Vibrava (Japanese: ビブラーバ Vibrava) is a Ground/Dragon-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Vibrava is a dragonfly-like Pokémon. It has a skinny, yellow body, and green, rhombus-shaped wings (along with two similar-looking shapes at the end of its tail). Vibrava has green eyes and skinny black legs.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Vibrava is capable of emitting and manipulating sound waves from its wings. This ability has been tuned to the point where this Pokémon is able to induce headaches in humans. It also has having the ability Levitate. This allows Vibrava to dodge Template:Type2 attacks such as Earthquake and Magnitude. Oddly enough, it's physical-attacking power is actually weaker than Trapinch's.
As a true Dragon-type Pokémon, Vibrava can learn Draco Meteor.
Behavior
Upon evolution, Vibrava gains the ability of limited flight. However, its wings are not fully mature, and are ineffective at flying any significant distance. Although they are not this Pokémon's primary method of locomotion, they are their primary method of prey capture. By vibrating its wings rapidly, it produces ultrasonic waves. These waves are quite powerful, and can cause their prey to faint. Fortunately these waves usually do not more damage than a headache in humans.
Habitat
Vibrava live in deserts.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
Vibrava hunts by vibrating its wings at high frequency. Once its prey has fainted, it injects it with potent venom.
In the anime
Vibrava first appeared in Beg, Burrow and Steal. Dozens of Trapinch were seen evolving into them at an underground lake. Team Rocket made a failed attempt to steal the Antlion Pokémon despite the fact the idea Meowth had of using their previous forms as nut-crackers was now foiled. The Vibrava helped Ash, May, Max, Brock, Hal and Elisa out of the underground labyrinth.
A coordinator named Brianna used a Vibrava in the battle round of the Pokémon Contest in Spontaneous Combusken. Vibrava were also used by random coordinators in Hi Ho Silver Wind and Harley Rides Again.

To make prey faint, Vibrava generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This Pokémon's ultrasonic waves are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.
|
| Sapphire
|
Vibrava's wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.
|
| Emerald
|
It looses ultrasonic waves by rubbing its wings together. Since a Vibrava's wings are still in the process of growing, it can only fly short distances.
|
| FireRed
|
It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.

Vibrava's name is probably based on the word vibrate, to shake.
In other languages
- German: Vibrava
- French: Vibraninf - The last syllable, ninf, could be a corruption of nymph. A nymph for Vibrava's case means an immature stage for a species of "true bug" as Vibrava isn't fully grown yet.
- Korean: 비브라바 Vibrava
