Best answer

Mamoswine wrecks havoc. Nothing can deal with it.

Mono-Dragon is more complicated than you can think.
You'll need something that might stand the road, and also you'll need a lot of work here and there.

  1. First off, Latios and Garchomp are banned together.
  2. No neutrality to Ice
  3. Too much offensiveness. Water mono-teams wreck you, especially where Azumarill is.
  4. Mega Latios would anyway be banned.
  5. I hope Alpha Kyogre or Mega-Kyogre or whatever the hell will they name it, will be Dragon. And Groudon too.

First: Latios or Garchomp?

The answer is plain: None, or Garchomp if truly necessary.
Kyurem or Kyurem-B are vital members you should try to splash in.

Good sets for either:

@ Leftovers:
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 52 HP / 216 SAtk / 236 Speed
Modest Nature

  • Substitute
  • Roost
  • Ice Beam / Earth Power
  • Dragon Pulse

Dual STAB or better coverage is up to you for the choice between Ice Beam and Earth Power.

@ Life Orb:
Trait: Teravolt
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Speed / 4 Atk
Hasty Nature

  • Ice Beam
  • Draco Meteor / Earth Power
  • Dragon Claw / Outrage
  • Hidden Power {FIRE} / Earth Power

If you really hate Kyurem, Kingdra is neutral to Ice as well and abuse Rain coming frequently from Mono-Water teams. Thus you can keep Garchomp or Latios.

@ Haban Berry:
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Speed / 4 Atk
Hasty Nature

  • Dragon Dance
  • Waterfall
  • Draco Meteor
  • Hidden Power {FIGHTING} / {FIRE}

Dragon Dance isn't useless, it boosts Speed as much as Attack.

Then, something defensive.

Druddigon or Shelgon are your only viable fits in this category and they are vital. I prefer Druddigon because Sucker Punch destroys Lati-Twins from Mono-Psychic or opposing Mono-Dragons.

@ Eviolite:
Trait: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk
Impish Nature

  • Dragon Tail
  • Wish
  • Toxic
  • Protect

It shuffles around your opponent's team. Stealth Rock Garchomp helps a lot.
Or, Latios and Druddigon pair up well together.

@ Leftovers:
Trait: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Speed
Adamant Nature

  • Dragon Tail
  • Stealth Rock
  • Sucker Punch
  • Glare

4 Speed speed creeps other Druddigons, and you paralysis them before they do. Sucker Punch is amazing against Mono-Psychic and Ghosts to an extend, and Dragon Tail shuffles the foe's team. Stealth Rock is vital facing Mono-Ice. Kingdra is awesome against Mamoswine.

Let's see how can we splash the changes to your team:

First: The one I'd pick


Or, the one I'd not pick


There is a lot of possibilities.

In the first team:

(bolded choice go together)
Latios: Choice Scarf Trick
Druddigon: Support
Kingdra: Specially based Mixed sweeper
Goodra: Assault Vest tank (Sludge Bomb> Thunderbolt)
Dragalge: Choice Specs abuse / Stall
Noivern: Choice Specs / Life Orb

In the second team:

Kyurem: SubRoost
Shelgon: Support
Tyrantrum: Your set
Flygon: Your set
Goodra: Assault Vest tank (Sludge Bomb > Thunderbolt)
Noivern: Choice Scarf

Hell, that's long. Sorry.

I hope this helped!

~ Sincerely yours, Blitz.
