Hello everyone. It’s your friendly neighborhood Daigo again with another addition to the “Focus On” series. Even though Ozymandis has dominated almost every type and what new Generation V Pokemon goes with it, we still have a few types left. Today, I’m going to discuss the new Dragon type Pokemon introduced in Generation V with you all.

[spoiler]
Up next is the only other pure Dragon type from Generation V, #621 Crimgan, the Cave Pokemon. Appearance wise, its okay at best. I mean don’t get me wrong, I like the fact that he’s blue, but he’s just kind of bland in my honest opinion, he just needs a bit more life in him. Now let’s look at his stats. Like Ononokusu, Crimgan has impressive base attack, which stands at 120, but he has mediocre base speed, at 48. If you can ignore his terrible speed, Crimgan is pretty powerful. So if you can adapt to his slow speed, and use his amazing attack to its fullest potential, then he can be considered serious business.
The next Dragon type introduced in Generation V is the legendary Pokemon Reshiram, the White Yang Pokemon. Now just getting this out there now, I like Zekrom over Reshiram. Reshiram reminds me of Falcor from The Neverending Story, and that creature is rather scary looking. BUT onto its stats. Reshiram is more of a Special Attack oriented Pokemon, with 150 base Special Attack, and a really good state spread for the rest of its stats. Its signature attack, Blue Fire will mess stuff up with 130 power, and with a fairly decent accuracy. All in all, Reshiram will be interesting to see in competitive play, but it’s not my favorite of the Dragon legendary group.
The next Dragon Pokemon introduced is my personal favorite, Zekrom, the Black Yin Pokemon. In terms of design, I was excited when I saw Zekrom, because it seemed to me a much more mature Pokemon, and reminded me a lot of Bahamut from the Final Fantasy series. In terms of stats, Zekrom is like the physical counterpart to Reshiram with 150 base attack. This works great for Zekrom, since he learns a plethora of Electric type attacks, two of which are his signature moves Cross Thunder, and Lightning Strike, both of which are physical moves. To quote Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 4, Zekrom is “The lightning the rain transformed.” And with this transformed rain, comes a devastating Pokemon who will be interesting to watch in competitive play.
Finally, we have the last Dragon type Pokemon introduced in Generation V, Kyuremu, the Boundary Pokemon. In terms of design, this guy seems pretty chill. (No pun intended.) He is very balanced offensively, with 130 base Attack and Special Attack, and pretty good stats all across the board, just minus its speed, which is rather slow. Unlike Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyuremu doesn’t learn its signature move at level 100, it instead learns it at level 50. Frozen World is an alright attack, it has okay power, and will get stab from Kyuremu being part Ice type, and the only other perk I see from it is that it lowers the Speed of its opponent each time it’s used. All in all, Kyremu is a pretty cool Pokemon, along with Reshiram and Zekrom it’ll be interesting to see what it can do in the competitive arena.
Pokemon with a secondary Dragon-type:
Well, that’s it everyone, those are the Dragon Pokemon introduced in Generation V. I hope you enjoyed my opinion on them and I can’t wait to see how all of them are going to be used.

Until next time,
-Daigo
i had some teeth pulled out and the only thing you can eat is soft food, so looks like no halloween for daigo. so LOTS of milkshakes for daigo.
ps. how big is your porn collection ozy?
pps. spending yesterday in pants ozy will make u a target for dacking
ppps. RIP SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS VOICE ACTOR=50% confirmed
pppps. ozy, follow syfy, as that will also spam up your wall.
ppppps. I WANT KYUREM ALT FORME
There are many things wrong with you aren’t there…
I refer Zekrom over Reshiram. They both look nice and majestic and all that, but i don’t like pokemon with arm attach to its wing. Beside, Zekrom’s cry sound cool, and he look so strong that could KO any pokemon. I think he is Palkia rival, because Palkia is Dragon-Water(still don’t get why) and Zekrom is Dragon-Electric. Also Celebi and Victini are rival,too. Sorry for the long comment. :p
I like the Dragon-types in this Gen. Kibago is cute, and Onondo and Ononokusu look awesome. I love Crimgon, but I don’t like the way it’s animated. Crimgon is too cool looking to be marching in place.
