Title: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: babyHERO on May 09, 2010, 08:57:20 PM
As of currently i have 4/6 pokemon inn my team && I would like a dragon type to be included for the 5th or even both spots left.. Im having a hard time choosing bewteen the following pokemon ...

Dragonite
Salamence
Altaria
Garchomp
Kingdra

Pls, list which one you think is better and if you can why you think so along with a moveset if that isn't asking to much.. Thnks in advance !  :)
Also, If you would like to include two of the pokemon I listed that is fine because I do have two spots left  8)

you have flygon too, don't forget about him. personally my favourite is dragonair, but if you want power before look i'd took salamence. he have STAB from dragon and flying moves and have really great att and sp.att, and don't forget speed :D
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: babyHERO on May 09, 2010, 09:33:40 PM
Yeah I didnt include Flygon because I thought overall he iss weak ::)
I was thinkinq Salamence as well ..just can't pick him over Dragonite or Garchomp ...If you could only choose two out of the five i listed which would you pick ?

Flygon makes a nasty revenger with a Choice Scarf, so long as you play him right. His U-Turn is great for scouting as well. He's more of a utility revenger.

Salamence is one of the most powerful Dragons in the game, barring Garchomp and Ubers; I personally don't like him, but I will admit how powerful and dominating he is. His mixed set is particularly fearsome.

Dragonite is generally considered a poor mans Salamence, but he has three things Salamence does not; better defenses, Extreme Speed, and Superpower. I prefer him.

Kingdra is a scary stand alone sweeper. It has so many options. Dragon Dancing for the attack and speed increase. It can be used on rain teams, or by itself using Rain Dance in its own moveset. It can learn a wide variety of moves, and has two extremely powerful STAB's. Definitely my second favorite Dragon.

Post by: babyHERO on May 09, 2010, 09:56:01 PM
yeah ..But, Flygon just doesn't appeal to me for sum odd reason..
Ok, so Im' down to these three Salamence,Dragonite, and Garchomp ...and still have absolutely no idea which one {or two} to put into my team ..this is causing more than a headache than I initially imagined... Oh the reason why I choose not to include Kingdra was because I basically have a water type which is my starter Swampert\ Empoleon ..sadly I can't choose between those two as well  :-[
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: DarK_SouL on July 12, 2010, 04:06:20 AM
I think for starters you should choose Swampert over Empoleon because Empoleon sucks, terrible Moveset and stats.

Oh and as for a Dragon Type you should get Rayquaza

Oh and yo don't have any more Dragon Type choices that are not legendary, but why an all Drago Type team, I mean Dragon is my Favorite Type but, it will be hard to beat the game with all Dragon Types. Oh and what game? Are yo talking about PU.

You should use kingdra. It's only weakness is dragon, which can easily be taken care of with its own dragon STAB moves, it can also utilize dragon dance well to up it's waterfall and outrage, though it can also be a special sweeper with access to hydro pump and draco meteor, and with rain boosts and decent bulk, I would say kingdra is probably my preferred dragon out of the bunch.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: LeoReborn on July 17, 2010, 02:58:17 PM
Garchomp, Using Ground type moves can save you, Earthquake Style.

Then Stick a Charizard in the last spot, It can Use Dragon type moves without the Dragon/Ice weakness.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Silver on July 17, 2010, 09:52:50 PM
Honestly, Kingdra is my favorite.

With one weakness, the sniper ability and a scope lens while EV trained for speed: devastating combo, he can easily take out the dragon users.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Desbear on July 21, 2010, 12:57:56 AM
garchomp can destroy all that you battle
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Jerry on July 21, 2010, 04:48:15 PM
The big problem is that like most dragon pokemon, it has a 4x damage when hit with ice. From the list, I'd say Kingdra is the better. With Swift Swim active, it can take down any other dragon pokemon quick with a strong ice move, or with sniper dealing 3x damage instead of 2x.

I still say that you go with flygon because he has great speed, sp. attack, and attack. My flygon knows draco meteor, dragon claw, earthquake, and heat wave. And the fact that it shouldnt really have a problem with ice types makes him awesomer. But if you dont want flygon, i would totally go with kingdra or salamence.

And why would u say he doesnt have a problem with ice? Ice is 4x effective against flygon

Did it ever occur to you that he has high speed and can learn fire type moves such as fire blast, heat wave, etc. or moves like stone edge and such.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help

Ice Shard has priority, like Quick Attack, and is the most commonly seen physical ice move in all metagames. And while those attacks work, they also have lower than optimal accuracies. Ice moves, in general, have 100%.

So, Flygon can do well against opposing Pokemon with an ice move. It's usually better to U-Turn out into something that can take it.

