Other viable countersWhile Dragons deal super-effective damage, they'll also take increased damage. Dragonite and Salamence are the best Dragon-types, and Flygon can be used as a back-up.

As far as raw damage goes, Mewtwo is a great generalist. Rhydon can also deal great damage, especially with Stone Edge. |
