HAH! Jumping straight into the deep end I see. Don’t you think you’d be better off with an easier type to master, like Grass? No? Well then you better bring your A-game, because becoming a Dragon Pokémon master is not for the faint of heart! The difficulty with Dragon Pokémon, of course, is accommodating for their challenging and often contradicting Energy requirements. Classic Dragon stuff, right? Thankfully, Dragon has all the support it needs to be a top contender in Gym Leader Challenge, and is only improving as its card pool grows.
Support Pokémon
Strike fear into the hearts of anyone who opposes your Dragon Deck with… Tatsugiri? That’s right! This little sushi fish attracts valuable customers, or Supporter Cards, to get things moving as quickly as possible. Gabite (Dragon’s Exalted) and Dragonair (Ascended Heroes) may have been printed 14 years apart, but their Dragon Call and Evolutionary Guidance Abilities work flawlessly together to search out any Dragon you need for battle. Drakloak’s Recon Directive Ability helps to churn through the deck while both Dragonite (Team Up) and Dragonite (151) each offer a unique and valuable asset to your dragon horde!
Attackers
There are many incredible Dragons that attack for two different Energy. The question is, which one will you power up with your Double Dragon Energy? Double Dragon Energy and Crispin are both great assets for Dragon Lovers. Double Dragon Energy provides two “Rainbow Energies” while attached to a Dragon Pokémon while Crispin lets you attach two different Energies during your turn! The more that the Gym Leader Challenge card pool grows, the more options Dragon tamers get to power up their awesome Dragon Pokémon!
