We’re not sure about you, but we’re kind of getting sick of just how OP Dragon Pokémon are. Sure, winged, fire-breathing lizards can be cool and all – but some of these lads don’t even have wings, and most of them can also summon lightning, hailstorms, earthquakes, and just about every other natural phenomenon you could possibly think of. Every time we see a PokéDragon, all we want to do is tell it to stop showing off.
That being said, some Dragon ‘mons really have cemented themselves as iconic figures in Pokémon history. While we’ve had enough of Cynthia’s ridiculous Garchomp and still have nightmares about Winona’s Altaria 20 years on, some of these creatures are among the best designed Pokémon of all time. As a means of celebrating that, we’ve put together a list ranking the top ten Dragon Pokémon from worst to best.
As was the case with our best Fire Pokémon and best Water Pokémon lists, each evolutionary family can only be represented by one ‘mon from it. This is in the interest of fairness and, well… interest. A list dominated by Gible, Gabite, and Garchomp would be a bit rubbish, especially when you consider that two out of three of those Pokémon are, in fact, also rubbish.
Before we move on to the main event, let’s go through some honorable mentions:
- Giratina (Origin Forme, of course – Altered Forme is awful).
- Noivern.
- Flygon.
- Axew.
- Altaria.
- Kyurem White.
- Mega Ampharos.
- Goodra.
Now that’s out of the way, here are the objectively best Dragon Pokémon of all time.
