The monsters listed on this page are the most popular/notable examples, but there are many others. Be resourceful and flexible with your own team based on the monsters you have. See individual Monster Guides for more details.
Dragons are, of course, prolific in the game Puzzle & Dragons, but most of them don't make a very good team due to the lack of useful Active Skills. GungHo is starting to amend this with more variety in farmable Dragons, so keep an eye out for any that may help your team. Red (Fire) is currently the strongest Dragon team color, followed by Green (Wood) and Dark.
Dragons usually have high HP and decent ATK in exchange for low RCV, though there are exceptions. Due to their high Team Cost and relative difficulty in getting good subs, Dragon teams are not highly recommended for inexperienced players.
Popular Leaders[]
| Monster | Leader Skill | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Early/mid-game | ||

2.5x/3x ATK for Dragons | The classic Dragon team leader, easily farmed and skilled up from his survey dungeon, or Legendary Dragons' Footprints/Sky Dragons' Domain. |
|
2.5x ATK and 2.5x RCV for Dragons | Not as popular as her sister  , but still strong enough if you have nothing else. Team Cost makes her tough for a new player.

|
3.5x ATK for Dragons when HP above 50% | Possibly the strongest Dragon team leader, but inconvenient for new players due to his massive Team Cost. |

1.5x HP and 3x ATK for Dragons | A very good Leader Skill, but his unfitting colors keep him from being more popular. |
| Late-game | ||
|
3x ATK and 1.35x RCV for Dragons | By the time you can evolve this guy, you may not care about running a Dragon team. Partners well with  .

2.5x ATK for Fire and Dragon types; reduce Light & Dark damage by 50% | Tremendously popular due to her usefulness on numerous Fire teams, but extremely hard to evolve. |
  
|
4x ATK for Dragons when HP is full | Very strong farming leader, but it's tough to find friends also running him. Excellent array of Awoken Skills when ultimate evolved. |
|
1.25x HP and 3.5x ATK for Dragons | Another strong leader for a Dark-centric team. His other forms are similarly strong, but are short on useful Awoken Skills. |
Popular Subs[]

|
|
Enhance Wood and Dark Orbs | Quite easy to farm, and fits perfectly on  's team. Look out for high Team Cost.

|
|
Reduce enemy defense to 25% for 1 turn; change Water Orbs to Fire Orbs and Heart Orbs to Dark Orbs | Three Two-Pronged Attacks and a sky-high ATK make for one intimidating Dragon. Of course, his evolution requirements are extremely difficult.

Change Wood Orbs to Fire Orbs, and Dark Orbs to Heart Orbs | Orb changing, and 3 Skill Boosts!
