Lance looked at an Aerodactyl, decided it was a Dragon, and put it on his team.Lance looked at a Charizard, decided it was a Dragon, and put it on his team.And it turns out that Lance the Dragon Master decides for himself what is or isn't a Dragon based on his own personal metric, which has very little to do with whatever the Pokémon's typing is, and a lot to do with logic and common sense. Lance introducing his DragonairĪs part of his team, Lance has two Dragonairs and one Dragonite, which are certainly hard to beat however, the fact that there are only three Dragon-type Pokémon in all of Generation I means that Lance has to fill in the rest of his six-Pokémon roster with other, non-Dragon-type Pokémon. And you'd go, what the fuck? What's the Dragon type? Oh no, I'm screwed.

In that case, your introduction to this secret type would happen by getting through the first three members of the Elite Four and reaching Lance, who introduces himself as a Dragon-type master. So, back then, if you played Pokémon on your own and without a guide (and without fully deciphering the type chart in the manual), you might have gotten all the way to the Elite Four without knowing that the Dragon type exists at all. And Dragonair and Dragonite are obtained by evolving Dratini at levels 30 and 55 - which, at the time, was the highest level needed to evolve a Pokémon. Even if you get to see a wild Dratini, catching it is a whole different animal. Out of the three, only Dratini can be found in the wild, and only by fishing in a specific location in the Safari Zone, where you cannot use your Pokémon and you can only throw rocks or baits or Safari Balls. This move may make the opponent flinch.The original sprites of the Dratini line from the Japanese Pokémon Red and Green Illustration from Pokémon Fanbook Twister – opposing Pokemon get torn and whipped up in a vicious tornado made by the user.Spacial Rend – The Pokemon tears the opponent together with the space around it.This attack lowers the enemy’s own attack stat. Max Wyrmwind – it’s a dragon-type attack that Dynamax Pokemon use exclusively.The battle also ends when Dragon Tail deals a blow to a single Pokemon in the wild. Dragon Tail – the opponent gets knocked away and its teammate is dragged into play.This dragon-type move will make the target flinch too. Dragon Rush – opponents cower in fear as the user rushes toward them while exhibiting overwhelming menace.Dragon Rage – This strong attack hits opponents with a shock wave of pure rage.Dragon Claw – the Pokemon uses its huge sharp claws to slash at enemies.This move’s power varies though as it depends on the dragon-type moves first used. Devastating Drake – the Pokemon’s Z-Power materializes its aura then charges at the foe forcefully.Core Enforcer – the effect of the target’s Ability is removed by Zygarde if it previously made a move.Clangorous Soul – one of Kommo-o’s signature moves where it increases all its stats.The user’s Defense stat decreases after the attack. Clanging Scales – Kommo-o rubs the scales on its entire body and creates a loud noise to attack the opposing Pokemon.Breaking Swipe -The user sweeps its tough tail wildly and attacks opposing Pokemon.

All dragon-type Pokemon moves worth highlighting are in the list below. So just be careful when battling other types they’re weak towards like ice and fairy-types. They’re also resistant to fire, water, electric, and grass-type Pokemon. They even have ghost-type moves to back them up like Giratina and Dragapult. As powerful as they are, did you know the dragon type’s biggest weakness is their type? On the brighter side, that just means they’re super effective against other dragon Pokemon in battle!