The animated sprites for Onondo and Onnonokusu are a little staticy.
I’ve noticed that the sprites move at different speeds depending on the browser. 😛
So it could just be your browser. xP
Gobitto and Goruugu are based off Golems, so they’re people made of earth and brought to life, hence the typing. Design wise, they’re based on the giant robots of anime and special effect shows in Japan, just as Kirikizan is based on the Kamen Rider style heroes.
? Are you replying to my comment way above?
I guess I got lucky when I had my wisdom teeth removed; I was out of school for three days, but honestly, the post-op was so painless and easy for me I probably could have gone back the second day. Sorry, Daigo. =/
Anyway, so glad you’re doing this. So much better than Ozy’s and NL’s.
I know right?
Daigo > ozy. 🙂
it is more like this
(ozy=daigo)- (nl-johnny) + (pj+boarbeque)= pokejungle.net
ps. this equation is relevant if you include boarbeque, who you argued with ozy
pps. pants yesterday, cosplay in yugioh, a game you have never played, are you bonkers?
Dudee i used to play Yu-gi-oh back when it used to be the shizz nit. 😛
I dont get it. This was shit.
There was no realo entertainment. Just borin ol Diago.
@Ai, Tim beat me to it, but I was just going to say that Kyurem is weak to stealth rock, too. It has a nice stat distribution, but it’s weaknesses kill it. By the way, isn’t ubers a ban list for OU? Just like BL for UU?
Oh, and to some off you: take off your nostalgia goggles. These designs are not worse or better than gen 1, they’re just designs. You don’t like one
I knew he was weak to Stealth Rock, I just forgot about giving him Rapid Spin support.
Sorry, I commented too fast and didn’t pay attention to the second part of your reply.
Uber is actually a competitive tier, but yes, you could say it’s a ban-list for OU just as BL is for UU. Kyurem, I know this, isn’t a great legend (why everyone was so thrilled when we got an ice/dragon still confuses me… it lost it’s weakness to ice and gained three other weaknesses, awesome.) but I still think it’s FAR too good for OU, so to not make OU completely broken, it would need to go to Ubers as a ban-list where it would rot till the end of time or until it got an alternative form (which if it does, it’s stats will be redistributed and it’ll most likely end up being uber anyway)
If you capitalize my name up there it’s TLM. I am infact a girl, so tim is a kinda funny name… Maybe I should capitalize it?
But yeah, Stealth Rock weak and low movepool are just a few of its downfalls. If it ever got banned to Ubers it would do terrible. I acknowledge it is pretty strong for OU, but not broken. It would be a shame to see it banned to a tier it fails in.
*stupid iPod…*
then don’t use it. You don’t have to. They’re over 600 designs, use the ones you like. Only problem is if you don’t like any gen V ones…
On topic:
I really like Ononokuso, it’s movepool is a shame. I wanted Reshiram over Zekrom, although I like Zekrom better. I’m just to much of a fire type fanboy. The version exclusives makes me go with White, though.
i m also fire lover
but torchic makes me feel embarrased
Ok.
Basically, it was absolutely boring. You give a quick say about the pokemon like the Kibago being cute, then you just shift into the stats with no smooth transition like Ozy does with his opinions mixed in there which holds his articles together like glue.
Yours are just lose strands, and have been pieced together horribly. Like common, Reshiram, you just said you liked Zekrom more and referenced it to some white dragon, then boringly drabled on about it’s stats. I swear, I didn’t wanna read the rest of the article, as I didn’t think it would be worth it, and it wasn’t.
So, I honestly think you should just stop making the Focus on’s, and leave it to Ozy and Pokejungle (I don’t think PokeJungle has done one, so I haven’t seen how he writes it).
If not, I plead that Ozy also does a cover of the same article you do, so I can read his, knowing I won’t be bored out of my mind.
Oh, and don’t go on about losing a wisdom tooth, since I don’t even care, and you shouldn’t have wrote it if you thought it would bring down the ability of writing one of these articles. That’s just careless.
