10 Dual Chop (Physical) 💎

Even one of the bottom-tier Dragon-type moves packs a strong punch to warrant learning. With the rare guaranteed effect to hit the foe twice, it's a vital move to use in super-effective situations while battling. The 40 power rating might not jump off the page at you, but the stellar hit rate of 90 percent and the ability to pound the foe twice in one turn make it a great early game move. The problem with Dual Chop lies in the fact that only a handful of Pokemon throughout the Sinnoh learn the move.
9 Dr🔯agon Breath (Special)
A classic move that's been around since the games of Generation 1, Dragon Breath has the user Pokemon exhale a spit-fire type breath that deals a mildly effective amount of damage. With a modest 60 power rating, and 100 percent accuracy for the fiery breath, the most appealing aspect of the move is its 30 percent rate at leaving the foe with paralysis. Learned by a range of different Pokemon types, it's a versatile move thats damage and potential status effect make it worth learning.
8 ൩ 👍 Dragon Rush (Physical)
In each Pokemon game, legendary species typically posses strong move-sets right from the get-go, and the psychic-flying type Lugia follows this trend. When the main story concludes you can catch it at level 70, and after leveling the beast up once, Lugia becomes one of the select few in the♋ Sinnoh region to learn the rare Dragon Rush move.
With an👍 alarming power rating of 100, the user blasts the target with speedy Dragon fꦿlair, bolstering a 30 percent chance at making the foe flinch. The questionable hit rate of 75 percent however holds it back from being amongst the types best moves.
7 🦋 TM0🍎2 Dragon Claw (Physical)
One of the first technical machines named in the region, Dragon Claw is found within the heart of the Sinnoh — on the first floor of the northern end at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mount Coronet by the Spear Pillar. Teachable to a💫 number of Pokemon with claw styled limbs, the user physically strikes💦 the foe with an eye-popping force of 80 power, and a perfect accuracy that fails to miss. With a flashy design to the move, and stats that make it usable even in the end game, Dragon Claw is well worth scooping up when passing through the mountain.
6 TM59 Dragon P🌼ulse (Special)

Another classic Dragon-type move, the technical machine of Dragon Pulse is located in the far east room of Victory Road, or available for purchase in the Battle Park after you complete the main storꦆy. Theꦫ user Pokemon breathes out dragon-type waves towards the foe, with a spectacular power rating of 85 and accuracy that will never miss. The technical machine aspect of it makes it a widely available move that is teachable to over 50 different Pokemon throughout the Sinnoh.
5 Dragon Dance (Status) ﷽
The standard in all casual battles is to attack every turn. Normally all trainers and gym leaders in Generation 8 are easy enough to avoid set-up moves, but this can change once you attempt to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tackꦍle the Elite 4꧅ and Champion, Cynthia.
Dragon Dance, which happens to be the only dragon-type status move, is arguably the best status move across all Pokemon games. The move has the Pokemon engage in a spiritual dance, drawing upon higher Dragon powers to raise both the user's attack and speed for the remainder of the battle.
4 🦄 Outrage (Physical)

With a name like Outra𒁏ge, power is obviously expected. Posseing the fourth-best power rating of any Dragon-type move at 120, Outrage sees the user Pokemon throw a temper tantrum that deals massive amounts of physical damage. Learned by leveling up a handful of different pieces, what catapults this as one of the best Dragon-type moves is the balance of power with the 100 percent hit-rate. Using Outrage forces your Pokemon to use it in 2-3 consecutive turns, with the only downside being it leaves the user confused.
3 💃 Spacial Rend (Special)
It's only right that the cover Pokemon of Shining Pearl posseses one of the strongest Dragon-type moves in the region. Palkia's special move has the Water/Dragon legendary lift the target up and drags the foe throughout space, dealing damage by the second. With a booming 100 power rating and minuscule miss rate of 5 percent, its best feature lies in its boosted critical hit rate of 12.5 percent. While taking the crown for one of the coolest moves, its stats back it up as one of the most effective the type has to offer.
2 Draco Meteor (Special) ꧑
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:best non-legendary specific Dragon-type move throughout Generation 8, Draco Meteor is strictly taught by one of the Move Tutors, located in a small house off of Route 210. The ultra-powerful move has the user Pokemon rain down comets onto the foe from the sky above with nearly perfect accuracy at 90 percent. It truly would have a chance to top the list, however, after being used in battle the user's special attack rate is significantly lowered. The good news is that if you have a super-effective matchup this move will usually get it done in one hit.
1 𝄹 Roar O🦩f Time (Special)
.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5)
The best Dragon-type move꧙ the Sinnoh region and Generation 8 has to offer, belongs to its gatekeeper of time — Dialga. This move, restricted to the legendary blue and silver being, boasts the accolade of having the highest power rating of any special move in the game. With a power rating of a ridiculous 150 and an accuracy of 90, Dialga incomprehensibly distorts time within the battle and hurls it at its target. Following the turn after the use of the Roar of Time leaves you with a one-turn cooldown, but the 90 percent hit rate and appalling damag𝔍e are well worth the loss of a singular turn.
