There were only two non-legendary pokemon new to Sun and Moon that could use the move fly.
Having to use the Fly HM would have been a bitch if it was required, but why was Alola so short on birds, flying dragons, and other "weird" flyers like Golurk, Drifblim, and Sigilyph?

alola was short on everything except shitmons and disappointment, why is this a concern?

>Drampa gets Fly as a level-up move
I have been enlightened with this new information
>>32476386
The Flying type has no identity of its own. They can no longer come up with Flying types that aren't just birds, so they can't justify creating any more of them when we have so many birds already.

>Drampa gets Fly, Surf, Hurricane, Glare, Roost, Play Rough, Fire Blast, Ice Beam, Energy Ball
Why did they give him such a good movepool compared to everything else?
>>32476586
Cause its a normal type.
>>32476586
>>32476601
Both Dragon and Normal types, which are both known for having extensive movepools

holy shit

Drampa got everything it could possibly want other than enough bulk to work around its low Speed.
Real talk, Drampa should've been the final stage of the Gen VII pseudo and gotten an adolescent dragon and a middle-aged as prevos.
>we could've gotten Drampa with an extra 115 BST as our pseudo instead of Kommo-oh-no
It wouldn't have mattered if it was slow if it also had an extra 25 points in every base defensive stat.

I'm at least glad he's usable in VGC. It's my new favorite Dragon type and I'm happy it has its niche among the Alola shitmons.
