Dragon-type Pokemon Coloring Pages

Welcome to our Dragon-type Pokémon coloring pages!

Dragon Pokémon embody the strength of myths and legends, often appearing as mighty serpents, winged beasts, or mystical guardians. Their elegant designs make them especially fun to color, from shimmering scales to fiery breath.

Dragon-types are strong against other Dragon-types, but they are weak to Ice-, Dragon-, and Fairy-type moves (Fairy came later, in Gen VI). They resist Fire, Water, Grass, and Electric moves, making them resilient against many common opponents. Some Dragon Pokémon have abilities like Levitate, which can remove a Ground weakness, or powerful signature moves like Outrage and Dragon Claw.

Charizard: Not a dragon type but looks like one!

In Generation 1, the Dragon type was extremely powerful, with few weaknesses and powerful moves. Giving Charizard the Dragon typing would have unbalanced it against the other starters.

#006 Charizard
(fire/flying)

Charizard is not a Dragon-type Pokémon; its official typing is Fire/Flying.

While Charizard has a dragon-like appearance and learns dragon-themed moves, its Fire/Flying type was kept to balance gameplay in the early generations of Pokémon.

Dragon-type Pokémon are among the most elusive and powerful in the Pokémon world. Nineteen legendary Pokémon are Dragon-type, and eight others have pseudo-legendary stats, making them especially strong and rare.

They can be difficult to train because they require more experience points per level than most non-legendary Pokémon, and their late evolutions mean they spend longer in weaker forms. Many final-evolution Dragon-types also have a 4× weakness to Ice-type moves, making strategic play important.

In Generations 1–3, all Dragon-type moves were categorized as Special.

Soul Dew boosts Psychic- and Dragon-type moves by 20% when held by Latias or Latios.
Holding an Adamant Orb, Lustrous Orb, or Griseous Orb increases Dragon-type move power by 20% for Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina, respectively.

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
Mythology: From Greek gods to Aztec legends, I’m fascinated by the stories that have shaped cultures.
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the coloring pages are largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy coloring!
