The guy has so much history and reasoning behind what he is and what he represents that we actually broke him down into his own video, the start of another awesome series, making him one type of dragon for now, even though dragons are his type. dragon because they are dragons, but that is not the only reason why dragons have a lot of dark and elemental magic around them and it is not necessary to be a dragon to use draconic magic, although in the case of the inspirations and origins of the pokemon design, most of them are just dragons so after breaking down all the dragon type pokémon into categories that will be the first category we cover classic dragons is just the dragon and what better dragon to start with than the original dragon rain pokemon is out now ok dragon knight and it's a quick theory pre evolution diamond dragon Gyarados were changed during development because look at the whiskers and the colors on the shape yes dratini and dragon air are based on serpentine sea dragons from Chinese and Japanese myths, long blue guys who live in water but are completely draconic, just like these two dratini can be too. partially inspired by The Legend of the Loch Ness Monster as its isolationist lives in water and is very difficult to find if you take it messy and just decapitate it, you get a dirty knee and a headless Lapras, particularly Korean dragons like the imoogi, they are said to live. thousand years and then a jewel will fall from the sky and if you catch it you will become a real jagan.

This legend can be referenced here as dratini doesn't have any jewels, then dragon air gets one and then becomes a real dragon, drastic and sudden change. The dragon air can also be drawn from the Greek god Hermes and the naked wing from him. His cane. See the similarities. There is also a dragon with a jewel on its neck in the famous Japanese folk tale. The tale of the bamboo cutter, which can also be referred to. A lot of things are happening. here Dragonite seems to get more out of Western dragons, especially of the dumb variety, like what I'm going to call dumb dragons.

I mean, just place the dragon knight next to Puff the Magic Dragon and there you will see the similarities that some call dragons in this style. fairy dragons and that's funny to me, I'll just call them nonsense. The dragon knight is said to be the guardian of the sea and this is referred to by his Japanese name which comes from ocean dragon and there are some silly looking sea dragons made in classical Japanese. arts that may have also played a role in the inspiration moving forward now Gumi sliggoo and goodra confused some people why a slimy dragon that is disgusting although not unheard of immediately reminds me of the scaleless dragon Boss in three, my least favorite boss of all, so it's not really something unheard of.

Also, slimes are a common fantasy enemy, especially in JRPGs, the shortest of the low, often, so a slime eventually turns into a dragon, the tallest of the tall, well that's quite a bit. Amazing, there are also sea slugs that look alike, there's even the blue dragon, which is a pelagic, a Lloyd's nudibranch, which is a fun name, goomy nudibranch can specifically extract from wuxia, a soft-bodied prehistoric mollusk with scales that make it they do something draconic and then looking at sliggoo it may be inspired by a mythical beast known as Luke ours. call boy, I'm going to mispronounce all of these names because of the way this beast is said to be a snake and a mollusk at the same time, a long, enormous body that carries a shell that is also similar to a yokai known as the shoe Sephora. a dragon that lives in a shell by turning good, looks a lot like silly western dragons like Dragonite again, but still smiles.

The entire line may also be inspired by medieval manuscripts, as it was common to depict knights fighting snails rather than dragons. You know for sure why this was so common, but one theory is that it's humorous that in some manuscripts there are knights fighting dragons, the tallest and most powerful beasts, and in other manuscripts there are knights, snails, foolish knight, which is the same as snail, Plus, snails are super humble in comparison. to a dragon so it's fun it's fun humor was a different beast back then another obvious dragon is salamence and its lion elements are very clearly the standard fire breathing dragon although it also borrows elements from salamander Mythical, which is just a normal dragon.

The salamander when it has elements of fire powers has a salamander body, it even has three faces on each side that could be seen as external gills that mini and fib, salamanders like Ian's have elements, it is very aggressive and becomes uncontrollable if he gets angry and just mega evolves. exemplifies this trait, it is similar to many myths about dragons that mercilessly burn down villages, it turns out that he is in a bad mood that day, although his previous evolutions are somewhat unique, but would fit better in the next category, but let's cover them now. Bagon is a small dinosaur creature who wants to become a dragon and tries so hard that he eventually turns into a kind of pupa inside a shell that disappeared before finally turning into a dragon.

