stats of other types of Pokémon.
Most Pokémon with the Dragon-type are usually reptilian in appearance, with a few exceptions being Charizard (who is Fire/Flying by default, but can become part Dragon-type if exposed to a Charizardite X Mega Stone). Other Dragon-type Pokémon lack draconic traits, such as Vibrava (who closely resembles an insect more than a dragon), Dragalge (whose overall design is based on the leafy seadragon, a type of fish), Alolan Exeggutor (with traits more close to a plant, more specifically a palm tree).
Notable Dragon-type users include Lance, the last member of the Kanto Elite Four and then Johto League champion; Clair, the Blackthorn City Gym Leader; Drake, the last member of the Hoenn Elite Four; Iris, the Gym Leader of Opelucid City and then Unova League champion; Drayden, the Opelucid City Gym Leader; Drasna, a member of the Kalos Elite Four; Ryuki, the Pokémon Trainer who runs the Kantonian Gym in Alola; Raihan, the last Gym Leader in Galar; Hassel, a member of the Paldea Elite Four; and Drayton, a member of BB League Elite Four.

==Relations with other types==
*They have no effect against the type because in certain mythologies, fairies' magic could dominate oriental dragons. While dragons were often immune to magic in European legends, it is a common theme in fairy tales that knights slay the dragon and for dragons to be weak to magic.
* They're weak against themselves because only a dragon could overpower another dragon. It could also be that being a magical creature, they can only be defeated by another magical creature, hence the Dragon and Fairy weaknesses.
*They're weak against the type because dragons are reptilian creatures and reptiles are cold blooded (ectothermic), which causes them to become slow and lethargic when faced with cold temperatures, and is also probably a reference to the Dragon Quest video game series, where dragons are weak to ice.
* The type resists them because in legends, knights used armor of that material to defend themselves when facing a dragon. Strangely, they're not weak to the type.
*They're resistant to the , , and types because in old legends, dragons were immune to the forces of nature. This also fits with the Generation I starters with each type representing Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pikachu.
==Trivia ==

*Of the 10 Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon that exist, 8 of them are part -type.
*Kingdra was the only -type introduced in (not including Ampharos getting the type in an alternate form 14 years later in ).
* In Generation I, it is impossible to get super-effective damage from a -type move since the only -type move in Generation I was Dragon Rage, which did a fixed 40 damage.
*No Pokémon can have a double weakness to (since the type is only super-effective on itself). 
**Mega Altaria is the only -type Pokémon that is immune to -type moves.
*-type has the most power-increasing items for it with 7. They are Draco Plate, Dragon Fang, Dragon Gem, Soul Dew, Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb and Griseous Orb.
* has the fewest non-damaging moves out of any type, with only 2: one of which is Kommo-o's signature move, Clangorous Soul. and the other is Dragon Dance.
* So far the only shiny locked Pokémon are Koraidon, Miraidon and Walking Wake.
*So far, not including Silvally the type has one of the most Legendary Pokémon with 15 as of Scarlet and Violet only behind which has 16.
*Before Generation VI, type had dominated the pvp, thus were considered as the strongest type and eventually weakened after type released.
*Sinnoh is the only region that did not introduce a Dragon Type Specialist. 
** Kanto introduced Lance
**Johto had Lance return as champion, and Clair now has appears and makes her debut as the eight gym leader
** Hoenn had Drake as the final Elite Four Member (you could call him The Elite Fourth Member!)
**Unova had both Drayden and Iris as the eighth gym leader being version exclusive. However, in Black 2 and White 2, Drayden is the seventh gym leader and Iris has become the champion.
**Kalos had Drasna as an Elite Four Member.

*The type and the idea of "dragons" aren't the same in the Pokémon world, as some Pokémon which are not type sometimes are called "dragons" or used by dragon masters. These Pokémon are Horsea and Seadra (by their classification), Aerodactyl (by a man in Pewter Museum), Gyarados and Charizard (by Lance, especially in Pokémon Masters), Lugia (by a man in Ecruteak City), Lapras, Aggron and Archeops (by Iris), and Iron Jugulis (implicitly, being a robotic version of Hydreigon). There is also a Dragon Egg Group which contains some other draconic Pokémon.
* is the most common type for pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with only two pseudo-legendary Pokémon not being part type.
*Galar has introduced the most Pokémon with eleven with Regidrago being added through the Crown Tundra DLC, formally beating Unova's ten types.
*Out of the three gimmicks since Pokémon X and Y two of the Pokémon responsible creating them are Type this being Ultra Necrozma with Z-Moves and Eternatus with Dynamax and Gigantamax.
