Lance was probably a former member of Team Rocket and felt guilty about the Dragonites he has under their evolution level.
My theory on why some pokemon can be evolved at earlier levels is that pokemon evolve based on the strength of the trainer. Lance has a true dragons heart so his dragons will evolve sooner that yours, while you (the player) have the pokemon masters soul meaning you can catch and train anything, reaching thier max potential later than many power single type trainers.
Lance was investigating Team Rocket's use of forced evolution... FOR HIMSELF!
To be fair on the underlevel part In S&M you can get a level 10 salamance by reinforcement from early game bagons. Pokemon evolving at certain levels are thrown out the window with this, as a salamance is a level 50 evo That or he got a random encounter one and its a NPC version of the game that has it

Sinnoh is notorious for this as well There's a farmer father and daughter trainer duo of NPCS in the very tall grass in Route 210. The thing is they have lv 21 Skunky and Glameow. Sounds normal. However in Platinum, it's a lv 24 Ponyta and RAPIDASH. Y'know, the evolution of Ponyta you can't get until level *FORTY.* Your rival Barry ain't off the hook, either, because if you didn't pick Turtwig, he'll always have a Ponyta, but in Platinum, he evolved it when you fight him in Canalave City. Except it's lv *35,* which, again, is NOT RAPIDASH'S REQUIRED LEVEL. They fixed this in BDSP, but for some unGODLY reason, Barry doesn't evolve his Ponyta until before the POKÉMON LEAGUE. Like you telling me the world is in danger from Team Galactic at Spear Pillar, but you don't fully evolve your Pokémon to give yourself a better chance to stop them?? Especially after your *"character development"* loss against Juniper back up North after we beat the 7th Gym?! 🤦

@@tatsumakivee4201 ....Ok. That's not a very helpful moveset without serious backup.
Lance’s Dragonite with Barrier definitely should have had Reflect; all Pokemon in Red/Blue have their moveset almost entirely determined by their natural level up learnset, but each member of the Elite 4 changes one move on their Pokemon to a TM move, though not usually a very good one. Lorelei’s Lapras gets Blizzard (which is great), while Bruno’s Machamp gets Fissure (which only works if you’re faster, so almost never for Machamp), and Agatha’s second Gengar gets Toxic (which isn’t great in Gen 1 to begin with but especially when it’s on the Pokemon you always send out last). Lance’s Dragonite is also his last Pokemon and also gets one move overwritten, but it gets Barrier instead of a TM move. Reflect in Gen 1 does almost the same thing as Barrier and it makes way more sense to assume it was supposed to be that. Also, fun fact, your final rival fight is special because he changes two moves; his opening Pidgeot gains the terrible Sky Attack, while his starter gains Fire Blast/Blizzard/Mega Drain depending on which one he chose.

In Generation VI, there was an event Dragonite with Barrier specifically based on Lance's illegal Dragonite from Red, Green, and Blue. That is the only context in which it has ever been able to learn the move legitimately.
Blue Flame Litwick on the battle train will never stop being funny to me, because it's almost like Gamefreak is admitting it really shoud be a move known by mons other than just Reshiram in its own debute generation.

My thoughts on this are different trainers are able to raise pokemon differently. Like how before home changed how pokemon kept movesets. In some games your could only learn some moves.

They put themselves in a tough situation in Gen 1. There were only 3 dragons, all of the same evolutionary line, and they hyped dragons up to be the most powerful. So it made sense that they wanted him to be the champion. They were then stuck with making a formidable yet interesting team with realistically 2 pokemon to choose from. Realistically, it would have been much more appropriate to have Sabrina take his place and demote someone else like Agatha or Lorelei. Personally, I think Lorelei works better since Agatha overlaps a bit with Koga in regards to typing and strategy. P.s. Bruno is clearly the worst, but he's also way too similar to Brock and the fighting dojo, so that would also be awkward. I feel like Lorelei is the only option unless you demote Lance.
