Well Ampharos is already supposed to be some dragonish even before megaevole, it's a "joke" of how dragons were supposed to devour sheeps in medieval tales but Mareep, the cute electric sheep, evolves into a sheep-dragon.

Where the hell did you get that from?
In Japanese, Ampharos is called Denryu which I think means like electric current or something. Ryu is the word for dragon so they thought it would be funny to make it and electric dragon type
That's all there is to it. Nothing to do with dragons eating sheep

You're nuts if you think the Japanese will shy away from giving something a name like Mega Megayanma. He might not get one, but it won't be for that reason.

Ampharos is bipedal and learned Outrage in gen 4. Quite a change for an electric sheep.
Your turn.

Meteor Mash is called 'Comet Punch' in Japan. That's why it's boosted by Iron Fist, and why Minior who has no hands can't learn it.
They really fucked up some of the names in translation. Low Kick was supposed to be a Kick Down, while Low Sweep was supposed to be Low Kick but couldn't because that name already existed.
Beedrill should've been a wasp, not a bee. And Vespiquen should've been a bee, not a wasp.
I hope they fix this someday.

This makes so much more sense given the effects of both moves

Multi-hit punch or consecutive punch. The game didn't have enough characters so they had to go with a smaller name. Although Comet Punch is a pretty stupid name for what the move is and does.

Tbh in gen 1 the effect of low kick was different so the name did make some sense. But still, such a shame.

Bulbapedia's shitty translations again.

"けたぐり" (Kataguri) is a term that doesn't really have a direct translation. It's a sumo move where they either use the back of their foot to pull the opponent's leg out from under them, or just kick their shins to get the same effect. "Kick Down" sounds like someone making up a translation because they didn't recognize the original word.

But it's still dragon-type because it looks like a dragonfly.
