This is so sick! Where did you find such a treasure?

Figure Choice. It's already sold out I'm afraid.

 

[VisionofMilotic]

The she dragon has been slumbering under a pile of treasures for several months, but was awakened by the winter winds to the spirit of benevolence, and went about sharing the beauty of dragon pokemon with the world during the Season of Wonderful Gifts of Surprise.

My offerings on Pokemon shield's Surprise trade were almost entirely psuedolegendaries, with the exception of altaria, fraxure, vibrava and noibat, but in those instances they were shiny ones or bearers of the ancient conditions pokerus, and always had good ivs, and sometimes had their hidden ability. Occasionally pokemon came bearing gifts for their new owners such as mints and ability capsules,. When I sacrifice a dragon in this cause I always send my best.

This is the box before.

There is still time to trade for this event for those who wish to but have not yet done so.


This is after.


In return I received 1 applin. Every dragon who finds their way here on wonder trade counts as a point for dragons in Gifts of Surprise, so I have something to show, even if it is but an apple. I hope I also achieved the goal of making strangers happy, which is more important one. I think so. I don't think many people would be unhappy to behold noble and legitimate creatures like these.












These are but a few that I thought looked exceptionally handsome.

 

[Hibiscus]

Hello everyone! It's been a while. I used to be known as BiohazardXIII, but I go by Hibiscus now. Reshiram is my favorite Pokemon of all time, but I love Dragon-type Pokemon in general!!

 

[CharMainor]

**What are your favorite Dragon Pokemon? You may name as many or as few pokemon as you want.
Charizard, Gyarados, Dragonite, Groudon and Reshiram.
Yes I aware while most are not Dragon Types, they are Dragon Like in a sensible way. I also include Mega Evolutions but they are paired 2ith the standard forms.
I am a FRLG Lover and RSE has its quirks that make it second to me.


**Have you ever encountered any shiny dragon pokemon?

No but I did try using PKHex Maui (A Mobile Fan Port of Beloved PKHex) to Revive (or Release another?) Roamer (Already Caught Suicune) as a Shiny Charizard copying my Charizard's IVs (Not the Best) but I forgot to set it to shiny (and it was left in the state that suicune was before I caught it which is low hp and paralyzed) so again no but I do wish to in some point in the future with modern games (because I don't own a switch yet but plan on getting NS2 tho)


**Other fictional dragons of interest?

No not really but I guess Godzilla is Kinda interesting because I'm someone from the early-ish 2000's so more retro things appeal to me more than modern day (TCG Pockets pretty fire tho)


**Some members may wish to be reborn with a glorious new dragon name. If so visit the name generator and find out your true identity.

I have 'Fire Ruby the Fury' as my dragon name. (Ironic Ain't it?)

It's time to awaken the dragon! see that new dragon riders have joined, and have recorded their names in our sacred archives. Welcome CharMainor. Or shall I say Ruby the Fury! Also welcome back long-time friends of dragons like Hibiscus, who have adopted new incarnations.

When I think of dragons I envision powerful and otherworldly beings, and while they are that, it being April Fools Day, I wanted to explore the less serious side of our favorite creatures, and would like to ask this topic question to all.

Are there any dragons that you find funny? It can be a dragon type pokemon, or a dragon from another franchise, as this club encompasses all things draconic.

I think flapple is pretty amusing. It's design is zany, and the animation makes it even better- seeing how hard it's small apple peel wings try to flap, and keep it barely up in the air. The whole idea of this pokemon line being apple dragons I found sweet and silly.

I have no Dragon Pokémon coming to mind in the funny kind, but outside of Pokémon, there is one, definitely :
Mushu, from Mulan!

 

[Firebolt]

I think Goomy is such a silly (but cute) Pokemon. I keep mistaking it and the Goomy line in general for Poison-type Pokemon.

