Sceptile clearly was, gamefreak just doesn’t make starter’s dragon types (minus Megas), it learns dragon claw via TM in the original games

Because Dragon is a shill type they add to Pokemon to promote them to shillmons, though they’ve been been using Dark and Fairy lately

Yeah they really started tacking that type on to megas and it seemed pretty forced

Still less forced than m Feraligatr tho

I headcanon every pokemon that can learn dragon moves has some draconic ancestry.
So yes. Sceptile is a dragon. So is Charizard. So is Gyarados. So is Milotic.

Dragon and fairy are the "we need to make this form more special" tack on types. Nothing about Meganium and Altaria are more "fairy" than they were before.

>normal
That would never happen. The entire point of megas is aura farming its game freak forcing the world to love thier newly promoted shillmon. Normal is the only type on the game that is explicitly garners a Pokémon less respect. There’s a reason many Pokemon lose normal when evolving but not a single one has ever gained it upon evolving and especially not upon Mega evolution

there's a lot of stuff gamefreak does that "would never happen" lmao
also reminder that ghost/normal is an objectively better type than mono-ghost as it grants Ghost immunity with no drawbacks. So, mega dusknoir, or mega mismagius, or mega houndstone, or mega cursola, or mega cofagrigus would all benefit from it. Would be pretty fun imo.

Not only this pile of shit isn't worth of being a Dragon-type but it also shouldn't even exist as a Pokemon. Applin's line is the other absolute shit tier """"""dragon"""""" line.
Can't tell who is the worst offender between the asthma inhaler that lights cigarettes, a stapler that bridges and a literal building with windows and all.
