why is it a dragon?
long neck and tail
>>27817262
actually it's 2 necks
Dragón breath lol he got that LONG NECK ;)
Why not?
I'm a huge fan of Dragons that doesn't look like a Dragon.
>>27817253
Dragon trees
>>27817253
Sailors way back when thought palm trees were long necked dragons as they approached islands.
>>27817253
dragon fruit
>>27817370
basicly this. the only way it would have been more obious was that they made the heads red
>>27817253
Because its a dragonfruit tree.
>>27817404
>inb4 shiny version has red heads.
>petrified wood
rock type
>dragonfly
dragon type
>dragonfruit tree
dragon type
GF is stupidbut the first two makes much more sense
>>27817718
>smallest head doesn't blow air or smoke
0/10
>>27817370
>>27817586
still dumb as hell
>>27817344
If this is real then that's cool of game freak. Also I believe it's supposed to be based on a Hydra slightly?
>>27817370
why does dragonfruit have to taste so awful when it looks so cool? it's a crime.
Dragons have a different significance in Japan- they usually represent leadership and power. I assume the dragon typing means that its the "king" of the forest
>>27817710
>Yanmega and Yanma
>dragon type
I wish. I think you're thinking about Antlions.
>>27817710
sudowoodo isn't petrified wood, it's a literal rock pretending to be a tree
also the dragonfly pun only works in English, they only use dragon puns in Japanese unless the name itself is the same in theirs (like the constellation stuff for Altaria)
>>27817710
Flygon is a sand dragon. Ant lions look like dragonflies when they grow to adults.
We dont know this yet but my theory is a komodo dragon pokemon lives in it or on it and therefore making it dragon type
Literally who cares
Why would you want the alola form to be the same type as the original
Like what's the point if they don't introduce something new
His head flops on the floor and he has to 'drag' it 'on' to the battlefield.
>>27817253
Dragon doesn't mean anything anymore.
>>27817952
>taste awful
My favorite part is the little seeds, like the ones in kiwi.
>>27817755
dumbass
>>27818451
Ampharos is because of a pun in the Japanese name for Electrical Current (and Ampharos's Japanese name) being Denryuu.
Ryu means dragon.
Eggs is a dragon fruit tree.
>>27819199
Where's my Steel/Dragon Mega-Excadrill
>>27817253
why im not a dragon
>>27817283
Coconut on tail isn't a head, its a just a fruit
>>27819243
Escadrill has nothing to do with dragons though.
Ampharos just Japanese wordplay and Eggsecutor is English wordplay.
>>27817253
Dragons aren't real
>>27818451
If Dragon type were limited only to Pokemon that are dragons in their purest form, there wouldn't be many Dragon types to choose from.
>>27819288
The Japanese word for mole contains the characters "Earth Dragon"
>>27817253
Maybe it ate too many round and fluffy pancakes?
>>27817253
Because it's a really big Dracaena Arborea. Dracaena means dragon, as Drasna so helpfully demonstrates.
Google dragon tree
>>27817253
>He's tall.
>>27819615
>>27817253
Because it uses its head as a weapon like a brontosaurus or whichever the giant long-necked dino is. Its probably Alola's only dragon
>>27818351
>Durant has Truant
>only Japanese puns matter
>>27819647
Being tall is like having large round tits.
Its great, but theyre not going to reject you for that one reason
>>27819243
where's my Water/Dragon Mega-Octillery
Same reason why voltorb is electric type, even though he doesn't look like lightening.
>>27817253
To buff ice types
>>27819276
Then why does it have a face?
>>27820111
>Its probably Alola's only dragon
Uh...
>>27817253
It's a dragon tree
No, dragon trees are a real thing
look it up.
>asking why a pokemon that had never made sense still doesn't make sense.
Why is a group of eggs grass type? Why is it psychic type? Why does it grow into a tree? Why is a group of 6 eggs a single pokemon? Why donot exeggutes come in different sized groups? Why does the pokedex say exeggutes fall off of exeggutors when they actually hatch from eggs? Are there 6 eggs in that one egg? Why do eggs grow into a tree?
Honestly,the fact that it turns dragon actually bothers you?
"Dracaena aletriformis" or "Large leaved dragon tree" a variation of the dracaena tree. Dracaena aletriformis is found native to only hawaii.
>>27817718
>Little head blows smoke too
It's literally blowing smoke out it's own ass.
>>27819276
>>27820131
>never heard of ants that stray from the colony
>>27821196
The original dex definitions stated they're seeds that are often mistaken for eggs but that always sounded like some dumbasses at gamefreak didn't know eggs weren't plants
cutest dragon
>>27821747
Yeah but only gen 1 refers to them as seeds. Gen 3 forward sas eggs.
>>27821855
I know that it just makes things more confusing cuz they could have just kept up that facade but decided eh fuck it for some reason.
>>27819312
So that's why Iris had driller in BW. Not sure if they were just being clever but it's still fucking stupid.
>>27821978
doryuzu
expect it to have a mega that is dragon type soon
a more obscure one is Altaria, Japanese name is Tyltalis which referencing Tyl (from Blue Bird of Happiness, hence it being blue and a rare cloud bird) and itself being a major star in Draco constellation (Altaria itself is a star in Draco constellation but misses out why it is blue and why it makes people happy as per dex info)
