>>47960961>>47960990>>47961015>>47961058Let's be real, Gyarados' official size never made any sense
Gen 1 official sizes were shat without any second thought to it since they were meant to be some random data in the dex entries, and many of them made no sense (Gyarados, Nidoking, Charizard...etc).
Hence why the anime immediatly fixed them in order to make these pokemon credible in an organic world
