I understand it's typing, the best Pokémon ever has to be a dragon, therefore Altaria is a Dragon. Plus, everyone knows that Dragons don't have wings, they have clouds instead.

Like, I know right. Everyone knows wings made of meat and bones are so overrated. Clouds is the new thing. Everything with wings is awesome! Even KFC!

So, even though I know the topic is about Noivern it doesn't seem really popular. How about I open up a new one?
(Previous Topics remain open to discussion)
What are your opinions on the sixth generation Dragon type Pokemon?
I would simply like to know your opinion on the following:

1. Best Dragon type Pokemon.
2. Why it's the best.
3. What is it's best move.
4. One improvement you'd like to make.

We got a couple of cool Dragon types in Gen 6 like Goodra and Tyrantrum. I like Tyrantrum a lot. Rock/Dragon is a cool typing, and it even gets Rock Head+Head Smash. It could use a little more Speed and even Attack though (despite having base 121 Attack).

My favourite from Gen VI would have to be Noivern lmao simply because it looks the best, and is the strongest from Gen VI (imo). It has the speed to outpace the others, and is generally an interesting concept. I don't know its moveset, so can't say its best move, but probably something like Draco Meteor. An improvement? Make it so that it's as strong as Garchomp and Mega Salamence. Haha, easy

I haven't played Gen VI but I agree with Zekrom. Tyrantum has cool typing, cool moves, and it is a dinosaur. If you ask how it could be better, it should have
CLOUD WINGS
so it could fly.

Dragon_Trainer_ has reassumed the position of club leader.

Tyrantrum is my favorite because of its design, stats and movepool. It's pretty intimidating and it can wreck stuff pretty well.

Tyrantrum was on my team immediately during my first run through of Y. But it took me until it learned Dragon claw to realise it was Dragon type too lmao. I presumed it was just Rock haha.

Of the Dragon-types introduced this generation, the only one i've used in-game was Tyrantrum. It has solid physical stats but rather iffy everything else, but I have used it in Y twice. It was rather hard to use at some points but I still enjoyed having it for its strength, but it really begs for a bit more Special Defense i'd say.

I'd agree. Towards the end of the game, I think I recall training another Pokémon that ended up taking its place for the E4. It just seemed to take damage so easily for a Pokémon of its stature. I would have liked it to perhaps deal less damage, but absorb a few more hits, so it didn't feel like a stack of playing cards against a storm when using it.

My fave of the 6th Gen Dragon-types has to be Goodra. I love how it's a cutie in what is a field of menacing-looking pseudo-legendaries, while having a very cool design concept with its evolution line.

I'm also a fan of how its stats can make it go mixed, so you could either be Outraging things to death or firing off powerful Draco Meteors, as well as having access to a good variety of different attacks. And it looks so huggable! How can you not love hugging such a big adorable dragon?

The other ones are awesome too, but I have a soft spot for the cute stuff.

So, that was a great discussion we conclude that Tyrantrum is awesome! I mean, I looked it up on bulbapedia
Spoiler:
Alpha Sapphire Nothing could stop this Pokémon 100 million years ago, so it behaved like a king.

That's a great description of a dragon! Every Dragon is indeed a king! And this one knew it's status. I mean, look at Dragon designs. Rayquaza! A Sky Ruler! Goodra! Cuteness Ruler! Kingdra! Sea Ruler!

That brings me to our new topic:
Do you think Dragon Ascent should be a Dragon Type move rather than a Flying Type move?

I mean "Birdie Birdie will you pet" was a great poem but Rayquaza is not a bird. It's bloody 90 feet Dragon! It stopped the war dudes!!

Also Pokemon for the week is Garchomp and Mega Garchomp!

I think you should know that Garchomp is part ground type, not rock type. Also, I think Garchomp's best move is Outrage/Lum Berry. (is it?)

While the move's name has Dragon in it, I still think its animation has connections to Flying-type more than Dragon-type, since Rayquaza like goes up in the air and then strikes from above, and it doesn't get many good Flying moves on its own so it's definitely something that's welcome.

It is a little weird that it's Flying and not Dragon since many Dragon type moves have the word "dragon" in them, but I like it better as a Flying move because Rayquaza doesn't really have much in the way of Flying STAB and Dragon Ascent is basically the Close Combat of Flying types.


Have you ever used Garchomp competitively or ingame?
All the time. Used it once on a Platinum playthrough, and one's a part of my doubles team and sometimes gets used in singles. She's great.

How is Garchomp different from other Rock Ground and dragon types?
Hmmm....I guess one thing would be a little different would be that it's based off of something that's not a dragon (a landshark) but is Dragon type. Not like Tyrantrum or the Latis are either, but.....

What were your thoughts when it was revealed?
I never really paid attention to pre-release info before Black2/White2, so I don't got anything to say about this one.

What are your thoughts on it's overall design and dex description?
I like it. I like the fins and the coloration. Still don't get why the dex descriptions mention its supposed ability to fly like a fighter jet yet it can't Fly or anything in the games.

