Counted across all 530 Dragon cards on file. "Typical price" is the middle price inside that row, left as a dash where fewer than three of its cards carry a price — a median of one or two cards is not a typical price.
Bar length is measured against the highest of them, Rare Ultra rarity $62.19. A group with few cards can show a high middle price, and that figure moves a lot when one or two cards change — the card counts beside each figure say which is which.

Back to summaryHow much HP and damage Dragon Pokémon cards print
| Measure | Lowest | Lower quarter | Typical | Upper quarter | Highest | Cards counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 40 | 90 | 140 | 210 | 370 | 530 |
| Biggest attack | 10 | 50 | 90 | 150 | 330 | 512 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 530 Dragon cards that carry one. The typical card is 140 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 90 and 210 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 10.8% of the highest | 40 HP |
| Lower quarter | 24.3% of the highest | 90 HP |
| Typical | 37.8% of the highest | 140 HP |
| Upper quarter | 56.8% of the highest | 210 HP |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 370 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 512 Dragon cards that print one. The typical card hits for 90. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 50 and 150. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 3.0% of the highest | 10 damage |
| Lower quarter | 15.2% of the highest | 50 damage |
| Typical | 27.3% of the highest | 90 damage |
| Upper quarter | 45.5% of the highest | 150 damage |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 330 damage |
What are Dragon Pokémon cards weak to?
Dragon
FairyWeakness doubles the damage a card takes. In this group it lands almost entirely on one type, so a single counter answers most of it.
How the 311 cards that print a weakness are split
| Weak to | Cards | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Fairy | 72.0% | |
| Dragon | 28.0% |
Counted only on the cards that print a weakness box. Trainer and Energy cards print none and are left out rather than entered as "no weakness".
Back to summaryHow do Dragon Pokémon cards evolve?
The 4 cards above are different Pokémon. One card stands in for each printed stage so the order is visible — it is not the evolution of a single Pokémon.
- The printed stage climbs Basic → Stage 1 → Stage 2 → BREAK inside this group.
- 289 of the 499 cards that print a stage are Basic — they go down straight from the hand with nothing underneath.
- Across the cards drawn on this page HP runs from 70 to 370, and the later stages sit at the top of that range.
| Stage | Cards | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 57.9% | |
| Stage 1 | 24.6% | |
| Stage 2 | 17.0% | |
| BREAK | 0.4% |
Basic cards are played straight from the hand; the later stages have to evolve from the card before them. Trainer and Energy cards print no stage and are left out of this count.

| Legal in Expanded today | 530 | 100.0% |
| Cards with an Ability | 118 | 22.3% |
| Cards with a special rule | 216 | 40.8% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 530 Dragon cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 30.2% | 160 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 100.0% | 530 cards |
| Cards with an Ability | 22.3% | 118 cards |

Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.
These six together cost $1.01, against $3,157.93 for the single dearest Dragon card. The two ends of the same group sit 22,557× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Dragon".
How Dragon compares with the other types
"Which type is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Dragon is number 3 of 11 types, on Team Up #170 at $3,157.93. By card count it is number 10, and by the price of an ordinary card number 3 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
All 11 types by the price of an ordinary card. Track length is that price against Lightning, the dearest at $3.75.
These are the types that sit next to Dragon on that ladder.
Lightning — 1,520 cardsMostly weak to Fightingtypical $3.75

Water — 2,435 cardsMostly weak to Lightningtypical $3.15How many Dragon Pokémon cards are there, and how big is the type?
Every card that prints a type symbol falls into one of these 11 groups.
Size is the first thing people mean by "big", so it gets its own ranking here.
Counted by how many cards exist, Dragon is number 10 of 11 types with 530. By the price of an ordinary card it is number 3 — size and price are two different questions, and this page keeps them apart.
The 12 dearest of the 530 cards in this group, read on 2026-08-14. The symbol beside each card is the type it prints.
Every figure here is the same count read three ways. The needle on each track is the baseline that row compares against, so a bar that stops short of the needle is a group smaller than that baseline.
Which Pokémon have the most Dragon cards
Each one opens that Pokémon's own page, which answers for every printing of it rather than only the Dragon ones.

The middle column counts only the cards that print the type symbol; the right column is that Pokémon's full count across every type. A Pokémon appears here once it has at least 24 cards in this group.

Before you rely on these figures
Note: Prices on this page are asking and market prices for ungraded English Dragon cards, taken from a daily snapshot of public marketplace listings read on August 14, 2026. They are not offers, they exclude shipping, duty and marketplace fees, and they move. Counts cover only the English cards this site holds on file. Graded prices, population counts, sealed product values and pack odds are not published on this site because no free commercial source provides them.
