>>50861046Noivern is a good dragon type but I wouldn’t call it ‘the embodiment’ of the type nor even call it close.
To me that’s be a Pokémon that looks fearsome, has high offensive power, destructive capabilities and has all the traditional “dragon” qualities that should be expected of the type (has wings, can fly, breathe fire, powerful roar, etc).
While It’s far from my favorite, personally, I’d say that the quintessential dragon type is probably Salamence. Even if one thinks the wings are a little silly, they still fit the design and don’t hinder how cool it looks. It helps that it has intimidate, so people in-universe certainly find it, well, intimidating. Helps that he’s frequently used as the ace of dragon type trainers.
If not him, then runners-up would be Garchomp (an odd concept for a dragon and lacks traditional wings but has everything else), Fug (he’s Fug), Hydreigon (probably the best ‘evil’ dragon design in the series), and Haxorus (similar reasons to Chomp but he can’t fly).
Personal favorite dragon is Kommo-o, but as much of a Chad that Clanger is I don’t think he’s “the” dragon type. He’s just a really fucking cool one.
