>>46167724>People always complain about Flygon's Type. Here's the deal. First of all, it NEEDED to be Ground Type. That is ESSENTIAL to its concept. Aside from the move Sandstorm which is only Rock Type because of Tyranitar, literally every other sand-based move is Ground Type. Flygon is a a spirit of the desert, Trapinch dig traps in the sand. Ground Type is essential to its concept and not negotiable. They embody sand.>The reason Flygon is not a Bug Type is because Flygon isn't a bug. It is BASED on a family of insects, it's not ITSELF an insect, it's a reptile. It has lenses that MIMIC compound eyes, it has what LOOK like antenna and insect wings but actually are not. I agree Vibrava straight up looks like an insect, but Flygon deliberately only mimics the design of one.>In short, they set out to design a "sand dragon", which is what ant lions are called in some places. From the beginning, it was intended to be a dragon that looked like an insect, not a real one.>You are deliberately showing picture of Vibrava and not the final form Flygon, quit being an idiot on purpose. You're an embarrassment.>Scyther looks vaguely reptilian but it isn't a reptile at all, it's not equivalent.astounding amount of mental gymnastics. not sure if funny or sad
