When choosing a hero from this category, you should remember that they have an advantage only over their own type, but are weak against Dragon, Ice, Fairy-types.
Goomy

Undoubtedly, this is the weakest Dragon-type Pokémon. It's even hard to call the character a dragon. Goomy resembles more of a shell-less snail. As for combat potential, It can withstand some attacks thanks to 75th special defense.
Jangmo-o

Jangmo-o is definitely better than the previous hero in terms of characteristics, but it still lags behind the others due to moves. Dragon-type attacks are available later than for others, so it will have an advantage. Scales provide decent physical protection. Assails are not the weakest. If you visually like Jangmo-o, you can achieve a few victories on the edge of survival with this character.
Bagon

Bagon dreams of flying, and this trait has completely shaped the nature and abilities of the creature. Daily jumps from cliffs should have led to the Pokémon's demise, but surprisingly, it only tempered its heads, making the skull almost steel-like. Unfortunately, the creature never managed to fly.

This is a physically strong Pokémon, which is logical from the backstory. Despite being a Dragon-type, it has Fire, Dark, Psychic moves, which is quite unusual.
Dratini

Dratini is a pseudo-legendary from the first generation. This Pokémon is so shy that it was long considered mythical. As it grows, it accumulates a significant amount of life energy, which leads to frequent shedding. The longer the sea serpent grows, the more often it hides behind waterfalls to shed skin. This shed skin is often made into exquisite and expensive boots.

The main gameplay feature is a vast array of different types of attacks. In the second generation, a characteristic move was Dragon Rage. However, from the third generation onwards, Dratini was left without any signature moves. Among other moves, there is a substantial number of Dragon-type attacks. Overall, it's a good Pokémon for dealing damage, but health and defense can fail at the most inopportune moment.
Axew

Axew often tests the strength of tusks, sometimes breaking them. However, the breakage of the main tool does not dismay the Pokémon. It soon grows back even stronger, sharper than before. With their help, the character makes territorial marks on trees, crushes berries, fights enemies, and even climbs walls and trees.

Fraxure

Fraxure is the first evolution of Axew. The total stats are 410. At this stage, the tusks no longer grow back if broken, so the Pokémon carefully sharpens them against river rocks.

Shelgon

Shelgon is the evolution of Bagon. Total stats equal 420. It has encased the body in a hard shell to conserve energy for final evolution. The character never eats completely. It seems the creature will evolve once it has used up all energy reserves. While bony armor allows it to easily deflect enemy attacks, this also makes the hero very slow.

In addition to Dragon-type attacks, Shelgon can learn moves of Normal, Dark, Fire, Psychic, Poison, Flying, Ghost, Rock, Water, Steel, both through training machines and leveling up. The Pokémon inhabits caves, where it remains motionless until it evolves. Logically, it has excellent defense and damage but very weak special defense and speed.

Sliggoo

Sliggoo has a total stats sum of 452. Although not very powerful, the body is covered in such corrosive slime that it can melt anything. For this reason, predators do not approach the Pokémon.
In this form, it fully resembles a snail. Moreover, Sliggoo has also gone blind, making it difficult for the hero to distinguish allies from prey. It navigates surroundings using horns on head, which act as a radar.
In terms of moves, the Pokémon has been short-changed, but statistics are surprisingly good. Following special defense, the attack stat leads.
Druddigon

Regidrago is one of the legendary titans. The character's arms are made of a dragon's skull and jaws. The Pokémon consists of crystallized dragon energy that was used to construct the body. The crystals ran out before completion because people feared hero could destroy the world.

It's extremely resilient and have decent damage output. However, Regidrago knows only one fast attack — Bite.

Goodra

Goodra surpasses all other Dragon-type Pokémon in terms of stats, which total 600. Yet, it's still not the brightest. Sometimes the hero does not understand the trainer's instructions and looks bewildered.
When attacking, Goodra stretches horns significantly and strikes with a force 100 times stronger than that of a heavyweight boxer, yet the character is cheerful, affectionate. It loves to hug trainer, generously covering them with slime, which, fortunately, is not poisonous. However, the Pokémon's friendliness is often mistaken for weakness. But it can surprise tormentors with retractable horns and powerful tail.

Thanks to slime mixed with a layer of fat, the character makes opponents' attacks literally slide off the body. Signature move is camouflage. It has a multitude of different moves, particularly of the Water-type.
The strength in perseverance
Image: mavink.com
The top list of pure Dragon-type Pokémon may have come as a surprise to many. The first and last places are occupied by different forms of the same hero, who doesn't even resemble a dragon in initial forms. This is somewhat instructive. Help a weak creature grow, and it will reward you with strength in the future.
Of course, if the selection included Pokémon of mixed classes, the places would have been taken by entirely different characters. But if you're interested in purebred dragons, these heroes will make an excellent choice.