Post by: Frenchfry on October 06, 2010, 11:36:07 PM
I dun like flygon...
:D When I pick my pokemon, I go as much with looks as I do with actual stats. Flygon kind of looks like a fly... I hate flies.
I've never used it myself, but Kingdra is a pretty good pokemon, and Dragonite is always a good choice, with the addition of making a lot of people (me) feel nostalgic.
Though, from that list, I'd say Garchomp, then Dragonite, then Salamence.
Not that Salamence isn't good, but...
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Raikt on October 07, 2010, 12:32:37 AM
Not that Salamence isn't good, but...

He is as ugly as a rock.

But, I think I have a new favorite Dragon. (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ononokus_(Pok%C3%A9mon))

In all honesty, I can easily seem him being neutered from the OU metagame. His only STAB is Dragon, but he has an Attack close to Groudon's, great speed, learns Dragon Dance and Claw Sharpen, and has a pretty wicked move pool. Plus, he can always use an ice reduction berry. Ouch.

Still, finally: we get a good looking Dragon to back up all that power.

Theres that dark/dragon hydra thing as well Sazandra was his name (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sazandra_(Pok%C3%A9mon))
He looks like he could be a good special sweeper. Yours has better stats though. I'll probably try and go for both, anyway.

and ur making the mistake of comparing flygon to ice types i mean ur right he can destroy most ice types if u ask me but another type of pokemon with an ice type move is what i would fear if i were u like a nidoking ... i don't care what attack flygon does he is not going to ko nidoking in one hit...so then an ice puch or ice beam and flygon is history. and nidoking is just one of many examples

Nidoking is part Poison and weak to Ground Attacks. Flygon is faster than Nidoking. He can easily OHKO Nidoking with an Earthquake.

Try to condense your messages into a single post next time, deadae.
And flygon is ugly as an insect. If you find insects pretty, then I can undrstand why you might like flygon.

Anyway... In my humble opinion, there is a problem with the game if it is easy to OHKO when the levels are equal and neither of them have outrageously high stats.

sry i din't think it was mean but it was disrespectful i am sry. but i felt the same way when they just sat there and said a flygon could beat a nidoking that has an ice atk... ill try to be nicer tho i was wrong

I am utterly confused by this post.

And a Flygon would be able to OHKO a nidoking with earthquake because he gains STAB from it
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: xhizor8201 on October 15, 2010, 02:01:51 AM
So in other words, flygon is very strong and probably can OHKO a nidoking with earthquake. I really like that is has high Speed and both high Sp. Attack and Attack.

im telling u he won't ko him with any of his moves unless he has some super powerful move i don't know about or gets a crit he can't ohko nidoking and then nidoking is gonna turn around and ohko him
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Jerry on October 15, 2010, 07:13:37 PM
Sure it can.

Damage = (((42 x AttackStat x AttackPower / DefenseStat) / 50) + 2) x STAB x Weakness/Resistance

Nidoking (Def boosting stat)
HP : 366
Def : 278
Spd : 269

Flygon (Atk boosting stat)
Atk : 328
Spd : 299

Earthquake: Pow 100; Acc: 100

Damage = (((42 x 329 x 100/278) / 50) + 2) x 1.5 x 2 = 304

Now, with a Life Orb;

Damage = 304 x 1.5 = 456

HP Left = 366 - 456 = -90

Oh noes! It owes HP! :o

Post by: Raikt on October 15, 2010, 08:01:51 PM
328 Atk vs 190 Def & 303 HP (100 Base Power): 372 - 440 (122.77% - 145.21%)

It's a guaranteed OHKO, even if Flygon hits the bottom portion of the RNG and deals as little damage as possible.

nidoking dont have 190 def?....and i don't even see how u added in def in any of this any way i won't beleive it till i see it and i've seen him survive stronger attacks frome stronger opponents but i haven seen flygon vs nidoking even on youtube so... its very hard for me to believe cuz i've had both lvl100 and nidoking is way more reliable than flygon he always ko's any1 he is up against

yes please do the shoddy battle make sure nidoking gets ice beam  and deck him for me :)
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Jerry on October 16, 2010, 07:53:36 PM
That only shows that the Mewtwo is weak and cannot even attack three times within those 3 turns...

Turn 1:
Mewtwo uses Psychic
Nidoking uses Earthquake

Turn 2:
Mewtwo idles
Nidoking is switched to Persian

Turn 3:
Persian attacks first and KOs Mewtwo

A weak Mewtwo indeed...

Uhh to get back on topic, I'd say my fav in the lot is Kingdra, for the various reasons people stated above, but... I find garchomp quite lethal, correct me if I'm wrong, but he can get rid of anything,
high attack and speed, the only type that resists dragon is steel, and guess what, garchomp is dragon/ground, awesome combo, so ground beats steel, but okay you throw in skarmory or bronzong with levitate?  no worries, garchomp got fire fang (or even better?) So yeah, I have yet to find a poke that would last 2-3 turns against garchomp, but I know, a faster ice poke does the trick, seeing garchomp cant learn dragon dance, but still :P

My swampert would beat your garchomp

Also according to your logic, Garchomp would be the same as steelix, who is weak to fire, fighting, water, and even to ground itself, which are alot of popular move types in the OU.

