>>29939106The thing about Flygon is that it's too many concepts crammed into one thing, and it clashes directly with how they make Pokemon work mechanically more than any other Pokemon.
It's an antlion - so Bug.
Its theme, though, is Ground type, being a sand-dwelling Pokemon.
It then becomes a Dragon, like the ugly duckling but a more boyish, powerful version.
But it's also themed on Flying because Dragonflies.
So what we have is a Pokemon that is trying to be Bug/Ground/Dragon/Flying and it just can't work. Bug is established as a type that can become something else, (e.g. Skorupi -> Drapion) so fine, but the others aren't so easy to rectify; and again, later additions like Garchomp and Zygarde ensure Flygon will move further and further away from relevancy with every game.
They changed Magnemite's type before - why not once more? I don't think anyone would complain if it helped Flygon out. Hell, why not:
>Flygon>Bug/Dragon>Ability: Fast Flight>Effect: If Flygon moves first, it remains immune to Ground for the rest of the turn.>HA: Gale Wings
