Because considering the mechanics in Gen 1, it would be overpowered as a dragon type.

Maybe they thought Dragon type would be too overpowered for a Pokemon you can get so early.

It's based off of the fish that jumped a waterfall and became a dragon, and fish flags/kites.

I love gyrados's design and the allure it had in gen 1
i just wish it had a better learnset and sp. atk
in the story he's supposed to be a fucking monster, when in-game he's nothing of the sort

the only thing that wasn't great about it, was the lack of physical STAB attacks

He was still terrible in Gen 3. He didn't become usable until the physical-special split.

That still doesn't change the fact that Gyarados is Flying type because it flies. That is the reason why.

We've been talking about in-game. Anything that has to set up to be useful is a liability in-game.

Waterfall is decent. Not Surf decent but still decent nonetheless.

Who even mentioned setting up?

He has a decent moveset and doesn't need to run DD, but running DD ingame is so much easier than in competitive

lolno, NPCs rarely switch, so aslongas your opponent hasn't got any super effective moves, you can just click dragon dance 2-3 times and kill everything

Well, not so much "correcting" so much as "moving the goalpost" but fine, you corrected me.

I didn't move the goalpost. If you had read the thread, you'd have known we were talking about pre-physical-special split.
