How Dragon plays

Dragons sweep with Dragon Dance/Calm Mind/Scale Shot and pressure neutral hits. They pair naturally with Steel (to wall Fairy/Ice) and Fairy (defensive switch-ins + status). Mixed sets let them tailor to the metagame (Fire Blast/EQ).

Strengths
  • Great statlines and movepools
  • Resist Fire/Water/Electric/Grass in many cases
  • Late-game sweeping with DD/CM
Weaknesses
  • Weak to Ice, Dragon, Fairy
  • Fairy immunity to Dragon STAB

Team-building notes

  • Cover blind spots: pair Dragon with partners that answer the weaknesses above.
  • Create a pivot path: use U-turn/Volt Switch/Parting Shot or status to bring your breaker in safely.
  • Speed control: priority or fast teammates let your core close once checks are chipped.
  • Win-con clarity: decide if Dragon is your breaker, cleaner, or glue—and support that role with hazards/screens/heal.
