Best types to use against Dragon/Dark

To beat a Dragon/Dark Pokémon, use Fairy moves: it deals 4× damage. Ice, Fighting, Bug and Dragon moves also hit for 2×. Do not waste turns on Psychic (0×), Fire (½×), Water (½×), Electric (½×) and Grass (½×).

Dragon/Dark and Dark/Dragon are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Dark/Dragon search lands on this page too.

Going the other way, Dragon and Dark moves between them hit Psychic, Ghost and Dragon super effectively, but Fairy takes reduced or no damage from both.

5 Pokémon have the Dragon/Dark typing, first appearing in Generation 5 and spanning 3 generations to Generation 9.

The highest base stat total is Hydreigon with 600; the average across the group is 496.

Abilities that change Dragon/Dark matchups

Some Dragon/Dark Pokémon have an ability that overrides the type chart. These are the ones that do:

  • Levitate floats the Pokémon off the ground, so Ground moves miss (Ground 1× to 0×). Held by Hydreigon.
