Altaria is a Cockatrice. It has two legs, a long serpenty neck, and a rooster's head. On top of that it learns Dragonbreath upon evolution and the Cockatrice is said to be able to kill people by breathing on them.
@@ostensiblyaverage5576 Cockatrice are said to turn those who look at it into stone. It's would've been a poor choice anyways since it is a rooster with a body and tail of a snake and draconic wings, so it looks nothing like Altaria. Plus, there isn't anything generally fluffy on a cockatrice; just normal chicken feathers on its head and legs, and Cockatrices don't even have fluffy wings.
@@AneitaLT I'd say those are likely stylistic choices, afterall every pokemon doesn't need to look exactly like what it's based on. It's also better reasoning than something like Alolan Exeggutor so I think it's unfair to put it in a catagory beneath it.
@@AneitaLT Well a gentle one of them would have fluffy cloud surrounding it. Just watch the video back. He says why Altaria is a dragon on Ampharos, then totally ignores it.
Considering your job title was stolen by a thing that literally looks like a naked Homer Simpson wearing cheap Halloween devil wings and a tail I'm going to go with yes.
It's official; water types are so garbage at protecting the sea that a dragon off of dragon tails and a white dragon goose with hand wings have to step up and protect them.
I am convinced that Altaria's dragon typing is (in part) due to its inspiration being a mythical creature, with the dragon-type acting as the mythical-creature-type at the time. Its definitely not airtight, as your reasoning regarding Tyl in Draco is certainly a contributing factor. But I am certain that if Altaria were released today it would be Fairy/Flying instead due to fairy also being a type that heavily taps into mythology.
I get the confusion with Altaria, but it actually is based off a dragon called a cockatrice. They are small, chicken like dragons that had breath that could turn someone to stone, which is why it has always learned dragon breath, a move witha chance to paralyze, at the same level swablu evolves into it since gen 3.
Also, Peng is sometimes depicted as a literal flying fish with wings. So what is a giant fish with bird wings made from clouds? Anything but Normal/Flying and in the eastern mythology, dragons are more associated with the sea, storms, and wind which is what a flying bird-looking fish thing is.

@@clipper367garcia6 Yes. In Chinese as well. The characters are 恐竜. 恐 means scary/horrifying/fear while 竜 is just another way to write 龍, both of which mean dragon.
Latios is like Lugia But not water. And not given Flying, is flying needed to fly? No! So Mewtwo and stuff can float. Charizard X also is no flying anymore. Needed 4 types: Water/Flying Dragon/Psychic Can float and stuff, with Psychic powers.
The strongest dragon type pokemon is eternatus without a doubt and that is because eternatus is a poison/dragon type legendary pokemon and eternatus is a skeleton dragon that has powers to control time and space and eternatus is basically a serpentine skeletal dragon that can kill You. So beware of eternatus.
Turtonator could also be based on Gamera, the Japanese pop culture character. Gamera is a kaiju like Godzilla, but instead of being a dinosaur, Gamera is a giant turtle that can turn the holes in it's shell into rocker jets, similar to how Turtonator can use his nose as a canon, has explosive spikes on his shell, and is overall shaped like comicbook explosion. If being a dinosaurs makes you a valid dragon type, so does being a kaiju
As far as I know, Ampharos Dragon type was referencing his electric/dragon type from beta versions of Gold/Silver, hence the "long sleeping dragon blood".
On a similar note, I think that Raikou, Entei, and Suicune dying and being reborn is a reference to the Gold and Silver beta, where they look drastically different.
@@inkmaster5480 Actually, while that might be the case, they were, according to some in-game lore, three Pokémon that died during the Fire in Burned Tower, in Ecrutaek. Ho-oh brought them back to life. It's not stated if they were already these legendary beasts before being ressurected, or if such power came only as a result from being ressurected by Ho-oh, though.
Altaria also seems like it fits the "Dragons are Magical Creatures" schtick. Though I do have a feeling that if the Fairy Type existed when Altaria was being designed, it would probably be Flying/Fairy instead of Dragon.