It is like a strange bee, although its body structure is similar to that of a baby. Pachycephalosaurus looks like a cute baby Dino. The dragon turns into a shell. He likes hydrogen elements and his line of Dino and Silas are also aggressive and ruthless dragons, but this time he has multiple heads that refer to a specific type of dragon, the Hydra, and as he grows he gets more heads. One such Hydra is Orochi from Japanese legend. another, the laramie and Hydra of the Greeks, and another, the Slavik, becomes Kornegay. The three evil antagonists of these hydras in their stories, the common deceptive and aggressive traits of the Hydra assume that therefore this Pokémon that has the dark type on top of its noivern dragon is a wyvern.

Another specific type of dragon or draconic creature, the most notable difference is that the wyvern's wings are attached to its front limbs in a similar way to how bats work, which is also where the new Verne gives its large, bat-inspired talking ears. , since bats use their huge ears for echolocation. Notably, some design inspiration may also have been taken from the mythical gargoyle, as they are also Betty's draconic demons and then there is De Rampa, the dumbest of dragons. Clearly that's why it's a normal type of dragon, it's boring, it makes me think of the dragon of endlessness. story, so yeah, super boring, how did anyone manage to finish this movie?

I'm done, I can't waste my time insulting movies, after all dragons can be fluffy, in some parts of the world they were even fluffy before they scaled, even grandpa can be based on zhu long a serpentine chinese dragon with an old man's face because that's completely normal normal guy this dragon is so powerful it's said to bring day and night by opening and closing his eyes wow that's a lot of power he even brings the winds by breathing omg and that's what inspired this which we will all forget in this Pokémon existence in the junior to fear Jagan or fear a gun or however you want to pronounce it, it's still ugly and it's what would happen if you took a red-headed rock as gamma. and turned it into a classic western dragon, although it also has some gargoyle and troll elements, as it is said to become immobile when it is cold, similar to these legendary creatures under certain circumstances, plus it is ugly like them too and likes to live in caves, which is also similar. to western dragons like those of Wales, who have a dragon on their flag because dragons are very important to them, apart from the double D and the ending with igon in their name, they are features of the Welsh language, there is clearly an inspiration there , Rayquaza or require poles of The dragon myths around the world are long and sail through the sky like many Chinese dragons, but they perfectly match the description of the Aztec god, a Kotal who was a flying snake that created the boundary that separates the sky of the earth and the sea and lives in the the heavens never descend never holding on dew and particles of air just as rick way is said to do but that's not all rick wob' saw and feels a role similar to the ziz of the legend Hebrew the king of birds and all that is air along with the giant king of the earth and the leviathan king of the sea, the three inspire the legendaries of the gen three box, although Rayquaza is still looking for more, since he is also the Lindwurm of Norse myth, an extremely long serpentine dragon with two front limbs and no hind limbs. and along his body there are runes and symbols on our back similar to Rayquaza, in fact, these saucers shoot out of his body when he mega evolves because the power contained there is too much.

Nick Rose ma is a psychic type and gains steel or ghost after him. absorbs both Galileo and Allah, but when he turns into his ultimate form, ultra ravenless MA, he swaps those four types of dragons and it's clear why he's a dragon, specifically a four-wing and a wyvern, since his hands are attached to their upper wings considering the crows ma. appears in the Aloha region, which is based on Hawaii, can point us towards Chihuahua, named after a Hawaiian dragon goddess who is sometimes depicted covered in bright and radiant gold, in particular also the Moto, our Hawaiian dragons capable of changing shape , perhaps referring to the many forms of crows.

Dragons in many legends are extremely powerful beings of magical power, turning them into an ultra powerful creature of light is an easy path to follow and can potentially end the world. Nature works and draconic beings are often used in the myths of Armageddon and Lastly, in this category, Reshiram zekrom and QM, the three parts of the original dragon, these Pokémon have a lot of lore and reasoning for their Dragon typing and we cover this detail extensively in this video here, check it out in a super summary for now, although there are several dragon myths surrounding the yin yang and even in the symbology of the three essential elements of alchemy in which these three fit perfectly and Lastly, I forgot about mega Charizard X.

People make fun of Charizard for not being a dragon type all the time even though he literally grew up. being a dragon as if it were a dragon skin, it appears very clearly your generic western dragon with a bit of silly dragon, but there are reasons for the lack of a dragon type which we go over in this video, but when mega evolution was added they gave a of Charizard's mega forms, the dragon type, it is stated that the overwhelming power that fills its entire body causes it to turn black and create intense flames, clearly magical dragon flames, that is one of the ways in which Pokémon differentiates fire of normal fire dragon after all the color more with the horns and the way the wings are they just look much more draconian and aggressive, they deserve the type and with that we move on to the next category of dragon type monsters, so what? what's a step down?

