I would probably say dragonite but I tend to love all dragon types equally. XD

My favorite would also be Dragonite. I love the design and the nostalgia since it’s been around forever. Plus I’m not a big fan of other Dragon Pokémon so bonus points for Dragonite.

Double posting I see

My go to will always be dragonite. He the OG of dragons and was pretty overpowered in the first gen

LuckyCharms : my favorite is gen 5 legendary dragon Kyurem (Black Kyurem).

I love Hydreigon. It's actually my favorite Pokemon, period - I just think everything about it is badass. I'm hoping whatever Gen 5 remakes are down the line (in several years, but they are still inevitable) gives him justice in whatever new mechanic they come up with during Gen 10 or whatever lol

Salamence, being that I'm a Hoenn fanboy and is the first Dragon type i was introduced to.

I would go with dragnite as well but....when I saw this pokemon it became my favourite! Dratini is my favourite dragon type cause its cute and sleek.

I have a lot of experience when it comes to using dragon types but if I had to pick a favorite it's probably currently Goodra it just puts in so much work. Depending on my mood Garchomp is the other contender cool design and very powerful (minus the mega) can run different moves depending on the occasion and is a good scarf and choice band user.

I've always been a massive fan of Kingdra.

Design wise it's one of the most majestic Pokemon ever made. It is the perfect continuation to Seadra, keeping the overall aesthetic of its pre evolutions while adding details and giving off a powerful vibe. I think we can all relate to the moment Blackthorn City Gym Leader Clair first sent it out in battle and we sat there shocked at what we were up against. It is one of the rare Pokemon that have kept looking great throughout all its sprites and models over all its generations.

Its typing is also amazing. Back in its debut generation Water/Dragon was both completely unique to itself as well as just overall one of the best type combinations in the game. It had amazing quadruple resistances to the likes of Fire and Water, while only being weak to Dragon itself, a type which at the type was only given to the Dratini line and Kingdra, while not having a wide selection or distribution of moves to hit Kingdra with. Dragon neutralizing Water's weaknesses to Grass and Electric also helped a lot as Kingdra for the most part was never going to get hit super effectively. Water/Dragon was later granted to the Legendary Pokemon Palkia, further pushing the narrative of it being an almost untouchable combination. While it gaining a new weakness to Fairy in generation 6 wasn't great, Kingdra could still hit them super effectively with both Sludge Bomb and Flash Cannon, not rendering it completely useless. In fact, it wouldn't be until all the way in generation 8 where the holy typing of Water/Dragon was summoned yet again. What majestic being could hold the honor that comes along the typing bestowed upon it? A mutilated fish of course. Oh well, Kingdra is still the OG.

Its stats are among the most balanced in the game. Base 75 HP is about as bang average as it gets for HP, while its offensive and defensive stats all are at a respectable base 95. This allows Kingdra to run a variety of sets, defensively or offensively on both sides of the spectrum. It's never easy to predict what kind of Kingdra you're facing. Rounding off its stats is its base 85 Speed, which isn't amazing by today's standards but Kingdra has some tools to make up for that.

Kingdra was blessed with two amazing abilities in Swift Swim and Sniper. Sniper is a gimmick in and of itself but Kingdra can make good use of it with the combination of a Scope Lens as its held item as well as the move Focus Energy, greatly improving its chances to score crits which get buffed even further by Sniper. Crits were nerfed in gen 6 to only do 1.5 times the damage instead of the previous 2, but to make up for that the overall odds to crit are increased. With Scope Lens and Focus Energy, Kingdra is now guaranteed to score a crit every single turn. Combine that with the moves Agility or Dragon Dance to increase its mediocre speed and you will be killing a lot of Pokemon, being able to sweep teams especially later on in the match. Another plus side is that crits ignore the stat drops given by Draco Meteor, its strongest attack.

Swift Swim however is where the real beauty lies. It makes Kingdra one of the most dangerous Pokemon on teams that rely on the Rain weather condition. Sounds like a gimmick but Rain teams have been popular ever since generation 4. Doubling its speed by default under rain means it no longer needs to set up with Dragon Dance or Agility, granting you immediate power that can get boosted with a Life Orb or Choice Specs item. In generation 8 they even gave Kingdra the move Hurricane, a 120 base flying move that, like Thunder, always hits in the rain. It now has a really good tool to hit bulky grass types like Tangrowth or Amoonguss, no longer having to rely on the weaker Ice Beam.

Oh and we don't talk about its hidden ability Damp, it's not nearly as useful as the two mentioned above.

Overall Kingdra is just an amazing Pokemon. It will always be one of the original Dragons, the tricky way to obtaining it will always make it a rare and valuable Pokemon, but more importantly it will always be an extremely powerful Pokemon to have, both in game and competitively speaking. Who doesn't like Kingdra? Crazy people. Or that mutilated Fish lmao, although I love him too and he's one of my other favorite Dragon types.

My favorite dragon type would be western European. The oriental flying noodles just never worked for me.

Oh, pokemon. I never played a version where dragon type actually existed so I guess I'd need to stick with dragonair/dragonite.

My favorite dragon is Ampharos. Well, mega Ampharos, as it gains the dragon typing after mega evolving. Game Freak, bring back mega evolution pls

If we're talking about "base" dragon, then my vote goes for Flygon, and Hydreigon is slightly below. I've been using both recently on my teams and I like the versatility they offer (and on the latter's case, being able to run both physical and special sets is a plus for me).

Honestly, I'd have to go with Dragapult. It's such a unique concept with it having 2 dreepy that it can use as sort of a rocket laucher I guess. That sort of randomness combined with a type combo not used enough dragon/ghost make Dragapult not only my favorite dragon pokemon of all time, but pretty close to being my favorite gen 8 pokemon as well. (It's a toss up between that and Scorbunny/Cinderace for favorite gen 8 pokemon).
