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 is useless against their own weapons. Thus, Dragon-type Pokémon, terrifying creatures, are their own worst enemies.

3. Fairy type

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

So, to inflict maximum damage on them, don't hesitate to exploit their weakness during the fight!

How resistant are Dragon-type Pokémon?

They are strong against certain types of Pokémon, including :

1. Water type

Due to the Lotus Effect, Dragon Pokémon's scales repel water, hence their resistance to type Water.

However, since these are scales, they do not guarantee a optimum protection of the Pokémon, leaving gaps where Sol-type attacks can hit them.

2. The Electrik type

The electrical conductivity of the scales of Pokémon Dragon is slightly higher than that of the rest of their body. As a result, they are partially protected from electrical attacks without making them insensitive to electricity.

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.

Let's take the example of a Steel- and Dragon-type Pokémon:

• When a Ground or Fighting-type attack is used against a Steel-type, the damage caused will not be considerable, because the Dragon type is not weak against the Fighting type in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet version.
• However, when using a Fire attack against the Dragon/Steel type, the damage will be more important. Both Dragon and Steel are weak to Fire-type attacks, which explains it.