Any artwork you found interesting on the internet about it?
I'll take a look later

What's the best move it has?
Idk if it has one singular best move but it does make for a good Scarfer, Stealth Rock Setter, or Swords Dancer.

I too think that Dragon Ascent would be acceptable as a Flying-type move, as weird as its name suggests. It already has Outrage, a Dragon-type move of the same power.

And good old Garchomp...the thing that we remember Cynthia beating us into the dirt with. That thing has quite a few ways it can go about even with so little moves.

I used one once on a Soul Silver playthrough, it later became a Dragonite. Never used Dragonair competitively though since NFE's usually aren't good for competitive play (with a few exceptions like Porygon 2, Chansey, etc).

What were your thoughts when you came across it?
Idek lol, first time I saw one was like 15 years ago so I don't really remember.

Any artwork you found interesting on the internet about it?
I was actually using this for a little while as my avatar until like a few days ago:


Do you think Dragonair should get a Mega Evolution?
Dragonair can't really get a Mega Evolution since Mega Evolution is only for fully evolved Pokemon, but it's possible that Dragonite could get one. Not exactly one I'd be wild for but I can certainly see them doing it.

But then there's the old question of, what do you name Dragonite's mega stone?

I've used it yes... Only until it evolved into a Dragonite though.

How is Dragonair different from other Dragon types?

Well...Mostly because of its design I guess. But it's not really unique in terms of dragon design either. Rayquaza shares a similar design, although not, I think, based on the same dragon.

What were your thoughts when you came across it?

Eh. I've never actually been the biggest fan of this dragon evolution line. I think they're actually quite plain, and there are many better dragon types to fit their type.

What are your thoughts on it's overall design and pokédex description?

Its overall design as I mentioned above is plain. It's cool, but not really unique enough for it to stand out in my books, and it now gets overshadowed by Pokémon with more impressive designs like Noivern, Salamence and Hydreigon for example. I guess it's down to opinion, but I myself don't feel like it's the height of dragon types. Especially considering the fact it isn't even fully evolved.

Any artwork you found interesting on the internet about it?

Go type in Dragonair fanart into Google Images No because I don't really take much interest in the Pokémon and never really bothered to research it.

What's the best move it has?

Erm... Draco Meteor? Dragon Rush? It's not really competitive or often left long enough to warrant a finished or developed moveset put to it.

Exclusively, do you think Dragonair should get a Mega Evolution?

What? An unevolved Pokémon getting a Mega? Don't be silly! No way. Even if all fully-evolved Pokémon had Megas, I wouldn't want any Pokémon that have evolutions to get a Mega. Kinda besides the point then, and every Pokémon turns into a super powerhouse and the game becomes boring. No, I think Megas should be limited to the few we have no and possibly a couple more.

Dragonair is really quite underwhelming, and eh, I am a little disappointed in the spotlight landing on it, since I don't have much to say about it. It's just not my type of Dragon.

Of course, but I only ended up evolving it into Dragonite.

It's the only Dragon-type that's snake-like (save for it's pre-evo and Rayquaza, though it's still more snake-like than Rayquaza).

You mean 15 years ago?

What are your thoughts on it's overall design and pokédex description?

I like it's design, and it's Pokédex entries demonstrate just how majestic it really is.

Either Outrage or Draco Meteor.

Moot point imo because Dragonite will get it. It would be pretty cool with a Mega I must say.

I'll do one I suppose. Hmm, who should it be? Oh, I've got it!

Spoiler:

Flygon!

Ruby Pokédex: Flygon is nicknamed "the elemental spirit of the desert." Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a sandstorm while flying.

That's quite a nickname.

Some questions to ponder:

Have you ever used Flygon on your team, in-game or competitive?

What was your first impression of Flygon?

What do you think of Flygon's design?

What do you think is Flygon's best move?

Do you think Flygon should get a Mega Evolution?

there is only one answer to the last question

I was going to use a Flygon once on a Ruby playthrough....but Trapinch and Vibrava were a pain in the ass to use so it never evolved into a Flygon and it got boxed just before the 8th badge. I may have briefly used one on a UU team some time ago, but I don't really remember.

Username: VillageofDragons
Do you want a nickname? If yes then your chosen nickname: Dragon Master
Favorite Dragon type/Dragon Pokemon: Hydreigon
Reason for joining club: I really love Dragon type Pokemon! Whether it be the fact that many of them are legendaries and pseudo-legendaries, or how Dragalge's Poison type can counter Fairy sweepers, they're just so unique and powerful!
Answer to any one of the current topics: See below

4. Your favorite Dragon type move? It's got to be Draco Meteor for me. It's such a powerful Dragon type move that it decreases in power every time you use it. It's also ingenius in how you can rain tons of meteors down on the opponent and still call it a Dragon move. I also really like how it's usually a Move-Tutor exclusive move, which makes it fun to teach to one of your Dragon type Pokemon you've bonded well with.
