So we have a lot of options here for the "best" - which do you guys think is the best/strongest? Legendaries count :)

Reshie! We've seen the power of dragons many times throughout regions, and the fearsome behemoths of Unova are no exception. Yet While Hydreigon, Zekrom, Druddigon, Kyurem, Haxorus look cool, deadly and inspire strength, Reshiram inspires beauty. Reshiram is an almost holy figure, a creature of white light with blue, sky-like, standing for nothing but truth. He's by far Unova's most unique dragon.

I don't think there's ever been a dragon really like this in any generation. Cute maybe like Dragonite or Goodra, but with Reshiram's noble, heavenly beauty? I'd say Reshiram's in a class apart.

Druddigon! He was that one Pokemon I wanted to use since I first saw him. And I included him on my Black team during first playthrough.

White Kyurem is downright scary, since it can learn Earth Power, Focus Blast, and Blast Burn as a way of getting back at Steel-types with a high Sp. Atk stat to boot, since Kyurem cannot learn Earthquake and Superpower, which would have made its' other form equally as frightening competitively.

Druddigon, people call him a digimon or whatever, but I think stand alone Pokemon are interesting as they don't need to evolve to be strong and Druddigon is no exception. The other dragons aren't my cup of tea tbh.

All the Druddigon love makes me smile! It's grown to be my favorite pokemon for some reason. That being said, I like all the dragons in Gen V. Zekrom and Reshiram are my favorite cover legendary pokemon, Haxorus has a sweet design, and Hydreigon is one of the most threatening pokemon in terms of design. (just needs to evolve 10 levels earlier!)

jumping on the haxorus hype train especially because of how awesome its shiny is. black shinies are some of the coolest and the game just gives you one after all.

Same, It's also great to have on your E4 team as I used one when I beat the E4 in Sun, super strong and kinda tanky

My favourite Dragon type of Gen 5 is Hydreigon. It has a fearsome design, a great offensive typing in Dark/Dragon, high attacking stats (especially Special Attack), and plenty of good attacking moves like Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, Surf, Flamethrower, Earth Power, and Flash Cannon.

There are several great Dragons in Unova but my favourite of them is Haxorus. It has an impressive design and evolves from the adorable Axew.

It is the main Pokemon of both Iris and Drayden and even has a genuinely great Shiny which is Black and Red. Indeed a Shiny Haxorus is an in-game reward for catching every Pokemon in the Unova Pokedex in BW2.

For design, probably Hydreigon. I liked the idea of an evolution line that gained an extra head with each evolution, and the naming theme of using German names for "one, two and three" was very clever.

For practical reasons, I'd say Haxorus. It evolves at a respectable enough level and gets good moves but not too late, unlike Hydreigon's stupid Lv64 requirement. Haxorus will at least be fully-evolved by the Elite Four which definitely helped give it a use.
