Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have been out for a few weeks now and gamers are searching across Paldea trying to complete that Pokedex. With 400 Pokemon to collect in the games, it is a real task to make sure to get all of them.
Dragon-type Pokemon are some of the strongest and sought-after among the seventeen types, especially as pseudo-legendaries are often this type. In Scarlet & Violet, there are 33 of them to collect, and they are found all across Paldea. Get the Pokeballs ready, because here are the best locations to find Dragon-type Pokemon.
10 South Province Area Six
This area of Paldea is home to a whopping 11 different Dragon-types in the game:
- Gible and its evolution Gabite
- Goomy
- Altaria
- Shelgon (Violet only)
- Dreepy and its evolution Drakloak (Violet only)
- Dragalge (Scarlet only)
- Dratini
- Deino and its evolution Zwelious (Scarlet only)
This cavernous biome is littered with Dragon-types, but gamers will need both versions of the game to completely catch them all. Pokemon Home is another option that can be used to transfer older Pokemon to this game. South Province Area Six is a must-visit location for Dragon-types and most of them are fairly easy to find.
9 Glaseado Mountain
As always, Glaseado Mountain is a great place to go to search for all different types of Pokemon. Not only Ice-types make this area their home. Many Dragon-types are also found lurking around the cold tundra. The following can be found here:
- Gabite
- Goomy
- Altaria
- Dreepy and Drakloak (Violet)
- Dragalge (Scarlet)
- Denio and Zweilous (Scarlet)
- Frigibax
Frigibax evolves into the Arctibax at level 35, which evolves into the latest pseudo-legendary Pokemon, Baxcalibur, at level 54. Baxcalibur is a beast of Pokemon with ridiculously high stats and fantastic typing of Ice/Dragon, making it a must to pick up.
8 North Province Area One
In this area, players can find an Eelektross, which is normally an Electric-type — but this one has a tera-type of Dragon, which is certainly one for the collection. Tera-type Pokemon are the latest gimmick in the games, and they are a fantastic addition.
Also in this area are:
- Axew and its evolution Fraxure
- Goomy
- Altaria
- Noibat and its evolution Noivern
- Dratini
- Deino and Zwelious (Scarlet)
A large array of dragons fills this location. For players to complete the Pokedex and be the ultimate dragon tamer, journeying here is a must.
7 Casseroya Lake
Casseroya Lake is a water-filled region of Paldea, home to many Water-types and some other strong Pokemon that habit the surrounding lands and islands. It is the only area in Scarlet & Violet to catch certain Dragon-types.
Tatsugiri is a new Dragon/Water-type Pokemon in Generation 9. It is based on sushi and has three different forms: curly form, droopy form, and stretchy form, each with a unique color palette. Despite its small statute, it is a great battler and certainly one to collect. The other Dragon-type Pokemon only found here is Dragonair, which of course evolves into fan-favorite Dragonite.
6 North Province Area Two
Several Dragon-types make North Province Area Two their domain. This dark, dense forest is a perfect habitat for dragons to raise, and they are all fairly high leveled. Close to the Fighting crew Team Star base, the player must traverse through this area to complete the Operation Starfall objective. The following dragons can be found here:
- Gabite
- Goomy
- Noibat and Noivern
- Dratini
- Deino and Zwelious
In PokemonScarlet, Deino and Zwelious are the ones to get here. Zwelious evolves into the three-headed Dark/Dragon-type Hydreigon at level 64. With 600 base stats, it is vital for any team — just watch out for Fairy-types.
5 The Great Crater Of Paldea
Unlocked after completing the main quest, The Great Crater of Paldea is home to many powerful Pokemon, including the Paradox Pokemon. One of these is Dragon-type, the ancient ancestor to Salamence: Roaring Moon, who is exclusive to Scarlet.
With a base total stat of 590, Roaring Moon is tied with Iron Valiant as being the most powerful paradox Pokemon. Another Dark/Dragon type, this beast must be picked up and no doubt will be a great asset to any player's team.
4 South Province Area One
Dragons are prominent throughout all of Paldea and this area is no exception. Roaming this area, gamers can find:
- Gabite
- Goomy
- Dreepy and Drakloak (Violet)
- Dragalge (Scarlet)
- Deino and Zweilous (Scarlet)
Dragalge is a very useful Pokemon. Its Poison typing is a perfect counter to the Dragon-type's greatest weakness, Fairy-types. If gamers are lucky, maybe one of these Pokemon will be a shiny type. However, make sure to look carefully, as some could be hard to miss.
3 West Province Area Two
Cyclizar roams these lands. The Dragon/Normal type has a very close connection with certain other two Dragon-types found on the cover of these games. It is one only two locations where players ca find this 'mon, so make sure to catch it.
This area is Crammed full of Dragons and as well as other types. Make sure to search the seas, as Dragalge can only be acquired deep in the waters. Other Pokemon to catch include:
- Gible and Gabite
- Noibat
- Deino and Zweilous (Scarlet)
2 West Province Area Three
West Province Area Three is home to many different types of Pokemon. The main highlight is a fixed spawn of a level 50 Sliggoo, so make sure to train up before trying to take on this one.
Many other Dragon-types can be caught and battled, including Gabite, Goomy, Dreepy, and Deino, to name a few. A fixed spawn of Cyclizar is also found here at level 50.
1 East Province Area Three
East Province Area Three is a vast wasteland home to many different Pokemon. A few Dragon-types roam these lands, but nothing that has not been mentioned prior. There are no fixed spawns for Dragon-types, so this area could be one to miss out on.
However, Gabite, Goomy, Dreepy, Drakloak, Deino, and Zweilous have all been spotted in these lands. So, if gamers have not captured any of these before searching throughout East Province Area Three, it could be the place to look after searching all the previous areas.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch.
