I understand it could have been too powerful in Gen I but why hasn't it's type been changed to Water/Dragon yet?

Consistency

you see,

But it has

>>30312370
can't pull that card since gengar lost levitate
>>
>>30312363
Because not everything has to have a type slapped onto it.
>>
Look up the legend its based on. It's not dragon for a reason.
>>
>>30312370
>Changes Wigglytuff and Clefable and their preevos to Fairy
>This can't be done to change Gyarados' type to Dragon

to be honest I think it was to make evolving to his mega evolution more intense, what would be the point of mega evolving if he could just tank electric attacks with 1x effectiveness anyways
>>
>>30312363
How is it a dragon?

The legend its based on is literally about carps becoming dragons.
>>
>>30312503

You obviously don't know the full legend then
>>
>>30312503

It's based on one carp in particular who abused his dragon powers after transforming, got them taken back but kept the form he was given.
>>
>>30312641
Wow. Gyarados makes complete sense.
>>
>>30312609

>>30313099
There is no mention of this legend anywhere outside of GF cocksucking fanboys on the Internet.
>>
Screw the Dragon typing. Bigger deal is when is he going to close his mouth.

>Sugimori drew him mouth open 20 years ago
>Well that's it, he can't ever close it

You have to be at least 18 babby

Is there a more obvious three-typed-mon than Flygon?
>>
>>30314657
As always, you never provide proof of this legend existing outside of fansites.
>>
>>30312392
Never had it to begin with
>>
>Gen 2 introduces Dark-type
>no Gen 1 Pokemon retconned to Dark
>Gyarados stays Water/Flying

You can't imagine how good seeing the Mega felt.
>>
>>30314608
1st movie had it moving its jaw. Pretty sure it closed at some point.
>>
>>30312408
His mega should have been dragon.
>>
>>30312641
Holy fuck anon, are you STILL spewing this shit? It's been like 3 years.
>>
>>30312363
Ironically, they added a Pokemon of that type immediately in the next gen
>>
>>30312408
Outside Rotom, is there any pokemon who changed its type that wasn't a new type?
Pretty sure GF only did this because rotom was a form.

>http://www.zengyotaku.com/carp_jump_dragon_gate.html
sure, people who got carp tattoos are "GF cocksucking fanboys"
>>
>>30316161
Yes, but the legend says nothing about the dragon being disgraced. Reading comprehension.
>>
>>30316438
wtf are you talking about?
It's a carp transformed into a dragon.
You can even see this scene in Pokemon Snap.
Who said anything about it being disgraced?
>>
>>30315160
Gliscor.
Flying/Dark/Bug/Poison/Ground

>>30316506
The fucking moron were arguing with. Once again, try to keep up.

because it's not a dragon and neither is charizard
>>
>>30316573
oh, that guy is retarded.
Gyarados probably isn't a dragon because what OP said.
>>
>>30315160
Dhelmise. It even has an ability that gives it a 3rd stab typing
>>
>>30315944
Yeah but we have 3D modeled Pokemon more, some of this needs fixed. Golbat too. There are some other early mons drawn in action poses that they've never left
>>
>>30317223
oh great, flygon is cucked again
>>
>>30312363
because then it shreds teams without fairies in them
>>
>>30314608
He's supposed to look like those fish streamers that they hang up for festivals. Those things always have their mouths wide open.
>>
>>30312363
Honestly I'd rather it kept its Water/Flying typing as much as DRAGON makes sense on it.

The former is really good defensive typing combined with Intimidate while Water/Dragons suffers from a ton of neutralities and letting -2 Latios hit with Draco Meteor again
