Best Answer

Because Dragon types are only hurt by Ice type moves and other Dragon type moves. If only Ice type moves hurt them, they would be too strong. In Pokemon X & Y, the new Fairy type also hurts them due to Dragon types being too over-used in the meta game and competitive battling.

The moves that are super-effective against Dragon types are:

DragonBreath, Outrage, Twister (Generation II), Dragon Claw (Generation III), Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rush, Roar of Time, Special Rend(Generation IV), Dragon Tail, and Dual Chop (Generation V). Only the first four moves are fairly common, so Ice type moves are still the most vulnerable to Dragon type Pokemon.

There were no Dragon moves in Generation I (Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow) besides the fixed-damage, non-super effective Dragon Rage.