How about dinosaurs with dragon powers because they really are dragons? They're just dinosaurs with powers, aren't they Tyrunt and Tyrantrum?They perfectly explain what I mean, our type of dragon, but they are just T Rex or karna sores, although they are T Rex that can learn dragon claws and tails and are said to have been invincible in the ancient world and ruled as kings, which points again to the myth of the dragon. Many tales about dragons have them ruling the land as tyrannical and aggressive kings. There's also a fracturing ax and Haxorus, all based on various prehistoric animals.

The whole line is like a descendant. mixed with a brave rice, this word, then you just raid a pickaxe and then eventually a battle axe, sprinkle a couple of dragon traits like the big claws and aggressive looking scale shapes, yeah, so I'll admit that the reasoning is a bit weak, it's a really bad looking dinosaur, so dragon type, at least they learn a bunch of dragon moves, so they make full use of typing, so they're magical bad dinosaurs, which is basically a dragon. Jiang mo Oaxaca mo oh and like Oh, follow suit, not so Both a dragon and magical dinosaurs, they're like you took a theropod dinosaur and added ankylosaur traits to it.

They perform haka dances, war dances from various Polynesian cultures and their name comes from moto, which in Hawaiian means lizard or dragon and also the name of those mythical Hawaiian dragons that could change shape, although these Pokémon do not do that as Oh can also inspired by the Komodo dragon and it's called dragony Komodo, oh come on they are also magical dinosaurs, basically dragons, and lastly in this category we have the legendaries from the gen 4 box, Dialga Palkia and Tina, I mean look at them Until you look very closely, you don't realize exactly how. They are truly strange, they are the creators and/or guardians of space-time in the distorted world of antimatter, clearly positions that would require a great deal of seemingly magical power, which is where the dragon comes in.

Dialga draws elements from a shorter-necked camarasaur and Palkia. is perhaps an Oviraptor, although both add alien biology and some dragon traits, fun facts in the game's data pole. Kia's wings are actually known as whiskers. Giratina is the most draconian ghostly dragon with some long dinosaur features. It also resembles some prehistoric centipedes, especially if you look at it like this and its altered form poles from the M pivot of the European myth and some say that its two forms resemble the beasts of the Apocalypse, but as I said, being as powerful as The type of dragon fits since dragons are magically powerful and tend to come from high places.

No, then the next category we will call dragon sword. They are not really classic easy dragons or basically dragons because they are dinosaurs with magical powers that they still have. Dragon II traits, so until there is still dragon type, take fly and its previous evolution by Bravo, for example, my brother especially looks like an insect, he is a green lion ant that looks like a dragonfly, that's why he is Dragon type for the pun, ah. I wouldn't put it past Freddy to do such a thing, but at least when he evolves into a fly weapon he looks a lot more dragony.

If you take a western dumb dragon and add some dragonfly elements, you get a flag on some dragonfly species. known as sand dragons, which may have led to Flygon's total writing in general towards Latios and Latias are next and just by looking at them I understand, I guess they are dragons, Weird feather jets, they are super smart and super fast flyers, both common traits of dragons and Various myths can also become invisible among people by making them a kind of Aeon category. Pokémon can point them toward other possible inspiration. The Aeons of Gnosticism, immaterial beings of concepts that are always created in pairs, emanated by a man and a woman. both God and others, it's a complicated bit of metaphysics, spiritual science, but being based on such a spiritual being along with the other traits commonly shared with dragons gives them their Dragon type.

Next up is the ultra beast Gus Lord, if you took a trash compactor, a decorous doe. a Power Rangers villain and a Western dragon, you get Gus Lord, the gluttonous ultra beast that always consumes and never defecates the ravenous black hole. The nature of this beast is also very reminiscent of various dragons and greedy antagonists, it even has those crab claws and in a way they are reminiscent of additional Hydra heads, I mean Gus Lord already has two faces like some kind of Gurren mecha Lagann. Actually, these are just some demonic antagonists from the draconic anime with Dark Dragon II powers on the other Dragon-type ultra beast that is bothering Adel, a super sticky wasp. with some dragon traits, although he doesn't even learn mini dragon moves too naturally.

