[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

Oh yeah Kingdra is also Water/Dragon...but it is the only no-Legendary Pokemon with such type since it's a good defensive type. And combine that with the offencive power of Gyarados.

Now that I think about it I can understand why Gyarados don't become Dragon Type. Unless he fight against Steel, Fairy or other Dragons, that thing would be tremendous powerful...

*stares at Gen 1, when Water/Dragon was only weak to Dragon...and the only Dragon type attack was Dragon Rage*

That's the most common theory for why Gyarados was not a proper Dragon type.  It wouldn't have had any weaknesses at all originally.
