Get quick to cheer on your best-loved draconic character as we count down the17 Most potent Dragon - Type Pokémon .

16. SALAMENCE

At the very least , you have to say that Salamence has a powerful brain . In its original Bagon form , and by and by as Shelgon , it had such a powerful desire to arise wings that it basically bequeath them onto itself by the time it evolved into Salamence . But it ’s not just powerful in mind . Let ’s just say that you wo n’t care Salamence when it ’s tempestuous . It ’ll go allHulkon you in a manic tantrum of mindless , destructive rage .

While it has a eclipse ability to snipe , Salamence also has some pretty glary weaknesses , specially when it comes to any kind of ice attack . With his four - times weakness to ice , it ’s beneficial to apply him as part of a squad that can keep him in assay and help defend him from his weaknesses . Nevertheless , Salamence can be passing furious , especially when upgraded to the broad - wing Mega Salamence with its brawny Aerilate move , which give its Normal - type moves a 30 % top executive boost .

15. FLYGON

Flygon likes to hang out in the desert . Its soubriquet materialise to be “ the elementary feel of the desert , ” which is kind of a mouthful as far as nicknames go , but it is what it is . A marvellous , slim Pokémon , at 6’7 ” in length and 180.8 pounds , its wing are a immense part of its individuality – they make music when they flap and they put forward up a sandstorm while it flies , which help hide it   from foeman .

study one of the most powerful of the Underused Pokémon , certainly among Dragon - types , Flygon ’s powerful attributes admit its speeding and power to break away in and make a quick , enfeeble attack , then retreating so another Pokémon can end the chore . Along with Psychic / flight - type Xatu , Flygon is one of the two Mystic Pokémon . And , side note , it could have become even more powerful : creative person Ken Sugimori was to begin with going to give it a Mega Evolution , but got artist ’s block .

14. GARCHOMP

Garchomp   is   a nasty looking sort ; not the Pokemon you ’d want to meet up with in a dark alley . It ’s like a hybrid between a hammerhead shark , with deadly sharp tooth , and a flying dragon covered in spikes . And   when it Mega Evolves , shoot even more spikes with wing that look like scythe blade ? Forget about it .

Garchomp is n’t just fast– in Ash ’s Pokedex he has a Garchomp that can pilot at the speed of audio . It can even resemble a woodworking plane when it ’s fly . While as Mega Garchomp , it ’s not most as fast , it gains even more attack power , make it passably devastating . Among non - legendary Dragon - types , they do n’t get much more powerful . In the anime , Cynthia ’s Garchomp used its incredibly herculean Dragon Rush move to easily vote out Weavile , who as an Ice - type should have had a good opportunity . In that scene , Garchomp took out three of Paul ’s Pokémon with one move each , before Paul used the massive Torterra . It looked like Garchomp had finally met its lucifer against the behemoth , but it blocked a nasty move with its wings then pulled out a annihilating Brick Break to take it down , leaving onlooker in awe .

13. HAXORUS

While Mega Garchomp has those wings that search like scythe blades , Haxorus has a alike scythe - like contour , only on its chief . Haxorus is a uncommon Dragon - type who does n’t even have wing . The scythe - like things on his head , which give it   the nickname “ Axe Jaw Pokémon , ”   are in reality considered tusks and they ’re a big part of what make it powerful – after all , they can tailor through steel and are said to be unbreakable .

While a well-disposed Pokémon in general , Haxorus is incredibly strong both in terms of attack power ( it ’s got a massive 147 base Attack stat ) and build , with a body similar to a Tyrannosaurus male monarch and substantial armor cover its body . Haxorus is always at its best when defending its territory . But despite its strength and undeniably coolheaded looks , it ’s a surprisingly underused Pokémon , particularly in the anime , with a total stem stat lower than a mountain of the other Dragon - type on this lean .

12. DRAGONITE

verbalize of Dragon - types with base stats higher than Haxorus , here ’s Dragonite with its even 600 . Dragonite does n’t count almost as scarey as the other Pokémon on this list so far , with its adorably huge , Disney - esque eyes , comparatively small wing , and playfully pudgy body . It ’s downright cute . But do n’t judge a book by its screening . Dragonite has skills . Despite those tiny wings , like Garchomp it can pilot quicker than the speed of audio , and is able to compass the ball in a bare 16 hours . It ’s nice , friendly , and smart , but threaten its territory and it will go off on you .

