Headcanons about Gyarados, Magikarp, and Dratini?
Iām in a Magikarp buzz, so Iām more than happy to give some headcanons.
Magikarp come in a multitude of colors, color combinations, and patterns. This also applies to gyarados.
Itās thought that a school of Magikarp, after jumping to their highest peak and falling back down, have caused a regional drift. Itās an outlandish theory, but considering that it can jump high enough and fall fast enough to create a mini crater itās not out of the realm of possibilities.
A trained Gyarados is less aggressive compared to a wild Gyarados, however, right after evolution, itās trainer will need to tame it to calm down.
Thereās a famous Gyarados that plays the roll of Skulkraken (the PokĆ©mon equivalent of Godzilla) in a way that no other Gyarados can. Behind the scenes, this Gyardos is actually quite friendly and apologizes to cast members during stunt scenes.
Magikarp has one of the longest lifespans compared to any other PokƩmon
Despite it looking quite simple, Magikarp is somewhat high-maintenance. Each Magikarp has different preferences, so itās sort of a trial and error process to get it right.
Dratini has such beautiful scales, as do most of the Dratini line. Up close, you can see it has iridescent scales.
In the Galar region, dratini is considered to be a myth or cryptid with only vague sightings of the creature
Thereās a very rare mutation in which dratini can grow arms and legs, though the limbs are short. This passes over to dragonair, but it doesnāt really majorly affect Dragonite other than the potential webbed claws.
Dratini has been know to cause tiny weather shifts based on its mood, like freezing lakes, short hail, one bolt of thunder, etc.
