Are there any Pokémon you're not allowed to use?

Assuming you ban Legendaries; Flygon is bad, replace it with Naganadel. :P

If you can use legendaries, you should probably replace everything that isn't Mega Salemence with Rayquaza, Zygarde, Kyurem-White, Dialga, Palkia, Giritina, Rashiram, Zekrom, Ultra Necrozma, and Naganadel. :P

I like this team alot because I'm a big dragon fan. I'm just not sure if it will do good since they all have similar weaknesses with a couple of uncovered 4x weaknesses. I would also say you should replace some with legendaries if you can.

Not to be offensive, but why is everyone on this site always telling people to replace their team with legendaries???

I already stated I'd like to keep these Pokémon. It's because I like them. Do you have any tips for this team?

Also Flygon isn't bad now it has Dragon Dance. It may be one of the lesser Dragon-types, but it's still faster than a lot of Pokémon while also having a pretty good attack stat.

Not all legendaries are even good. There quite a few legends that are mediocre or even straight up bad.

Second, we rate based on competitive merit. I.e, we rate teams to try to make you win more. You can use whatever Pokemon you want, but if you do that, don't expect to win as often. Our advice is for competitive metagames, expect changes that reflect this.

To Mitchel- I didn't realize you wanted to keep those exact Pokemon. Sorry about that. I was just saying that most (but not all) of the dragon type legendaries are good in some way that allows you to dominate. And Flygon is a pretty good Pokemon, there are just better options.

To PX- You may be right that not all legendaries are good, but the majority of the dragon type legendaries are way better than some of those choices due to typing and stats.

I just think it's a bit boring when everyone is using legendaries :P

Got me there :P