Bagon always wishes to fly, because of this it also learns the move Wish and because of it, it always jumps off cliff in the hope to fly which finally makes it able to fly when it fully evolves-this story moral is that if u try hard u can do anything
The English name doesn't inspire its typing. The typing inspires the name. Altaria wasn't going through the design process based on a name it eventually got from being renamed.
I think a possible reason for the type come from the fluffy cloudy things on it's body. They make it look somewhat like a fairy and since the fairy type didn't existed back then und fairies are mystical beeings just like dragons it got the dragon type.
I was thinking of Altaria getting it dragon type base on the eastern dragon the Storm dragon base on that usually appear in a storm cloud. and according to the myth most never seen it true form cause of how much cloud surround the dragon, but i also like the idea of the Pendragon typing
I actually like the reason for Altaria being a dragon. It's kinda poetic and also very pretty having such a not at all obvious and hidden origin. I would actually appreciate if there where more pokemon like that.
FlareSilva Or it was that, as he said earlier in the video when discussing Amphoras, eastern dragons can be associated with clouds... and Altaria is basically a cloud
did you not read that one frame where he said he puts mistakes in his videos on purpose to play the algorithm so that people will find them, be elitist, and correct them so that his engagement goes up?
I'm for it cuz why does it have to have such a specific origin point for them to make it dragon-type? there isn't a specific dragon or type of dragon it's based on so it can't be dragon?
@@storymaster21 there are several tens or even hundreds of thousands of yugioh cards (i havent kept up with the game that much to keep track). doing even one episode on any of the monster card types, even ignoring attributes, would take WAY too long
"ampharos is dragon because sometimes dragons are based on poofy wool and clouds, see? Dragon" *Two minutes later* "ALTARIA IS NOT DRAGON ITS CLOUD BIRD HNGNGNRH!!!!-$;$-#+!+#(*"
Though the dragon typing is ONLY on MEGA ampharos which is probably why Lockstin gave it a pass, seeing as mega evolution unlocks infinity energy and all that crap.
Theres a myth called bird dragon or chicken dragon which most of u havent heard but not all its a combination between a wind dragon and a bird dragon which they are actually long but altaria is actually made of cloud ik it is confusing but altaria was made to be fat so no offense the design still looks cool
6:40 I like the idea that shelgon is entirely encased in callous' from Bagon's head because it's been throwing itself off cliff's so long trying to fly. Only way to put that together is through Bagon's Ruby/Sapphire dex entry, too
But Turtonator’s whole thing is about setting traps and being defensive. Isn’t salemence the one who flies around on rampages burning everything in sight? Or Hydreigon for that matter too?
I actually had a buddy who went to visit Japan for 2 years because he liked a lot of Japanese lore and culture and he loved to talk to me about a lot of the Pokemon that had the dragon type because that was his favorite type. His favorite Pokemon was altaria but said he was very disappointed when he figured out that the biggest reason it was dragon type is because it supposedly meant it was a dragon that ascended from the clouds and the cloud was swooped down with it😢
Turtonator does have a sense being a dragon, because of chinesse myths, the Hyunmu or Mountain turtle is also known as a land dragon, and Turtonator can be a reference of that but with a volcano, the only main difference is the volcanic reference of spewing fire(lava) and toxic gasses from it's nostrils
As a welshy, i can confirm, dragons mean everything to us and its definitely not because it was like half of our folk lore and massive medieval story telling.
Drampa is a friendly old man who loves his family and friends and is also probably the one who always has your back in an argument. Kinda like the cool family members or mentor figures in fantasy
Alolan exeggutor makes sense to me, long ago, some dragons transformed into trees. Then they didn't untransform, so their descendants didn't realize they weren't trees.
That's so funny to me fir some reason Dragons beliving their trees And absolutely NOBODY bothered to even check or do anything,they just accpeted their new existence as trees
Fun fact: Salamence is so dragony that for a time Google classified it as Salamence/Flying type. This happened for all Dragon and even Onix (Rock) types.
Most of the comparisons to dinosaurs are correct but the dictononts were mammals and Carcharodontosaurus Was pronounced car-cara-dontosaurus not carcher-odontosaurs
I always thought Turtonator was based on Tarasque. This is a mythical beast from a French legend. It is described as a dragon-like beast with spiked armor on its back. It is said to have killed eight brave peasants with a blast of fire, which would explain the Fire type.
I know this video is 2 years old, but I feel like someone should make a sister video to this explaining how some non-dragon Pokemon *could* be dragon types based on their appearances and in-game descriptions.
But you said (with mega ampharos) that in eastern europe dragons are associated with clouds, and the first pokemon I thought of is Altaria! Did only I think about this?
thought the same, sheeps have way more genetical distance between reptiles/dinosaurs than birds, a cloudy bird has more sense to be called "dragon" rather than a cloudy two-footed sheep
He talked about that cloud dragon stuff when he was doing amphoros but why didn’t he talk about it when explaining altaria, which was far more fitting with that reasoning
I was actually really surprised when I found out noibat was a dragon type. I thought it was a normal flying type and was really confused when I got a noibat dragon type card. I think it's because all the noibat cards I had before were colourless (normal and flying types) while noivern was dragon type Also, I absolutely love altarias reason for being a dragon type although I'm biased. I love altaria, it was one of my first shiny pokemon
@@CyberchaoX It's not as cool as Seahorse in Japanese meaning "Illegitimate Child of a Dragon." 'Denyru' is a fusion of the word for Electric Current & 'Born of/from a Dragon' So really Ampharos's name fully written out would be more akin to- "Dragon's Electrical Current" or "Electrical Current of the Dragon". I love Dragons so this was quite fun to look around for lol (I was also born in the YEAR of the Dragon [2000], AND I'm a Pisces [March)
Ice Pokémon and dragon Pokémon are natural enemies. Like, fairy Pokémon and dragon Pokémon. Or Dragon Pokémon and Dragon Pokemon. Damm dragon Pokémon have ruined the dragon type.
Sceptile being part Dragon type was something that I wanted for years, and even though it's 4x weak to ice, I was still stoked that OR/AS finally made it a reality. The Treecko line is part of the Dragon egg group, so there's also that.
Yet it doesn't learn Dragon Dance (It should! Even though it doesn't really have any need to use it. SD is just better at its speed tier) while the Totodile line learns it and _isn't even in the Dragon egg group._ That said, I could've seen the nonexistent Feraligatr Mega as part Dragon for the same reason as Zard and Scept (to make another Grass-Fire-Water starter trio w/ them).
Turtonator has a really good reasoning for the Dragon typing, because in Asian cultures states that they're actually descendants of the 4 lion turtles that gave us our worlds 7 continent's and magical gifts, who were said to all be Dragon turtles
About Mega-Ampharos: "There are dragons [...] associated with clouds" About Altaria: "It's a cloud bird!" Birds are descendant from dinosaurs. They stand on their hindlegs and have wings on their forelimbs, effectively making them real life wyvern. Also, how did you manage to talk about stars, not mentioning, that the name is a reference to "Altair", the brightest star in the Aguila ("EAGLE"!) constellation. However, the point that really makes it dragon type for me is the similatiry to the Alkonost. Often referred to as "bird of happiness" it proclaims gods will in the russian orthodox church. Some say hearing it's song makes you forget everything around you, which is similar to many of Altarias dex entries, saying it leaves people who hear it's song in a "dreamlike state". And a messenger of a god is no less dragon worthy than - say- Zygarde, based on Jörmungandr, which is just a big-ass snake, tasked to coil around the world to keep it safe.
sorry i know im a bit late but, he did mention that king bird thingy who sepreates the sky from thr earth and the sea, which is a bird from Hebrew, im like tf you talking about
You should do a vid on Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre! It sounds like they have a lot of interesting lore and inspiration behind them which would make an interesting video
One thing that can explain some Dragon reasoning is the whole idea of "Half bloods" Dragons in some stories do have children that are only half dragon but do maintain some dragon powers. While this is not the best way to bail out the pokemon, it does help some reasoning out when not looking fully dragon like.
I think anything reptilian could be a dragon "type", since a dragon type doesn't have to be a actual dragon, like how fire types don't have to be actual fire
24:29 don't be afraid to take some time off, my dude. Dragon month seems like it's been a lot of work and then fairy month is next--make sure you're taking care of yourself!

