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.

[@AneitaLT]

@@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.

[@ostensiblyaverage5576]

@@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.

[@gsks1905]

@@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.

[@EnjinSosei]

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.

[@thomashanson9173]

To me, that would be more boring. I love the idea of a bird being considered a dragon.

Steel covers all of Dragons weaknesses defensively and is super effective against two of them, Fairy and Ice. Poison only helps against Fairy. Dialga is only weak to Fighting and Ground and has an immunity, while Eternatus is weak to Ground, Psychic, Ice and Dragon and has no immunity. Also, Eternatus doesn't have time/space powers.

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. Altaria is also likely based on that Belgium play featuring a magical bluebird which further makes it mythical plus, there's already a bird dragon like you mentioned so why not make it a dragon.

You forgot the most important reason Mega Ampharos is dragon type: It is part Fabio. The fabulousness gives it dragon powers.

[@Woodland_Wizard]

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.

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.