I would almost consider it a Pokémon or an ultra beast that shouldn't be Dragon type almost because if you just look at the top half I want to say it's a dragon. like a sci-fi dragon, which I guess was the idea, it looks like a space dragon, so it's a dragon type, although it's more of a Super Glue wasp. Also worth mentioning is Megan Adele Naga, who is a mythical snake creature. Mythical serpents are a species of similar dragons too and zygarde three combined forms are based on the three sons of Loki and the angry Buddha Fenrir Jormungandr hell from Norse mythology Jormungandr especially makes the dragon writing easy to see, it is a large snake with great magical power even and Rico Nick equals magic after all, another likely inspiration they merged into is that of nidhogg, a serpentine dragon that resides beneath the roots of the world tree.

Ignore SIL, which also has deer and an eagle that inspired the other Pokémon in this legendary trio. Zygarde is the guardian of the ecosystem has a high level of honor and one that can use the high power granted by the Dragon type thoroughly, 50% and full forms can also be inspired by the Nagas, especially in the form they take in Hinduism. I mean look at a bunch of snakes behind. The main head, what would you call these Vishnu, is often depicted with such snakes and Vishnu is known as the god of protection and preserver of good, similar to Zygarde.

In fact, this entire trio is not only inspired by the creatures that reside around Yggdrasil and the Nords. myth, but also of the three Hindu gods of Trimurti, much more about that in this video here, in general, although Zygarde uses his dragon powers well and his gimmick of being made of numerous cells makes him appear scaled like dragons, it is quite amazing. Pokémon, so it sucks that next is dragalge and kingdra, they are sea dragons, sea dragons, ha, sea dragons are related to the seahorse, if you couldn't tell that the dragon writing here is as bad as vibrato, in It's actually a dragonfly, but don't worry. crazy because there is actually some good reasoning here in Japanese mythology, seahorses and sea dragons are dragons, in fact the Japanese word for seahorse directly translates to dragon child or son of a dragon, they are baby dragons essentially and, according to myth, if they can live for a long time. a full century they will become a full dragon like the ryujin, a sea dragon, so these Pokémon have the Dragon type because they are based on sea dragons which in Japanese myths are baby dragons, so they gain baby dragon powers Gibbite Gabite and Garchomp. they're basic land sharks or sand sharks or land sharks or bullet sharks whatever you want to call them, they're from modern fantasy and they're basically sharks that live on land instead of water, hence the ground type, but Garchomp really It doesn't seem to be. now it's just made by a shark with legs, it also comes from carcharodontosaurus whose name means shark-toothed lizard, so if you take that name literally and add some western dragon traits you'll get Garchomp, plus it's super fast, twitchy and aggressive, It's not the best of reasons. for the dragon type, but it's enough with one that takes us to the last category, the category of not good, not really yet, let me do one more category first and it's not, but well, okay, I guess Pokémon that are from dragon type, but I only have enough reasoning for it in my book just barely going through that complete there is no good reason at all they shouldn't be that category first it's a lowland enforcer it's a tree a tall palm tree with coconut heads its entrance of Pokedex in the Moon States as he grew more and more, he overcame his dependence on psychic powers while within him the power of the sleeping dragon awakened.

Okay, no, no, what's the basis? Well, several things, it could be a reference to the genus of dracania trees. and bushes the name of that Janus in Greek means female dragon in some of the trees in this family they look like executors but that alone is not a good reason to improve the dragon fruit is a thing that grows in the tropics and is an executor Lola's lowland town based in Hawaii, today is in the tropics. Oh, these don't look anything like dragon fruit. The other thing is that it references the mo or again those shapeshifting Hawaiian dragons, which they would commonly shapeshift into. they were trees, so a tree being a dragon is a thing in Hawaiian myth, so I guess you get a pass just as an enforcer even though you don't shapeshift or have any dragon traits beyond the tail.

I guess we just do it. next is mega Ampharos now how does this dragon work? His pokedex entry mentions that mega evolution stimulated his DNA to awaken the blood of a long dormant dragon. Basically, his shy body descended from dragons. I'm guessing it's Welsh, so Welsh dragons were said to be extremely gentle and affectionate. just like a sheep and sheep are also very important to Wales so there is the connection, there are also many eastern dragons that are woolly and also some that are gentle and are often associated with clouds whose sheep's wool can looking like Ampharos has a thin body with a fluffy cloud like mane could be playing a role here now.

