Not giving levitate to Magnezone line, Metagross line or any other Pokemon that actually fucking levitates.
I don't care if that makes them OP or whatever, if the pokemon floats it FLOATS.

Actually it's based on Slavic dragons; specifically Zirnitra, the black dragon of sorcery, which is reflected in its dark typing and high special attack.

I can see why the multiple heads could confuse you, but that's not a trait unique to hydras.

I could forgive a lot of this thing's shortcomings, if they'd simply given it Mach Punch and Ice Shard.

You're all wrong. Hydreigon is based on the Yamata no Orochi, Ken Sugimori confirmed it in an interview.

It is actually based on Yamata no Orochi and it originally was supposed to have shitton of heads. Then they replaced most of its heads with wings and fake muppet head-hands. You can actually see that its wings are kinda head-shaped too.

English name is completely moot, because it was made long after the Pokemon itself was designed. This was before worldwide releases and shit.

Levitate should be a natural trait of certain pokemon rather than an ability or type immunity. That way they could give it to magneton and have Dodrio no have it.

This "thing" is unforgivable. I hope they at least give crabrawler a split evo one day (basically 0 chance of that happening though) so that its association with this garbage can be weaker.

He walks on his claws and the prints end up looking like huge yeti footprints. That's one of the few really fun things about his design. Everything else about his is trash though

Only in English and a few other localized names. The original name, Sazandora, is just a play on "three" and "dragon".

It's has a german name and made by japs. It is based on the Orochi and the name is a relic from when it was based on tanks. This is actually stated by Sugimori

This, I literally can't believe you would complain about a free type immunity. Many Pokemon get absolutely nothing useful from their ability pool
