Dragon Type Explained
Dragon resists Fire, Water, Electric and Grass, but is weak to Ice, Dragon and Fairy — which is why many final-evolution Dragon types have a 4× weakness to Ice. Dragon attacks are resisted only by Steel and do nothing to Fairy.
Against a pure Dragon Pokémon, lead with Ice, Dragon and Fairy moves and avoid Fire, Water, Electric and Grass. Against a Dragon dual type the answer changes, because the second type can cancel a weakness or stack it into a 4× hit — use the Pokémon type calculator to check any exact combination.
