Alright so I’m going to give an extremely wierd answer. Maybe c:Anyway there is no’most effective’dragon - each dragon is better in one area than another. For example, in the case of Salamence and Dragonite - Salamence has better offensive capabilities., so it’s able to hit harder and faster from the start, but Dragonite’s better bulk and access to Multiscale allow it to have a better chance of gathering boosts which allow it to sweep. You can even compare legendaries with non-legendaries - for example in the Uber tier, Palkia VS Kingdra. Palkia has higher offensive capabilities and a better movepool, but Kingdra’s access to Swift Swim allow it to become well… quite overly powered, even with lower offenses.Anyway here are some of the most notable;Arceus-Dragon.Highest base stats out of all dragon types, so technically it would be ‘the most effective’. All round 120 stats allow it to function in either offensive roles.Kyurem-B/Kyurem-W- boasting the strongest Outrage and Draco Meteor respectively, both of these are powerhousesKingdra- while being outclassed in terms of stats, it’s ability, Swift Swim, allows it to be played as a revenge killer even against the most powerful of dragons, including scarfed ones.Any dragon that is fully evolved and is not called Altaria, Druddigon or Flygon. Those 3 are still good and all, but more for the lower tiers so yeah. All the others have their own unique qualities that gives it the potential to beat another.

I would say haxorus because the Pokemon is based on its speed and attack.

I assume you are not talking about legendary dragon types so I will talk about non-legendarys.

Salemenceis a good option because it has a high Sp. Attack.

Garchomphas a decent speed and a large movepool.

Dragonitehas large defences and can improve it’s Attack and Speed with Dragon Dance.

Kingdrahas only one weakness: dragon moves and can also use Dragon Dance. It has a small movepool so that makes it less effective. You could try to use Rain Dance to activate it’s ability: Swift Swim which boosts it’s speed.

But if you wanted to fight a dragon type, wouldn’t ice be a better option?
