>>50090754this never made any sense to me. Sure, Dragonair and Gyarados both have serpentine bodies, but that's where it ends for their similarities. And the only thing Magikarp and Dragonite have in common are the antenna, but Gyarados has those too so it hardly counts.
Dragonite and Dragonair have the same head shape, similar eyes, the single horn and general smoothness of their bodies.
Meanwhile, Magikarp and Gyarados both feature the crown-like fins, scaly bodies, tailfins, and open gaping mouths.
