  • For the same reason they gave every Dragon a Ground/ Flying subtype (with the exception of Kingdra)- because Gyarados is really freakin' powerful. And hey, the subtype does give him a resistance to Grass.

    On a side note, the subtype can actually be useful to draw out Electric attacks.

    1) Gyarados is sent out.
    2) Gyarados switches to Electivire.
    3) Enemy uses Thunderbolt, not realizing that Gyarados would switch out.
    4) Thunderbolt hits, Motor Drive activated, Electivire sweeps whole team. GG.

    So, I take it that Dialga, Palkia, Bagon, Shelgon, Dratini, Dragonair and the Latis aren't dragons anymore? O=

    But yeah, this is about the most pointless topic ever. Gyarados is Water/Flying because that's the way Gamefreak wanted it. It really doesn't call for any deeper explanation than that, and I must say...this poll has a distinct bias to it. xP
