Is Dragon type even special anymore?
Is Dragon type even special anymore?
noπ₯
No when Charilard got that Mega, it pretty much became a Casualized type
It doesn't feel as rare since we get a bunch of new Dragons every gen unlike when I got into pokemon and we only had Dragonite and Kingdra. They also obviously got nerfed because of Fairies but they are still in the top 3-4 best types.
It stopped being a Special Type after the split in Gen 4
>One of the only types to achieve "psuedo-legendary" status πͺ
>Members of the potent "fantasy" core (Fairy, Dragon, Steel) πͺ
>Had to be nerfed by introducing a new type, the devs HAD to rewrite universal lore
Dragon types are the best when they look unique and aren't just generic lizards with wings.
I always see people talking about their grass/fire/water cores but Steel/Fairy/Dragon truly is the GOAT
They are just good types, they don't have the same synergy as FWG
>water beats fire beats grass beats water
>steel beats fairy beats dragon beats steel π€
>tfw steel, fairy and dragon are your three favourite types thematically
I still don't know what this thing is supposed to be
Itβs a toilet because Galar is full of shit.
came looking for a real nigga and I found one π
you get some dumb shit but it still keeps the general theme of strong late game type
it's an inhaler for children like who can't get enough oxygen to their brains
It became a plague that needed to be controlled
It supossed to be inspired by The Shard tower (UK) + some short of mecha-kaiju (specially its Gigamax form) + A Lighter
It's still one of the only types that made people so salty that they made an entire type specifically to fuck it over. Only, unlike in Psychic's case, they also made said counter type the most overpowered type in the game as well just to be sure.
And then dragons just started using steel/poison moves to fuck with them anyway.
Stopped being special in gen 6 when they started making a disproportionately large amount of new dragon types each game
*Gen 3
Flygon, Altaria, Salamence, Lati@s, Rayquaza.
That's five new dragon lines in one game, and it only exploded from there. DP made a whole trio of them.
