One of the strongest types in the games, Dragons remain a threat even though they've been weakened several times. Most Dragons are either Pseudo-Legendary or Legendary Pokémon, explaining why they have the highest average HP, highest average Special Attack, and highest base stat total of all types.
Currently, there are a total of thirty Dragon-type moves, including Max, G-Max, and Z-Moves, ten of which are non-damaging and only two of which are Status moves. In contests, Dragon-type moves are generally Cool, although some can be Beautiful or Tough. None are Clever or Cute, matching the overall fierce and majestic reputation of the type.
Dynamax Cannon
Introduced in Generation VIII, Dynamax Cannon is one of the Legendary Pokémon Eternatus's signature moves. With a base power of 100 and accuracy of 100%, this move is incredibly powerful. It takes the form of a strong red and purple beam. If the target is Dynamaxed or Gigantgamaxed, Dynamax Cannon deals twice the damage.
Eternatus learns this attack at level 56. It can be seen as the equivalent of Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash, Zacian's and Zamazenta's signature moves.
Dragon Rush
Dragon Rush is a damage-dealing moe with a base power of 100 but an accuracy of only 75%. A Physical move, it also has a 20% chance to cause the opponent to flinch. Starting in Generation VI, if the target uses the move Minimize, Dragon Rush not only deals double the damage but bypasses accuracy checks to always land. Twenty-one Pokémon can learn this move by leveling up and a further nine by Breeding.
Introduced in Generation IV, Dragon Rush is the secret weapon of the fearsome Pseudo-Legendary Garchomp in the battle against Sinnoh's League Champion, Cynthia.
Core Enforcer
One of the signature moves of another Legendary Pokémon, Core Enforcer belongs to Zygarde's move pool. It is a damage-dealing move with 100 base power and 100% accuracy. If the user moved second or if the target had a Bag item used on it in the same turn, this move suppresses the target's ability for the rest of the battle.
The ability suppression will not work if Core Enforcer fails or if the target is affected by Protect or Mirror Move. It is one of several Moves available to Zygarde starting at level 1.
Clanging Scales
Generation VII's Pseudo Legendary, the dual-type Dragon/Fighting Kommo-o, has Clanging Scales as one of its signature moves. With a base power of 110 and 100% accuracy, Clanging Scales is a sound-based Special move. It deals damage but also reduces the user's Defense by one stage.
Clanging Scales is learned upon evolution. If used against a Pokémon with the ability Soundproof, this move will have no effect, which means it may not work against another Kommo-o.
Outrage
Introduced as the signature move of Dragonite's evolutionary line, Outrage made its debut in Generation II. The user enters a state of fury, making it rampage for two to three turns, after which it becomes confused due to fatigue. While using Outrage, the Pokémon can't perform any other move. This move has a base power of 120 and 100% accuracy, although initially, its base power was just 90.
A Physical move, it became available via Move Tutor in Generation IV's Pokémon Platinum. In the Let's Go games, it became TM39 and in Sword & Shield, it is TR24.
Draco Meteor
Introduced in Generation IV, Draco Meteor is a Move Tutor-exclusive Special Attack. It had a base power of 140 in Gens IV and V, before being reduced to 130 in subsequent generations. Its accuracy is only 90% and it lowers the user's Special Attack by two stages.
The attack takes the form of comets that fall from the sky, impacting the target. Draco Meteor damages up to two foes, and up to one ally Pokémon.
Roar Of Time
The signature move of Pokémon Diamond's mascot, Dialga, Roar of Time has an absurdly high base power of 150 and is 90% accurate. It is a Special move that forces the user to recharge after being used.
Dialga learned this move at level 40 in the original Diamond & Pearl and Platinum. It then learned it at level 46 for all subsequent generations, until Sword & Shield, where it learns it at level 88. Despite its name, Roar of Time is not a sound-based move.
Dragon Energy
Generation VIII saw the introduction of two further golems, Regielecki and Regidrago. Dragon Energy is the latter's signature move, a damage-dealing Special attack with a base power of 150 and 100% accuracy.
This 150 power, however, depends directly on Regidrago's HP. The lower the HP, the less powerful Dragon Energy is. The player can calculate the power at any given moment with a simple formula, dividing the current HP by the maximum HP and then multiplying by 150. This move's power can't be less than 1, though.
Eternabeam
The second of Eternatus's signature moves, Eternabeam is a damage-dealing Special move. With an insanely high 160 power and 90% accuracy, it is the most powerful non-Z Dragon-type move. After attacking, Eternatus must recharge during the following turn.
It is Eternatus's most powerful attack, at least in its original form, and learns it at level 88. When using it in the games, it briefly assumes its Eternamax form.
Clangorous Soulblaze
Kommo-o's exclusive Z-move, Clangorous Soulblaze is the upgraded version of Clanging Scales. It is a damage-dealing Special attack with a base power of 185. It never misses and can only be stopped by a target holding a King's Rock.
Clangorous Soulblaze deals damage to all the opposing foes and increases the user's Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by one stage. Because it is a sound-based move, like its initial form Clanging Scales, Pokémon with the Soundproof ability will be immune to this attack.
