Bagon

As far as offensive Dragon-types go, Bagon faces serious competition for a team slot with Dratini, who has the crucial advantage of priority. Of course, Bagon has selling points of its own. Its higher Attack stat makes Bagon more effective than Dratini in the middle of the game. This means that Bagon is a more solid choice for roles which do not involve setting up and sweeping. For example, when using a Choice Scarf, Bagon becomes a solid sweeper late-game. Unfortunately, Bagon's lack of priority means it will be easily revenge killed, and this is why so often it is Dratini who is lauded as Little Cup's best Dragon.
