What Dragon Type Pokemon should I add to my team?

Question

I'm currently playing Pokemon Diamond and I want to add a Dragon Type to my team before I challange the Elite Four, but I'm not sure which one to get. (Btw, I have a Rapidash so it doesn't matter if it has 4x Ice Type weakness)

You should probably keep in mind that Garchomp is the only dragon Pokemon you can get.

Answer 1

Garchomp

Nature: Adamant
Ability: Rough Skin
Held Item: Leftovers
Moveset:
1. Earthquake
2. Crunch
3. Outrage
4. Dragons Dance

having two attack moves the same type is useless. I would replace dragon claw with brick break.

Answer 2

Garchomp.

Garchomp@Life Orb/Sand Veil

Earthquake-STAB
Dragon Claw-STABL
Dragon Dance-Set Up
Outrage-STAB

Giga Drain

He said before the elite 4, you can only get flygon after you beat the elite 4.

Answer 4

You could go for Flygon:

• Draco Meteor
• Earth Power/Earthquake
• Fire Blast
• SolarBeam

That moveset might be a bit hard to manage to get so here's maybe a more manageable one:

• Earthquake
• Dragon Claw
• U-Turn
• Stone Edge

You could also go for Altaria:

• Air Cutter/Toxic
• Dragon Pulse
• Flamethrower
• Roost

And finally we have Garchomp:

• Earthquake
• Stone Edge
• Outrage
• Sword Dance\Sandstorm

OR

• Outrage
• Stone Edge
• Earthquake
• Fire Fang

There's a lot of stuff you could do with Garchomp, oh and my personal recommendation is Garchomp, just sayin, gen IV 4 the win.

Hope I helped!
