The pokemon on the left is a Water / Flying type and is unable to learn the flying type move Aerial Ace via leveling up, TM, breeding or move tutor.The pokemon on the right is a Rock / Steel type and is able to learn the flying type move Aerial Ace via TM40.Thank you for your attention.
Aerial Ace is a slashing move so anything with claws can learn it
She will use HP Flying for STAB and you will like it
>oh your flying type isn't a stupid bird? enjoy only learning hurricane and fly lolThis type fucking sucks
>>58188869And that's perfectly logicalAggron looks like he could learn to pilot a big plane and become an aerial aceGyarados could never pilot a plane
flying type stab means shit to a king like gyarados. run mixed with hurricane or get one with a flying tera type if you want it that badly
>>58188951>Aggron looks like he could learn to pilot a big plane and become an aerial aceMASTER I LEARNED TO FLY A PLANE SO I CAN SHIT ON YOUR CAR FROM HIGHER ABOVE
Gyarados is more commonly depicted slithering on the ground like a snake than it is flying. The one in Legends Arceus is an outlier.
>>58188869Remind me why Gyarados is a flying type again? Chinese/eastern dragons can fly but Gyarados has never(?) been show flying, it's just a big sea serpent.
>>58188902>anything with claws can learn it
>>58188869So I heard you needed an HM slave to learn Fly?
>>58188978At this point it's clear that they gave it flying typing just so it would be 4x weak to electric moves.
>>58188978Gyarados has in fact been shown flying
>>58188869Which isn't surprising in the least, here's why:Aerial Ace's Japanese name (which often does a better job of conveying the nuance of why certain Mon learn certain things) is Tsubame Gaeshi which roughly translates to Swallow's Return. This can either be interpreted literally as a bird flying quickly and returning to it's original spot, or it can be taken as a reference to a sword technique of the same name and as such, it is a slashing move.This means the Pokemon learning it would need to either be physically capable of or have a design based upon something capable of bird-like/winged locomotion or slashing something with claws, pincers or some other kind of sharp thing.This would explain why Gyarados specifically cannot learn it, Gyarados' form of flight doesn't involve wings and it's only sharp appendage is it's fangs which would be used for biting moves. Many Pokemon who learn it who don't have wings/an obvious appendage for flight are at least in the Flying egg group too, such as Togepi.Being fair though, there are some outliers. Mantine could MAYBE make sense if interpreting it's wing-like fins as wings and it's gliding after leaping out of water as a type of "flight". That being said there is one Pokemon who has absolutely no excuse: Bruxish. Nigga how the FUCK can Bruxish learn it?But yeah, some moves have some weird distribution. Like the iconic instances of things like Primeape's tailless Iron Tail or Wooper and Gastly learning fucking Ice Punch.My personal favourite is that Cryogonal can learn Attract despite being Genderless and as a result the move cannot succeed.
>>58189009This one actually makes sense due to concept art confirming that it can retract it's appendages and project energy from them. Though due to the nature of the games and GF's unwillingness to let Creatures go apeshit, it's only been shown off in the Ashnime and certain spinoffs like New Snap and Pokepark 2. It can also become a cannon.
>>58188978Weak to rock, resists fighting, etc.
>>58189103Here's one of it turning into a cannon and preparing to fire.The anime is shit, but it has always done a good job of showcasing abilities we'd never otherwise see since they're largely portrayed only in concept art and reference sheets rather than the in-game sprites and models
>>58188975>>58188978gyarados is almost exclusively shown flying what are you talking about
>>58188978Fake fan spotted
>>58188964>flying tera typeHow do I unlock that in Emerald?
>>58188869>what is coverage for 500
Gyarados was retconned to water dark in gen 6
gyarados would be way too strong in-game if it had a physical flying stab
>>58188978It's based on a kite you cultureless burger
>>58190252>gyarados would be way too strong in-game if it had Bounce
>>58188995It is also learned by winged pokemon, Gyarados doesn't have wings.
>>58188869The Pokémon on the left will bounce and it will like it!
I think Gyarados should be water/ground if dark luxray fags are allowed to claim that a mon should be X type just because it learns a move of that type and has an associated color on its designAfter all Gyarados gets Earthquake and has beige scales on its underside
>>58190395the anon tagged will bounce on my dick and they will like it!
