The Dragon-Types has been consistently one of the strongest Types in the Pokemon series. They are great to use against Grass, Fire, Water, Electric, and other Dragon-type Pokemon. The only types that are super effective against Dragon are Ice, Fairy, and the Dragon type itself.
You can find many Dragon types within the Paldea region, as roughly 35 of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's 400+ Pokemon share this type. This list will help you find the strongest draconic beasts to help your team become the very best like no one ever was.
Updated by Day Young on 02/02/2023: The Pokemon Home update is an update that allows Pokemon to be transferred from previous titles into Scarlet and Violet allows many new Dragon-Type Pokemon to be used. This includes powerful Legendaries that overpower many Pokemon that were available prior to its release.
15 Haxorus
Many of the best Dragon types in the Pokemon series are classified as Legendary or Pseudo-Legendary. Despite a common misconception that it is a Pseudo, Haxorus doesn't qualify as either. Nonetheless, it is a mighty pure Dragon-Type with a massive 147 Base Attack stat. That does, however, mean its other stats are less desirable.
Haxorus doesn't spawn in the overworld, but its pre-evolutions Axew and Fraxure can be found in the North Province's first area. Axew evolves into Fraxure at level 38, and Fraxure evolves into Haxorus at 48.

14 Goodra/Hisuian Goodra
Like Haxorus, standard Goodra is a pure Dragon-Type Pokemon that doesn't spawn naturally. It'll evolve from Sligoo if it reaches level 50 while it's raining. Sligoo can be found near Casseroya Lake. Goomy can be found much sooner, but it doesn't evolve into Sligoo until level 40.
Goodra is a little better than Haxorus since its base stats are spread out more evenly. Additionally, it is possible to transfer Hisuian Goodra from Pokemon Legends Arceus to Scarlet and Violet via Pokemon Home. Hisuian Goodra is Dragon/Steel-Type. Steel is resistant to 10 of the 18 Types, making a very powerful Type combination.
