>water-flying type
>can't use any flying moves

Why? Why give him a type that only makes it weaker to electric and ice attacs?

Gyarados is inspired by an old japanese story about a karp fish that wanted to go against the watterfall current, the gods pray his effort transforming him into a dragon like fish and allowing him to fly

Nothing wrong with it. It was a good time when most pokemon didn't had high power dual STABs to 2HKO evverything.

I meant an useful flying move like this >>24684491

Gyarados is supposed to be able to float arround out of the water. Why can't you teach him fly?

I think GF's logic is that they are happy to convey a creature's flying ability by either giving it a flying type or letting it learn fly. Notice how bug types that learn fly aren't part flying and those that can't have part flying iirc

Its Flying-typing also gives it an immunity and added resistance to Bug, Fighting and Grass attacks.

The true reason it is flying type, is because back in gen 1 if a pokemon had a Dragon/Water type, it would have no weakness. So they had to change the type to flying instead to make it still fit the dragon story he and Magicarp are based on.

Sorry for the long read.

It was okay then because Dragon type attacks were also introduced. Giving it a weakness. Back in gen 1 the only Dragon type move was Dragon Rage, and that did fixed damage.

What flying type moves can it actually learn besides bounce? It has no wings so it can't use air slash/wing attack/brave bird

having a type that's weak to 2 types one of them being it's own and the other being nerfed by water. then having the only type advantage possible performed by a mon that will undoubtedly be weak to what you're trying to beat because the type specific move is not the sort learned by any mon, just ones of that given type.

fuck you kingdra, you bulky shit. i still have flashbacks.
