Bagon (タツベイ) is the 187th Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. It is a Dragon type, and is known as the Rock Head Pokémon.

Bagon has the Rock Head Ability, which makes it immune to the effects of recoil from moves that cause recoil, with the exception of Struggle. A second Ability is available to Bagon from the Dream World, the Sheer Force Ability. This Ability gives attacks that have a secondary effect a 33% Increase in power, but those attacks lose their secondary effect as a result.

Bagon gains the opportunity to evolve into a Shelgon at Level 30, and can evolve a second time at Level 50 into a Salamence.

Bagon is in the Dragon Egg Group, and its Egg takes approximately 10,240 Steps to hatch. It takes Bagon 1,250,000 Experience Points to reach Level 100.

Bagon appears at the North End of Route 210 in Pearl and Platinum when using the Poké Radar. Bagon can also be found at the Safari Zone's Swamp area in Heart Gold and Soul Silver after placing 9 Forest Objects & 19 Peak Objects, then waiting 110 Days from their initial placement for a Bagon to appear, the longest wait time for all Pokémon that appear by way of block placement in the Safari Zone.

Bagon appears at White Forest in Pokémon White. In Black 2 and White 2, Bagon can be found inside a Hidden Grotto at Pinwheel Forest.

In each game that a Bagon appears in, a wild Bagon has a 5% chance of holding a Dragon-related item. In the Generation III games it has a 5% chance of holding a Dragon Scale; from Generation IV onward it has a 5% chance of holding a Dragon Fang.

[edit] Spin-off Games

Bagon doesn't appear often, but when it does, it'll be at Huge Storage 5 and Mr. Who's Den in Pokémon Trozei!.