I had some unofficial merch I ordered on etsy arrive today.... the merch in question was 2 Pokemon rings:

Spoiler:

I ordered both a Flygon and a Latias & Latios ring... and after trying them on I'm actually kinda giddy... they look amazing imo and fit well!
Here's me holding them for a better view of the full ring:

Spoiler:

And here's the rings on my finger +_+

Spoiler:

I've never worn rings before. Never really felt a need to. Found these due to honoring a random intrusive thought of ''what if there's some cool or fun looking rings?'' with a search for Pokemon rings on etsy =P





Also apparently I missed a topic =3

If we're talking funny as in funny looking I'm going with
If we're talking fun design I'm going with the infamous children yeeter
If we're talking more like fun to be with...
... looks like he'd be down to hang with me and play some videogames.
... & look like they'd be the most comfy pals to have when in need of a hug. Though I'd also hug Goodra, but I'm not sure how comfy the goo would be.

How breathtaking Rekoil! Thank you for sharing these masterpieces. I had to track down the noble Etsy shop that sold them, and am browsing their inventory as we speak. I see that the dragonair ring can be customized with your name. This is tempting...

 

[VisionofMilotic]

I enjoyed a very good nature documentary this morning about the wild gible, gabite and garchomp. See these mighty creatures in their habitats, roaming the treacherous terrain of the Lumiose badlands, excercising their immense digging skills and contending with other wildlife. I also learned about cool things gible can do that I previously didn't know about. Of note, it's hunting habits are caught on camera, so viewer distraction is advised.

 

[Nah]

Oh that's really cool! Pretty well animated, and I love how they try to replicate the stereotypical British nature documentary style, complete with the accent. Might watch some of the other videos sometime.

Greetings friends of dragons. There are many festivitals ahead of us that involve respecting the dead, warding off evil and making mischief like Halloween, Día de Muertos and Samhain. I am going to ask the dragon community a question with the holidays and their spooky themes in mind?

Topic: Are there any dragons that scare, intimidate or creep you out? They can be dragon pokemon or dragons from another franchise.

I generally see dragons as majestic in their power and beauty, sometimes they are approachable and whimsical instead, so I don't normally think of them as dark or unsettling, but the Hydreigon is the one that fits the closest.

I love Hydreigon as a pokemon, it's one of my favorite dragons to use, but whereas some dragon pokemon go around rescuing people, this is a pokemon explicitly described as violent and aggressive, literally destroying and eating whoever or whatever is in it's path, with Pokedex entries about it massacring whole towns. It's also creepy to think about it using extra heads on its limbs being to bite you. About those heads... it's evolution process looks disturbing also because it's first stage deino didn't have multiple heads, they just grow them out of nowhere without any explanation every time they evolve in this horror story fashion. What's even darker I think is that while initially the heads on the second stage zweilous seem to just be conjoined twins, two minds/personality sharing one body like the doduo line, when we see the final Hydreigon the additional heads are suggested to be more like extra appendages, or a parasitic twin, the heads are there protruding out and respond to stimuli, the mouths can bite the way a Venus fly trap can open and close it's mouth to catch prey, but it's not sentiment, the pokedex entries specifically say that the extra heads have no brains, which didn't appear to be the case before, evolving seemed to kill a living part of zweilous since now only the dominant head can think. It's kinda amazing that this stuff is in a kid game.

Hydreigon's a great pick. It's one of those designs that looks awesome until you start thinking about what it actually is.

For me, the dragon that really creeps me out is Placidusax from Elden Ring. There's something so haunting about him. This ancient dragon is just waiting in a storm that's frozen in time, headless, yet somehow still alive and aware. He's not angry or roaring in rage, he's just… waiting. It's that mix of decay, silence, and cosmic power that makes him so unsettling.

Topic: Are there any dragons that scare, intimidate or creep you out? They can be dragon pokemon or dragons from another franchise.

I think Giratina or Grima (from Fire Emblem) are very close to the idea of spookiest dragons I'd find from the franchises I know of. They both share a centipede-like design which already makes them creepy as! Giratina is the master of the Distortion World and everything from its design to its cry feels like it's an alien entity to the familiar Pokemon world. Grima can raise dead people to serve it unconditionally as Risen, and along with the malice you can see in its six eyes, has enough spooky to creep out any dragon fan!

Hydreigon does kinda fit the bill for creepy. Then there's Gyarados (not by type a dragon but by design, anyway) whose constant aggressive nature is kinda terrifying.

Outside of Pokemon I think dragons that have some undead aspect to themselves are really creepy. What comes to mind for me are the skeletal dragon from Skyrim, the undead dragon from Gothic 2, but also Duma from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
