What are the weaknesses of Dragon-type Pokémon?

The Dragon-type Pokemon are cold-blooded and distinguished by their armor, claws and sharp fangs.

But which types are strong against which types :

1. Ice type

Dragon-type Pokémon are a bit like snakes, receiving their internal heat from their environment.

They are numbed by the cold and cannot react, as they have no physiological defense mechanism against heat loss. Dragon-type Pokémon are therefore low in the face of Ice type.

2. Dragon type

Dragon types, on the other hand, are beings of excessive strength. On the other hand, their solid armor n’est pas utile contre leurs propres armes. Ainsi, les Pokémon de type Dragon, des créatures terribles, sont leurs propres pires adversaires.

3. Fairy type

Similarly, from the sixth generation onwards, Dragon-type Pokémon are ineffective against Fairy types.

Ainsi, pour leur infliger le maximum de dégâts, n’hésitez pas à exploit their weakness during the fight!

How resistant are Dragon-type Pokémon?

They are strong against certain types of Pokémon, including :

1. Water type

Par effet lotus, les écailles des Pokémon Dragon repoussent l’eau, d’où sa résistance au type Water.

Cependant, étant donné qu’il s’agit d’écailles, elles ne garantissent pas une optimum protection of the Pokémon, leaving gaps where Sol-type attacks can hit them.

2. The Electrik type

La conductivité de l’électricité des écailles des Pokémon Dragon est légèrement supérieure à celle du reste de leur corps. Par conséquent, ils sont protégés partiellement des attaques électriques sans les rendre insensibles à l’électricité.

As a result, they are resistant to Électrik type.

3. Fire type

The Dragon type is therefore effective against Fire type. It has flame-retardant scales which protect them from fire-type attacks.

4. Plant type

The scales of Dragon-type Pokémon also enable them to resist to attacks by type Plant.

Which type beats the Dragon-type Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

In this version, Dragon-type Pokémon are also weak against the Ice type, Dragon and Fairy.

And as in the Pokémon Go version, their main strengths remain the Dragon type in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet! However, please note that these weaknesses do not take dual type into account.

Prenons l’exemple d’un Pokémon de type Acier et Dragon :

  • Lorsqu’une attaque de type Sol ou Combat est lancée contre le type Acier, les dégâts causés will not be considerable, car le type Dragon n’est pas faible face au type Combat dans la version Pokémon Ecarlate et Violet.
  • However, when using a Fire attack against the Dragon/Steel type, the damage will be more important. Le Dragon et l’Acier sont tous deux faibles aux attaques de type Feu, ce qui l’explique.

What are the characteristics of Dragon-type Pokémon?

  • The Dragon-type Pokemon are classified as colorless in the Trading Card Game.
  • The Insect/Dragon binomial does not have a representative among combinations containing the Dragon type.
  • In general, they have a average potential over 100This statistic allows them to be the first choice of certain players.
  • To this end, most Pokémon of this type are part of the Over Used ou Uber. Without going into too much detail, several Mega-Pokémon and legendary Pokémon are grouped together in the Dragon type, which is why this type is of such interest to Pokémon players.
  • Only the Steel type was its great rival until the Fairy type appeared. Despite their initial stats, which are quite interesting, the Dragon type should more control over specific features of other types to better neutralize them.
  • Above all, they are renowned for their sturdiness. If you ask us, Dracolosse and Minidraco are potentially the most Dragon-like Pokémon, so we recommend them.

What are the differences between Dragon-type and Fire-type Pokémon attacks?

Indeed, just as the fire of the Fire-type Pokémon is composed of methane, that of Dragon-type Pokémon is composed of dihydrogen. Il génère beaucoup plus d’énergie lors de sa combustion, ce qui explique la distinction entre les deux types d’attaques.