So just leave it to Ozy, he’s better at making his articles nice to read, without wasting peoples time. I wish he wrote this article :/….
Stardust out..
Umm, it’s an article about a type of pokemon dude… give Daigo a break about it being boring. It’s an article, usually articles are boring. “Oh, and don’t go on about losing a wisdom tooth, since I don’t even care, and you shouldn’t have wrote it if you thought it would bring down the ability of writing one of these articles. That’s just careless.”
At least Daigo is actually dedicated enough to post one of these things up while in tremendous pain so we don’t have to wait days for it.
I’m sorry, I used to think that the Pokejungle community was actually made up of nice people, but I guess that was only nerdy pre-release energy coming from everybody that made it seem that way. I’m sorry, but please don’t be a total douchebag as the Pokejungle staff, NL, Daigo, Ozy, PJ, etc. have at least been working very hard in bringing you this shit for you to only complain about it. Yes, Daigo could check up on his grammar a bit, provide smooth transitions, etc. but at least he’s actually taking time out of his schedule to do this for you, ignoring his wisdom teeth pain (which you’ve obviously never felt before, as it feels like your getting stabbed in the mouth by eight different knives), and typing this up.
So, all in all, now that I’m done ranting, a big round of applause to Daigo and the rest of the Pokejungle Staff for doing this for us, although they certainly didn’t have to. Thank you very much as I am very grateful.
This would go into the comment hall of fame if we had one. 😀
Lol ^^
Ouch dude, your faults with this article is that it doesent have ozy’s often biased opinion. IMO this was a good, simple read and though it would have been nice to see some mention to ingame relevancy and zekroms actual stats I felt this was a good addition to the site.
His Actual stats? Last time I checked, his Base Attack wasn’t 111.08, but 150.
Geez, someone is a bit butthurt here…
CJ was just pointing out that was Daigo’s biggest mistake, you don’t need to correct him when he did nothing wrong.
Ozy was better, yes, but he has done a lot more focus on’s. I bet Daigo would include ingame usefulness if he knew we liked it that much.
Oh, and don’t rant about his wisdom teeth being irrelevant. They’re is pressure on him to deliver a article in time. Dumbasses send e-mails and yell at PJ if a article takes over 1 day to make. Daigo is not careless. In fact, he cares so much for us that he makes an article while in pain.
“In fact, he cares so much for us that he makes an article while in pain.”
Thank you, I’m glad someone’s smart enough to realize that.
This guy speaks the truth. 🙂
Only reason mine seem so “good” is because I’ve had over 10 tries to do them, and I learn from each one of them for what you guys want and like from the articles.
I remember everybody hated my first few articles..
rightly said
Very true. All Daigo needs is experience and possibly no effects of painkillers etc. Pretty good to do an article like this in pain, the commitment is commendable. 🙂
Not to be entirely rude, but many of us (myself included) still hate your articles….
wen d next 1 is going 2 come
Nice work easy read and great observations. I’ve never used a dragon type pokemon on my team, but for the first time I’m going to use one. I have three reasons. one is the fact that most dragons are late in the game. The second reason is because I’ve always felt that I was cheating when ever I used a dragon type, and the third is because dragons have slow experience points growth.
ps: @pokejungle team. Let the mindless gumba lacky trolls keep stalking and the haters keep hating. Keep up the good work peace, oh yhea happy holloween. 🙂
I wanna….l-l-l-lick Daigo from his head to his toes and I wanna…well…g’night. 😉
Why lick the Mexican ami?
Yay, people like me 🙂
@Tlm, I’m very sorry, my iPod actually displays a dot above the L.
@Ai, we’ll see how pre-smogon limbo turns out. I just don’t he’ll be good enough for uber. Chance is we’ll see Kyerem overcentralizing OU with scarfed meteors like Latias did. Sazandora fits that position better, though.
By the way, scarfed Kyurem locked into dragon pulse is scizor (or agility metagross) bait, we don’t want that do we?
Oh, thank God. Smart people are writing these again. <3
i can only see the last three
