Gyrados, as well all know, is actually a Water/Flying type. This was done because Dragon was not a type in the game when Gyrados was introduced.
Should this be fixed on have his type changed to what he was based on? A Chinese Water Dragon?
Isn’t the Dratini line dragon type in Gen 1? The same games that Gyarados was introduced.
Yeah and the Dratini line was the only dragon type in gen 1 and was supposed to be very powerful and psudo-legendary.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided against giving Gyarados the dragon type because of that specific lore reason as it’s never made a whole lot of sense to me that it had the flying type either. I think Gyarados would be too strong both offensively and defensively if it didn’t have the quad elec weakness which is probably why it’s the way it is. (Disclaimer: I know nothing of Pokemon beyond gen4 and feel free to disregard my opinions)