But like Jerry pointed out, Garchomp is Dragon/Ground, so a Mamoswine with Ice Shard would tear through a garchomp and his 4x ice weakness
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Daedrin on October 17, 2010, 03:35:47 PM
rofl my bad, I was tired, it is dragon/ground of course :P (edited)

And yeah you're right, mamoswine would own it, like it would own probably any 4x weakness to ice dragon, I was just pointing out the fact garchomp can get rid of any type, because of his dragon/ground/fire moves, I Wasnt saying its unbeatable :P

Ok Viper i don't 100% understand shoddy but me and my freind did it yestardy and yeah nidoking was one hit ko'd so ur right but nidoking is still alot more useful against others i think so i still pick him over flygon anyday. Jerry i checked the stadium stats for the speacial mewtwo and all the rest of the pokemon on Stadium and basically all of them are very low so u were right on that.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Level5Pidgey on October 18, 2010, 12:25:18 AM
In conclusion:

Most dragons are 4x weak to ice, so they get railed by Ice Punch/Shard/Fang/Beam/Whatever.

Flygon, due to its higher attack stat and speed stat, completely owns Nidoking.
The only thing Nidoking really has over Flygon is SR and Toxic Spikes.

If OP wants a Dragon, most of them are OP anyway.
Flygon's a good Scarfed revenge.
Kingdra's a beast and works even if your team's a touch ice weak already.
Mence and Garchomp are OP.
Dragonite has good Extremespeed sets.
Altaria's fair.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Raikt on October 18, 2010, 07:01:36 AM
Dragonite has good Extremespeed sets.

Can't forget Super Power; one of the reasons I've always preferred Dragonite to 'mence anyway, obvious aesthetic reasons aside.

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.

As of currently i have 4/6 pokemon inn my team && I would like a dragon type to be included for the 5th or even both spots left.. Im having a hard time choosing bewteen the following pokemon ...

Dragonite
Salamence
Altaria
Garchomp
Kingdra

Pls, list which one you think is better and if you can why you think so along with a moveset if that isn't asking to much.. Thnks in advance !  :)
Also, If you would like to include two of the pokemon I listed that is fine because I do have two spots left  8)




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.

It really depends on your other pokémon, what kind of pokémon do you need (coverage)? Do you need a physical sweeper/Special sweeper/supporter/Tank?

Dragonite would be my choice just because he's super strong and can back it up
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: deadae on July 21, 2011, 04:47:08 PM
salamance and garchomp arent in the game right....? if so then i say choose dragonite if those two are in the game i say salamance is a great choice but then again i like dragonite better than garchomp but that speed is very nice for taking out multiple opponnents with the right move set still salamance and dragonite are my choices

Garchomp fails as a dragon pokemon because it can't learn dragon dance.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: zorocario on October 19, 2011, 10:42:40 PM

From what I am reading,you my friend need to work out how to stop ice types.

Post by: Mr. Fox on October 19, 2011, 11:39:10 PM
bloody hell people, most dragon type pokemon can carry a move that will put the hurt on ice types. Yes most Ice are faster then dragon pokemon, but some of the best mono ice counters are best used scarfed.

What if you are facing up with a bulky ice type?Any ideas to take them down?
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Mr. Fox on October 20, 2011, 12:05:17 AM
Hit them as hard as you can and hope for the best. Dragon isn't a very bulky type.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Ice Warrior Astral on October 20, 2011, 12:07:34 AM
Most scarfed Pokemon are frail cause all the EVs go towards its physical attack and speed.

he is talking like hes drunk there is nothing one dragon can do about a bulky ice type

Then there are priority moves.Ice shard can hurt if set up right.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: deadae on October 20, 2011, 12:35:26 AM
y use a priority  move vs a dragon just blizzard it if u have a bulky ice pokemon i mean
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: Ice Warrior Astral on October 20, 2011, 12:38:15 AM
I'm not the kind to use Blizzard and don't tell me to use hail.Curse Mamoswine with Ice Shard will kill.
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help

that mamoswine is a pretty good fighter and it take hit in the freaking As8
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: deadae on October 20, 2011, 04:35:32 PM
oh so we are just two diff trainers i would never try to curse around any dragon b4 the dragon yes but while its there no cuz if they dont take u out while ur cursing then its the trainers fault not the dragons
Title: Re: Dragon Pokemon ..Need Help
Post by: John Flame on October 20, 2011, 05:11:54 PM
It's not as simple as a take out the 1 turn curser.If you didn't predict and switch that means the target get's even another curse.

If you did predict,there is chance that mamoswine can be faster.Depends on the pokémon.