Dragons were based on snakes. The english word for dragon comes from the greek word for serpent. Original tales has dragons breathe poison, not fire. Akin to a venomous snake.
Starly dragons from the east, though serpentine, are actually based on feathered coelurosaur bones. Also if you look at dragons like Smauk the Dragon he looks more like a hybrid of a Quetzalcoatlus, Giganotosaurus ,raptor, and plateosaurus than a snake
@@stegotyranno4206 The chinese character for eastern dragon (龍) is based on the design that of a snake aswell as the pronounciation (Long) being derived from the word for serpent. Not to mention eastern and western dragons are incredibly different, just that european travelers thought "oh hey these look our mythological dragons!" One of the major differences is that dragons are savage beasts who destroy everything in the west while dragons of the east are holy divine creatures. Smaug is from a book series that is less than a century old, so he can be based on dinosaurs since its actually way later than their discovery.
There's a cool theory for the Gen 4 Box legends that their secondary typings are based on the 3 stages of matter: Dragon/Water - Liquid, Dragon/Steel - Solid, and Dragon/Ghost - Gas
Okay, Altaria is one of if not my alltime favorite Pokemon, and I love that it’s dragon type. Okay, I know it’s not a good reason exactly, but it saved it from being another boring normal/flying type. I probably wouldn’t love it as much if it wasn’t dragon type

