Top Ten Non-legendary Dragon Pokemon
Garchomp is a complete beast. That's all you really need to say about this Jet Dragon. He is my 4th favourite pokemon of all time, and my favourite dragon type by far. His design and stats are amazing and reel most people/fish onto the hook. Garchomp is fantastic in competitive battling and helped me clean sweep most of the games I had it in. While I love some of the other dragon types on this list, such as Tyrantrum and Haxorus, I just don't think any of them can compete with Gachomp (Maybe Tyrantrum). Garchomp can learn a large variety of moves such as Earthquake, Dragon Rush and so much more, with great typing. I could go on and on about how good this Destroyer is, but I think I'll just keep it there for now.
Garchomp is honestly the best Pokemon I've ever used. Raised one in platinum from a Gabite to a now level 70 Garchomp. It has amazing speed so I can always count on it attacking first in most situations, has excellent stats, and an amazing move set. It also is one of the most bad ass looking Pokemon out there. I love Dragonite so much but it seemed like Garchomp was more powerful. I had both on my team and my Garchomp would get me through whatever my Dragonite couldn't even though they were either the same or two levels apart.
Dragonite is an everything type, so you don't have to worry about type advantage. It would be a perfect opponent against all legendary pokemon. You can make it learn all attacks and it would probably like, half of all legendary pokemon. I have to admit it is the most OP pokemon. You can have it use hyper beam, dragon rage, moonburst, and earthquake and will never give up. When you have a dragonite, you owe the world. There are countless strategies to beat even mewtwo! So I recommend it the best pokemon that isn't legendary. Anyway, that includes why dragonite is the best. Why don't they have a dragonite festival every month?
Dragonite has an amazing ability called Multiscale-"Reduces damage when HP is full"
I used Dragonite against faster dragon types like Garchomp and when it used a super effective move like Dragon Claw the damaged was halved. Also Dragonite has a solid bulk of HP. You can also use him by setting up with Dragon Dance. You could literally sweep teams!
You can also counter its weaknesses as it has an amazing move pool. Put Dragonite against a Garchomp or a Salamence, I guarantee he should win!
The only reason dragonite is number one is because of multiscale without that he is nothing. Set up a layer of stealth rocks and there goes his saving grace or get someone with mold breaker and there goes multi scale he should not be number one it should be Garchomp or Hydreigon.
Hydreigon gets my vote for three reasons:
1. Hydreigon was one of the hardest Pokémon to train in my Black 2 playthrough. It was also the one that helped me sweep Iris, except for her Lapras, which took multiple hits. Also, since it was one of the first Pokemon I ever owned, (Yes, Black 2 was my first Pokemon game) it gets bonus points for me because of nostalgia.
2. I like Hydreigon's design. Not too detailed, but still looks epic to me.
3. Hydreigon's a pretty good sweeper in the metagame, but Fairy in X and Y nerfs it.
This is my main dragon type that I use I love it in all ways like its design, stats, and moves. I love this fellow and here is his move set
Dark Pulse
Dragon Pulse
Hyper voice
Dragon Breath
Hope everyone loves him as much as I do. Also SPA up defense down
My Salamance is almost a level 100, 15 more levels! He can kick anyone's butt, and we have been through a lot together. Actually, my cousin who has soul silver (I have Heartgold) used a cheat to catch lance's salamence and traded it to me. I don't use cheats but sometimes he lets me have some of his extra pokemon from cheats. Anyways, salamence is my strongest dragon type and I beat everything with him and Typhlosion. Usually in double battles with them I use earthquake and it doesn't effect salamence so it's perfect!
I think Salamence is just as good and or better than Dragonite. Can do everything that Dragonite, probably better too, lighter than Dragonite, making him faster, not faster than Flygon, if Charizard was a dragon, I would consider him, but I will go with Salamence, for his swift looks, power, and has been one of my greatest dragon pokemon.
Is my favourite pokemon, has been since I first set eyes on it, and it's been on all of my games, from emerald, to diamond, platinum, heart gold, white, and black 2, and of course I'm gonna use him in X. Over all a beast, great power, and speed, a brilliant sweeper. Brilliant over all, if you ask me.
Awesome speed, considerable special attack, and not too bad on physical and special defense. The only thing which lacks a bit may be physical attack, as with a favorable nature it stills "low". Even like that, I think this Pokemon looks AWESOME and is definitely going to my team ( already training ).
When I first saw this Pokemon's art I REALLY liked it. And thank Wonder trade for getting me a noibat I could easily evolve into a Noivern earlier on in game. Nice ton' there, The Thief! (That's its name)... Best bat Pokemon there is.
He is so awesome he is so OP its like he recks everybody he best a level 68 gardevoir he was only level 65 but he smashed her face and beat the elite thks to him he rocks.
Haxorus may have worse stats, but it has good Speed and Attack. It is also quite sturdy, managing to take out a Dragon with it most of the time.
And a Dragon-Dancing, Focus-Sashed Haxorus... The nightmares of battling Iris o-o
Haxorus=a pile of fainted Pokemon.in white 2 I had one and in the elite 4 I defeated every single elite four member (champion too) by just using him! After I used swords dance twice I wiped out Pokemon by 1 shooting them with dragon claw!
He is some dragon type with a high attack stats. He could take down garchomp too.
axew is not that strong but when it evolves twice into haxorus it is like the best dragon type
I will talk about my relationship with this Pokemon.
