Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Desbear:
good point
how about sazandora or ononokusu from the 5th region oh yeah i forgot to tell you we have to wait till spring of 2011
PkMn Trainer Black:
Flygon or Kingdra
My flygon knows fly(for evasion & fighting/grass types), Flamethrower( ice/steel types and to boost power),dig(evasion and since earthquake can't hit with levitate in effect), and draco meteor(you should already know 8) )
kingdra is the most balanced dragon(besides arceus) in gen 4. I ould prefer it knowing Dragon pulse, ice beam, waterfall and dragon dance.

Dragonite, Salamence, Altaria AND Garchomp... all have 4x Ice weakness, but have specific traits which can overcome said weakness, if with much difficulty. Kingdra is particularly relevant due to it's Ice resistance and is a Sp.Atk type Dragon Pkmn. Although it's stats seem to be much lower. i can show each Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses (mostly opinionated):
Dragonite- a balanced powerhouse with more Attack and HP generally. Physical moves like Dragon Claw or Dragon Rush and Fly have greater impact, but can learn attacks like Ice Punch to counter it's own.
-Rock, Ice, Dragon weaknesses; the most formidable foe would be Aerodactyl, as it is faster and can deliver a fatal blow quickly.
Salamence-Intimidate lowers attack of opponents, around same stats as Dragonite but less Defense and Sp.Def generally. Powerhouse and physical moves like Dragon Claw, Dragon Rush, and Fly have greater impact.
-Rock, Ice, Dragon weaknesses; most formidable foe is Articuno. Ice-type Speed/Sp.Atk can take down Salamence in a flash.
Altaria-Status type Dragon Pkmn, mainly used to Dodge and irritate opponents pkmn, balanced stats.
-weak in terms of anything in regards to Dragon Pkmn, most formidable foe is Walrein. A hefty Def/Sp.Atk type Ice Pkmn can kill before taken out themselves. Abomasnow is also potent.
Kingdra-Sp.Atk Dragon type, has very unique characteristics with other Sp.Moves
-Mainly weak in Defense and Speed most formidable foe is Garchomp. Fast dragon move delivery will take this down.
Garchomp-Highly effective Dragon AND Ground type in terms of Speed/Attack.
-Weak vs. Ice, Dragon yet has trouble with Flying, Ghost and Steel pokemon. Most formidable foe is Drifblim, seeing as some status moves and effects can keelhaul Garchomp without damage being done.

this is why being a mono dragon trainer is so freaking hard...
I like salamance's new ability, Earthquake Spirial. it raises its attack every time it faints a pkmn.give it a max sweep set, meaning, only attack moves. for Garchomp focus on its speed, it is one of the fastest dragons available. draqonite: take advantage of its high defs, give it roost to take off damage from setting up a dragon dance. I could talk all day on how to use dragons, so that is all I will say in this post be back later to impart more wisdom.