The strongest dragon type pokemon is eternatus without a doubt and that is because eternatus is a poison/dragon type legendary pokemon and eternatus is a skeleton dragon that has powers to control time and space and eternatus is basically a serpentine skeletal dragon that can kill You. So beware of eternatus.
@@kerrywien6775 your right but in my opinion the strongest dragon type is mega ray
Turtonator could also be based on Gamera, the Japanese pop culture character. Gamera is a kaiju like Godzilla, but instead of being a dinosaur, Gamera is a giant turtle that can turn the holes in it's shell into rocker jets, similar to how Turtonator can use his nose as a canon, has explosive spikes on his shell, and is overall shaped like comicbook explosion. If being a dinosaurs makes you a valid dragon type, so does being a kaiju
valid. i even feel like kaiju > dinosaur when it comes to dragon typing validity
Fun Fact
In New Pokémon Snap, Blastoise uses water to fly like Gamera
Gamera likes kids
@@justsomenumptygamera is really neat, he's full of turtle meat...
There's a thing in Chinese mythology called a dragon turtle. That would probably help to explain Turtonator.
Jer Gross I was thinking there was something like that.
There's also Tarasque from France, he's really turtle-like.
Also, it contains volcano-like powers... That's very draconic for me.
Bowser is a dragon turtle

As far as I know, Ampharos Dragon type was referencing his electric/dragon type from beta versions of Gold/Silver, hence the "long sleeping dragon blood".
On a similar note, I think that Raikou, Entei, and Suicune dying and being reborn is a reference to the Gold and Silver beta, where they look drastically different.
@@inkmaster5480 Actually, while that might be the case, they were, according to some in-game lore, three Pokémon that died during the Fire in Burned Tower, in Ecrutaek. Ho-oh brought them back to life. It's not stated if they were already these legendary beasts before being ressurected, or if such power came only as a result from being ressurected by Ho-oh, though.
Altaria also seems like it fits the "Dragons are Magical Creatures" schtick.
Though I do have a feeling that if the Fairy Type existed when Altaria was being designed, it would probably be Flying/Fairy instead of Dragon.
How about dragon/fairy??

Grammar
I think another reason for Altaria’s type comes from it’s name being a reference to King Arthur, or Alterian, Pendragon.
The English name doesn't inspire its typing. The typing inspires the name. Altaria wasn't going through the design process based on a name it eventually got from being renamed.
I think a possible reason for the type come from the fluffy cloudy things on it's body. They make it look somewhat like a fairy and since the fairy type didn't existed back then und fairies are mystical beeings just like dragons it got the dragon type.
I was thinking of Altaria getting it dragon type base on the eastern dragon the Storm dragon base on that usually appear in a storm cloud. and according to the myth most never seen it true form cause of how much cloud surround the dragon, but i also like the idea of the Pendragon typing
Maybe a cockatigle, Bird-like dragons, i mean, they are considered dragons too right?
I know what im naming my next Altaria.
I actually like the reason for Altaria being a dragon. It's kinda poetic and also very pretty having such a not at all obvious and hidden origin. I would actually appreciate if there where more pokemon like that.
FlareSilva Or it was that, as he said earlier in the video when discussing Amphoras, eastern dragons can be associated with clouds... and Altaria is basically a cloud
Looks like a fairy dragon actually

Honestly, Altaria is ok in my book as a dragon type, I think the draco constelation is a good reasoning for it's dragon type.
I'm for it cuz why does it have to have such a specific origin point for them to make it dragon-type? there isn't a specific dragon or type of dragon it's based on so it can't be dragon?

