Question

It cant learn any flying type moves and it only makes it weaker...

Comments

I guess it protects against ground type moves

It learns bounce.

Answer 1

Well the reason why Gyarados is a water/flying is because originally they planned to make Gyarados a water/dragon but the problem was that he would only have 1 weakness (dragon) and at the time of the 1st generation there was only 1 dragon move(Dragon Rage). because they wanted to balance Gyarados they changed it into water/flying

Hopes this explains why Gyarados is water/flying.
