Why the fuck is Gyarados Water/Flying in the first place? Water/Dragon would have made so much more sense, but no, GF had to keep it the special snowflake type until gen 3.

Game mechanics reasons, not lore reasons.
Water/Dragon in Gen 1 was broken because its only weakness was dragon, and there was only Dragon Rage which always did 40 HP damage. This would give it no weaknesses. And because the other typing that makes sense (given its personality and proneness to rampage and destruction) Water/Dark didn't exist yet, they had to go with Water/Flying which doesn't make as much sense but also didn't make Gyarados a broken mon with no weaknesses in the first game.

They retconed magnemite's line by gen 2, and gen 6 basically did a 180 on all the mons that could be fairy (See Clefable), so Gary's chances are basically nill at this point

Besides the windsock design it's also because asian dragons DO fly and hey're often depicted as weather gods, residing in the clouds.

No, moron. Just proving that there WERE moves that hit SE against Psychics. Jolteons almost always ran Pin Missile in G1, and the classic Parasyrex set focused on Spore, Sword's Dance, and Leech Life to take Mewtwo out.

Except people actually did employ the Swift/Double Team/Rest/Sword's strategy a lot during the early stages of the G1 meta.

>>31686707
Back in the early days of the G1 meta, before Mewtwo got banned, Parasect and Slowbro were two of its only counters, believe it or not.

Geez, why the fuck am I arguing with kids. There's no way you guys were around during the actual formation of the G1 meta.

The guy I originally replied to was saying how psychic Pokemon had no weaknesses back in G1. While they had VERY FEW weaknesses, they still had weaknesses. That was my point.

It's not flying, it just floats in the air to simulate swimming like most fish-based Pokemon.

In actuality, Gyarados slithers around like a snake on land.