The first time I saw him, I was like: "what the... It should be a stupid bug type..."
But nope! That thing is ground/dragon! When I saw it was a dragon, I was impressed! I was just searching one! So I chose him over Salamence, because it was extremely annoying to see him all the time. And at this time, I did not know that even Altaria was a dragon type. You can know guess that I was playing Pokemon emerald, right? Only four dragon types. Kingdra was impossible for me to get ( STUPID TRADE), Salamence was annoying and Altaria was just unknown for me. Then, I searched on internet about what was his first evolution: IT WAS THE STUPID TRAPINCH! I was astonished! Giving me more interest to this Pokemon.
When I finally evolved it into Flygon, I felt aal good. And I taught him EARTHQUAKE! Do you know what happened next? I totally destroyed the entire elite four with him and Manectric! I did not even used my Swampert! How cool is that? I beat the game with TWO Pokemon! Seriously, Flygon is a total beast. And now, I think he's my favorite Pokemon. Screw Dragonite! Just use a Flygon! He doesn't care to be hit about rocks!
Kingdra is obviously the strongest non legendary dragon pkmn. It is a water/dragon, so attacks like ice beam and thunderbolt should not be very effective, only a dragon type attack can should do a thing to it
Kingdra is one of the best dragon-type of all times. With only one weakness, you can make him a killing machine against other Pokemon as well as dragon-types!
Kingdra is 7? He is like a total beast, I mean face if you are seeing a seahorse with a crown while you are swimming, then you better hope its not mad
Altaria might not be the STRONGEST but It's not going to leave you down unhanded. It's a wonderful Pokemon for a dragon type and I'll talk about why I like Altaria over any other dragon type (Non legendary). Let's talk about the design first, it's very nice simply. It's quite a gentle elegant dragon bird, what could go wrong it's nice looking and kinda cute. Now the type, despite it's soething we've seen before it's able to take a ice beam unlike some other dragons like Altaria like Salamance or Noivern. Now something that matters a ton about the a Pokemon, it's stats. It's really good stat wise. It's got a good moveset and it's stats go with it. It's defenses are the best stats about it and no doubt will leave you failing. Cotton guard is a good move to take those nasty rock type/physical dragon type moves. It's also got roost to recover that first turn damage. It's got some good stats, the designs nice, and the movesets pretty good.
Now here's my own personal moveset I like to use:
-Cotton guard
-Dragon dance
-Dragon claw/Outrage
-Roost
Have fun with your little dragon bird of doom.
Goodra has to be my favorite dragon type next to Flygon, and NO ONE expected to see a little slime ball that probably should have been poison to be a dragon! That's why I love it so much.
This thing is a beast, it can learn different types of attacks to defeat other types. Also has good defense, my level 100 blastoise hit diantha's goodra with ice beam and it still had a little less than half of its hp left.
Goodra is awesome and friendly. It's way better than Dragonite. I think that Lance should have a Goodra, and replace those underleveled Dragonites that are hacked to evolve early, and know illegal moves.
It has many resistances and has great type coverage. Even though it is slow, it will do very great in a trick room team.
Probably my favorite Pokemon:
1: His design is downright gorgeous.
2: He is great in competitive play.
Yep, His type Poison and dragon are amazing, good for fairy though, he is also my favorite Dragon type
Why is he twelve his attack and defense are great! I have him on why and at level 45 he's more of a tank than my level 49 blastoise!
A power house. Strong jaw, adamant, 6 iv ev trained in atk and spd with thunder+ice fang egg move and crunch earthquake to top it off. You shouldn't under estimate this dude
He should be 6th because I have a lv. 100 one that sweeps through ice, fairy and dragon types although being weak to them.
He is a mega, Charizard is the best Pokemon ever and he is black with blue flames, Reds mega charizard even beats Mewtwo himself.
Its just to badass!
My favorite Mega evolution, it kind of reminds me of Godzilla 2014. Its black and blue color is so cool.
Mega Charizard X should get the no. 1 position. What the hell is Garchomp to it? (at least I think so)
Its shape is awesome. It is quite strong and difficult to beat. Just check out its ability and be amazed. Capture this Pokemon in black 2. It is the best, awesome, surprising, cool & elegant
This thing is awesome, and with his ability, rough skin, he will surely be the best Pokemon in your party.
In pokemon white, I gave this pokemon a rocky helmet and used it's ability rough skin. they work really well together.
The reason this is not high up is because dragonite is on the list. :P
He's fabulous. Your argument is invalid because of his adorable face.
Goomy looks like a an egg who is on drugs... that's why I voted for him
Goomy is love, Goomy is life.
He is a beast and savage; just look at his Christmas tree tail which is also a rocket launcher the tree tail being the rocket. Let's take this beast to the top
Mega Sceptile can one shot every damn Pokemon on this list with dragon pulse (except altaria).
Why is this dead last? It can sweep through half the pokes on this list! It is so good!
Fraxure is wayy better than Zweilous and Noivern. Torterra shouldn't even be on this list considering the fact that he/she is not dragon type - he is grass ground type but not dragon
I can think of many great dragon types salemance, dragonite, flygon, gar chomp but gible isn't one of them. But everyone should look forward to getting his evolution
He is my favorite Pokemon. I don't know why exactly, but he's awesome.
Dratini is just a dragon type.
It owns everything in its path and I'm pretty sure it's a water type too
If Garchomp is number 1, it should be number 2.
