The Pokeddexy challenge: My favourite Dragon Type?

In Pokémon Red and Blue, there was but one humble Dragon type, the famous Dragonite. In Gold and Silver, only one newcomer was introduced to the party, Kingdra. However, after Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the Dragon type would no longer be an exclusive club. The Dragon type exploded with a lot of newcomers, a lot of them being legendaries. So in light of this, which is my favourite Dragon type?

With the way it's built, she is one of the best defensive Pokémon in the meta-game. According to Smogon's tiering system (I play Smogon), she is one of the most over-used Pokémon in the game, and with her sorta signature item (she shares it with her brother), she is a forced to be reckoned with in the Uber's tier. I am speaking of none other that the legendary Latias. In my team she is my specially defensive wall. With access to both Recover and Roost she can heal up in an instant, restoring 50% of her maximum health. With Healing Wish she'll sacrifice herself, but completely heal the next Pokémon you switched in PLUS alleviate their status. With her 80 HP/90 Def./130 Sp. Def spread, she has great bulk, and with attacking stats of 80 Atk/110 Sp. Atk/110 Speed, she can reasonably go one the offensive using her Special Attack. She looks nice too and her shiny is amazing. All of these reasons combined make her my favourite Dragon type.
