Flygon (Japanese: フライゴン Flygon) is a dual-type Ground/Dragon Pokémon.

It evolves from Vibrava starting at level 45. It is the final form of Trapinch.

Biology

Physiology

Flygon is a large, light green, insect-like dragon Pokémon. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three green rhombus shapes at the end. Flygon has a pair of green rhombus-shaped wings, toeless hind legs and three-clawed hands. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Aside from being able to kick up sandstorms, Flygon's other ability is Levitate, which allows it to avoid Ground attacks such as Earthquake or Magnitude. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped.

Behavior

This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert, these adaptations have given it the nickname "the elemental spirit of the desert". When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

Habitat

Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to trainers, mainly from evolved Vibrava, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a Trapinch.

Trivia

• Flygon and its pre-evolution are the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not Template:Type2 and can learn Fly, with the exception of Smeargle.

• Flygon and Vibrava are also the only Pokémon that can learn Fly that can also know Dig without aid of a TM (other than Smeargle).

• As of Pokémon Platinum, Flygon and Vibrava are also the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not Template:Type2 or Template:Type2 and can learn Heat Wave, with the exception of Smeargle.
• Flygon shares the same species name with Xatu. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
• Flygon shares the same type combination with Gible, Gabite, and Garchomp, though the type order is reversed (the Garchomp line is Dragon/Ground, while Flygon is Ground/Dragon).
• Although the Pokémon Ruby Pokédex entry states that Flygon is always enveloped in a Sandstorm when flying, it doesn't have the ability Sand Stream.
  • Also, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon it says: "If the going gets too rough, I duck and hide in a sandstorm!". It doesn't have the ability Sand Veil however.

Origin

Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the antlion, also called "sand dragon".

Name origin

Flygon's name is a combination of fly and dragon or a rearrangement of dragonfly.

In other languages

• German: Libelldra - A combination of Libelle (dragonfly) and Drache (dragon).
• French: Libegon
• Korean: 플라이곤 Flygon