I know this video is 2 years old, but I feel like someone should make a sister video to this explaining how some non-dragon Pokemon *could* be dragon types based on their appearances and in-game descriptions.
But you said (with mega ampharos) that in eastern europe dragons are associated with clouds, and the first pokemon I thought of is Altaria! Did only I think about this?
Nah. I guess he overlooked that
Not only that, but the reference he lays out is super clever. I would never have thought of that.
thought the same, sheeps have way more genetical distance between reptiles/dinosaurs than birds, a cloudy bird has more sense to be called "dragon" rather than a cloudy two-footed sheep
No
Honestly though, Altaria being a dragon is cute. XD
I couldn't manage to deal with that fact until now.
He talked about that cloud dragon stuff when he was doing amphoros but why didn’t he talk about it when explaining altaria, which was far more fitting with that reasoning
What about Thundurus' Therian Forme as well? Both of those 2 seem to fit the category better than Mega Ampharos.
I was actually really surprised when I found out noibat was a dragon type. I thought it was a normal flying type and was really confused when I got a noibat dragon type card. I think it's because all the noibat cards I had before were colourless (normal and flying types) while noivern was dragon type
Also, I absolutely love altarias reason for being a dragon type although I'm biased. I love altaria, it was one of my first shiny pokemon

@@CyberchaoX
It's not as cool as Seahorse in Japanese meaning "Illegitimate Child of a Dragon."
'Denyru' is a fusion of the word for Electric Current & 'Born of/from a Dragon'

Turtonator has a really good reasoning for the Dragon typing, because in Asian cultures states that they're actually descendants of the 4 lion turtles that gave us our worlds 7 continent's and magical gifts, who were said to all be Dragon turtles
About Mega-Ampharos: "There are dragons [...] associated with clouds"
About Altaria: "It's a cloud bird!"
Birds are descendant from dinosaurs. They stand on their hindlegs and have wings on their forelimbs, effectively making them real life wyvern.
Also, how did you manage to talk about stars, not mentioning, that the name is a reference to "Altair", the brightest star in the Aguila ("EAGLE"!) constellation.
However, the point that really makes it dragon type for me is the similatiry to the Alkonost. Often referred to as "bird of happiness" it proclaims gods will in the russian orthodox church. Some say hearing it's song makes you forget everything around you, which is similar to many of Altarias dex entries, saying it leaves people who hear it's song in a "dreamlike state".
And a messenger of a god is no less dragon worthy than - say- Zygarde, based on Jörmungandr, which is just a big-ass snake, tasked to coil around the world to keep it safe.

You should do a vid on Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre! It sounds like they have a lot of interesting lore and inspiration behind them which would make an interesting video
One thing that can explain some Dragon reasoning is the whole idea of "Half bloods" Dragons in some stories do have children that are only half dragon but do maintain some dragon powers. While this is not the best way to bail out the pokemon, it does help some reasoning out when not looking fully dragon like.
I think anything reptilian could be a dragon "type", since a dragon type doesn't have to be a actual dragon, like how fire types don't have to be actual fire

Dragons were based on snakes. The english word for dragon comes from the greek word for serpent. Original tales has dragons breathe poison, not fire. Akin to a venomous snake.
Starly dragons from the east, though serpentine, are actually based on feathered coelurosaur bones.
Also if you look at dragons like Smauk the Dragon he looks more like a hybrid of a Quetzalcoatlus, Giganotosaurus ,raptor, and plateosaurus than a snake
@@stegotyranno4206 The chinese character for eastern dragon (龍) is based on the design that of a snake aswell as the pronounciation (Long) being derived from the word for serpent. Not to mention eastern and western dragons are incredibly different, just that european travelers thought "oh hey these look our mythological dragons!" One of the major differences is that dragons are savage beasts who destroy everything in the west while dragons of the east are holy divine creatures. Smaug is from a book series that is less than a century old, so he can be based on dinosaurs since its actually way later than their discovery.
