PTCGP Dragon Pokemon Deck Strategy
Powerful but Requires Difficult Set Up
A common theme for Dragon-type cards is that they can deal a lot of damage but need specific set-ups. There are currently only 6 cards of this type.
All of these Dragon pokemon cause a lot of damage through attacks or abilities, but are difficult to set up for attacks, since they need energies from different energy types.