Rare in the wild , Dragonite is tell to last in the sea and has even been known to avail shipwrecked crews to guard . It is actually the 2d most powerful Pokémon inPokémon Go(behind only the predominant Mewtwo ) , with a maximal Combat Points ( CP ) of 3500.06 thanks to attacks like Draco Meteor and Hyper Beam .

11. GOODRA

Goodra has   a few thing in common with Dragonite . First of all , there ’s that healthy 600 entire base stat . secondly , Goodra is cute , but pestilent . It has those enceinte , lovely Disney - esque eyes and flowing , curl feeler and keister . But what makes it a small less endearing is the fact that its name is as much about being “ good ” as it is about being made of “ goop , ” which fret off on its trainers when they embrace it . Ew .

Those antennae can work on as a not - so - secret artillery , extending to three time its top ( which would amount to over 19 feet ) , and can be used to grab onto thing . As with Dragonite , do n’t let its look betray you into think it ’s weakly . Goodra ’s punch can experience as though you ’ve been pounded by 100 professional boxer at the same sentence . Plus , it has retractable horns than can be used to attack . But , overall , Goodra is not as well - know for attacking as it is for defending , which it does with the best of them . Its special defense stat is matched among Dragon - types only by Mega Latias .

10. & 9. LATIOS AND LATIAS

Did we just mention Mega Latias ’ great power to oppose ? What a peachy segue into Dragon - type pseudo - siblings Latios and Latias ( referred to by fans as the Eon span or Lati Twin ) . We ’re grouping them together at 10 and 9   because they more or less come in pairs , with Latios as the male variant and Latias as the female version , and both have a 600 total base stat . They were actually the first legendary Pokémon to be assign genders .

Super tight , some of Latias ’ force come from her high intelligence , able-bodied to read world and use telepathy to communicate . She can even turn invisible . Latios is also able-bodied to understand man and use telepathy , while able to pilot quicker than a jet-propelled plane . Though he ’s a minute of a pacificist , he wo n’t back down and is the only Pokémon able-bodied to take out out the Luster Purge move , which can severely damage his opponent ’s Special Defense .

8. RESHIRAM

The Legendary Pokémon Reshiram is almost intimidatingly supernal in visual aspect , all whitened with angular , ice - blue eyes , and a wide wingspan , while standing an fear - inspiring 10’06 ” and count in at 727.5 Cypriot pound . That ’s enough to make you wet your trouser and run for the hills . Not that running game would help , because it has a sort of spirt railway locomotive in its tail , so lease ’s just say you ’re not going to outrun it .

And that tail– the flame that burst from it can also pretty much destroy anything in its path . It can even be used to alter the weather , and caption has it that those flames are so hefty they can destroy the world , so it ’s a good matter Reshiram is loosely honorable natured . The “ Vast White Pokémon ” has very gamy Attack , Special Attack , and Special Defense stats , making it a unfeigned personnel to be reckoned with . But then there ’s his vis-a-vis Zekrom …

7. ZEKROM

While Zekrom , at 9’6 ” , 760.6 pounds , is shorter but heavier than its counterpart Reshiram , it ’s no less daunting . in reality , Zekrom is arguably even more daunting , thanks to its alike form , but all - black appearance . It is also less organic - look and more robotic . Its unholy red centre do n’t help , either . So if you merely wet your knickers looking up at Reshiram , more unpleasantries could be in store with a real - spirit glance at this behemoth .

While Reshiram has that cauldron of fire in its rear , Zekrom has a similar extremity , but it generates electricity . This can help him with aeromechanics in flight and , like Reshiram ’s , can change the weather condition , often generating thunderstorms . One index singular to Zekrom is the Bolt Strike attack , which can paralyse its resister . Another somewhat unique king it has is telepathy , which it share with Reshiram . Along with being a Dragon - eccentric , Zekrom is also an Electric - eccentric and lead those in Attack , Defense , and total stats .