I want to mention a note: Xiao Feng from Chinese myth. While researching I found a blog post about Chao Feng as the base of the mega Ampharos is the Dragon type which states that Xiao Feng is half sheep half dragon and has a long thin neck and a big fluffy tail but when trying to find legitimate sources for this, turns out that's not true. Most depictions of Chao Feng have him as a flaming Phoenix-maned lion with a stubby-necked lion head. dragon and one with a short but still fluffy tail. In fact, Chao Feng is very important to Chinese myth, as

every

building in the Forbidden City has one or more statues on their roofs for protection and none of them resemble Ampharos, not even a little bit. a little bit, so I don't think Chao Feng is the reason why maybe I have dragon type horses, but I still want to dimension this as another example of not believing everything you read on a blog and also so that you don't tell me that I'm wrong because you looked it up and there is a blog post that says so even though it doesn't include any sources yet, mega Ampharos though.

I guess its Japanese name is also a play on words, since dragon and electric current when written in Japanese are similar, so you just go around the line just a little bit the smallest of the droppings you know is next to come out , No? It's not a category, Pokémon that don't really have the best or really any good reason for being the type they are and first noid, it's just a damn bat, sure it evolves, it annoys Vern the wyvern, but at the moment it's just a sound bat, it should be normal to fly loads of Pokémon that change type when they evolved and this should be one too, in fact, for as long as we are.

Just bring it from brava here too Flygon is dragony, braava isn't and neither is tirta nadir oh it's a big reptile for sure but at least dinosaurs are already close to dragons and salamanders have dragon mythology around them , but this ugly thing is just a Matamata turtle, in fact, it only naturally learns a dragon-type move, poison makes a lot more sense, the area around the volcanoes where it lives spews force all kinds of nasty gases, in fact, its wounds from pokedex they even claim that it spews fire and poisonous gases from its nostrils none of them say that it has dragon abilities because it doesn't, it's a lava turtle plant of mine, one that shouldn't be fire dragon, but fire monkey or fire poison, next is mega Sceptile, now I want to say that winning dragon type is cool and all. just because it's reptile it's also a mix of gecko and ophisaurus so it's like the other dinosaurs, dinosaurs are dragons so give them dragon powers and they are dragon type, what is mega sceptile's natural dragon power then?

Oh, just the double slash move, what a terrible move. It has to be your only natural movementdragon type and again, even looking at TMS and breeding, the options are very limited. The fight makes a lot more sense than the dragon. More fighting type moves can be learned. Plus, that would fit better with their fast, crisp blades. the forearm motif now I want to say it's cool that as Omega he can now throw his tail like a missile launcher, like how many lizards can separate their tails to defend themselves, but that doesn't make you a dragon, in fact it makes a tail whole is worth less. of a dragon and that leads us to humor.

Altaria Pokemon tends to be fairly simple and well designed. Part of the idea is that you can easily tell the type of Pokémon just by looking at it, which is why almost all fires. The Pokémon type is red or orange and sure some Pokémon can be a little harder to understand at a glance than others, but they should never imply something completely different mixing ground and rock, yes, okay, but this thing doesn't look like a dragon absolutely. Not a bit, not a bit, it's a cute fluffy fairy cloud bird and it's a flying dragon until it mega evolves and then it turns into a dragon fairy.

Why is it a cloud bird? Its design is based on a blue bird mixed with a cloud, perhaps with some inspiration. ping a legendary Chinese bird with wings like clouds, but that's not a dragon, what if I told you there's a reason for its dragon writing? Would you even believe me? It's just not good, its name in Japanese anyway is tyll tyll evolved from til by the way, the name comes from a Belgian French play called the blue bird whose protagonists had the names my until and until until and they were tasked with find the blue bird of happiness, but that still doesn't say dragon. does, so we have to move on, well these characters and by extension this Pokémon is named after a star in the sky, a star named who would have thought it and this star is just one of the many stars that They are in the constellation of Draco.

Yes, like I said, it is a reason, but is it a good reason? This thing screams dragon because its name in one language refers to a play about a blue bird and the name of that also corresponds to a Chinese constellation. Do you know why you don't leave it? I know how good the idea below is because I can't even get mad right now. I am simply amazed. See you next time in this series. It will be of the type of a fairy. You'll be able to watch this again and I don't want it, but hey, until then, if you like this series, check out this new series we're doing, which covers every Pokémon move and explains what they do, how they work, why they're the type that they are and, sometimes, why they shouldn't be. that tight, but only sometimes most of the moves make a lot of sense and until next time, remember to never stop using your head.

Watching the rest of our dragon videos because it's the month of the Dragon and next month is the fairy month, make sure you tune in to see all of these special Dragon and Fairy II videos yeah.
