After about a week of spending time on it, finished my dragon mono finally.
Bar Drampa, that's every Dragon type remotely obtainable in the game all grinded up to about level 80 with items and sets, though after seeing my Drampa's horrid IVS I gave up on it. Couldn't be arsed to spend another 3 hours or whatever searching for one like I did. Here's some thoughts, though in a bit of a rambling form.
MVP of the run was absolutely Flygon. God tier typing, god tier hax. Flinch basically every rock slide into a win.
LVP probably Noivern lol. Only kept it around for Tailwind.
This run made me gain a lot of respect for Altaria in particular, it's bulk is pretty dang nice, as well as Sing for some yung status.
Kingdra was another Pokemon that exceeded my expectations, from the moment it got on the team, it put in the finest of work. Gotta love Swift Swim.
Don't make Deino your starter, -ever.- 59 levels of utter torture. Hydreigon was fantastic though, absolutely amazing.
In terms of difficulty the bosses go like;
Titania > Shelly > Shade > Blake > Serra.
Shelly and Shade are practically impossible for a Dragon mono to beat without more than 1 added Pokemon. Titania's Scizor is the literal devil. Blake/Serra are just pains in the asses, but compared to the top 3, are tolerable. Flygon especially sends Serra to hell.

At the time I obtained Kingdra, the team was being carried by Flygon/Hydreigon and Haxorus. Noivern's damage output was very low and it was extremely frail, Dragalge had the bulk and power, but was often just too slow.
Comparatively, Kingdra had the speed, the bulk and the power, as well as the ability and space to go mixed making it damn hard to wall. I know Kingdra is good, but I didn't expect for it to excel nearly as much as it ended up doing. It + Hydreigon were like the only reasons Blake was even possible to beat, thanks Mamoswine >_>. So yeah, more so surprised/impressed by just -how- good it was rather than surprised at it being good. I mean, it's fucking Kingdra.
Adrienn was surprisingly easy because of the amount of preparation I did. Even when I was severely underleveled, it took about 3 attempts for me to get a winning run cuz crucial Iron Tail misses were kept to a minimum.
