Flygon is a Ground/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in the third generation (R/S/E). It appears to be based around a cricket in the form of a dragon. According to the in-game PokeDex entries, it is nicknamed "the elemental spirit of the desert." Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a sandstorm while flying. The flapping of its wings also sounds like singing, and since it is the only sound heard during these sandstorms, it gained its nickname. The sandstorm it creates also acts as protection to prevent being detected by enemies. Its eyes have red covers to shield its eyes from dust and sand. It and Garchomp have the same type, and are the only Pokémon of it. Inevitably they are in competition for a team slot. Garchomp is considered vastly superior to Flygon in many ways, particularly its massive and outstanding stats, particularly Attack and Speed, and its ability to boost its offense. As a result, Flygon sees little use in the OU tier. However it still occupies its own niche in the lower tiers.

Game Appearances
Flygon has appeared in every hand-held Pokémon game since Ruby and Sapphire, but has to be traded to FireRed and LeafGreen.
Locations
Evolution
Flygon is the final evolution in the Trapinch family. Trapinch evolves into Vibrava at Level 35, and Vibrava evolves into Flygon at Level 45. While evolving from Trapinch into Vibrava, the Pokemon changes colour from orange to green, and gains the ability of "Levitate". It also receives the Dragon Type.
Type Effectiveness
Flygon's Ground/Dragon typing grants it several useful resistances, yet harming it with a horrible Ice-type weakness. Its powerful STAB makes up for this, however.

Flygon is weak against attacks of the following Types:
Resistances
Flygon resists attacks of the following Types:
Immunities
Flygon is immune to the following types due to its type and ability:
Ability
Flygon has the ability "Levitate" which gives it immunity to Ground attacks. Pokémon with this ability are also immune to Spikes, Toxic Spikes and the Arena Trap ability. Levitate is disabled when Flygon is holding the Iron Ball item, but unlike other Pokémon who use the Flying-Type attack, Roost, Flygon retains its immunity to Ground attacks. Along with its ability to Roost, this is what differentiates Flygon from the OU Garchomp.
Physical Appearance
Flygon is a green dragon based loosely on crickets and grasshoppers. It appears to be based around a 'traditional' Western/European dragon, with six limbs (two wings, two arms, and two legs). Flygon's body is primarily a lime green colour and appears to be covered in scales. It has two long antennae/horns which are of a deeper green, and stem from between its eyes. A red protective covering shields its eyes from dust and sand. It has three claws on each hand, and two wings which are diamond shaped. Its wings are outlined with a red like the coverings over its eyes, and are green like the rest of its body. It has large feet without claws which have a dark green portion over the ends. Its thighs also have a dark green area. Its tail is long and striped with dark green bands, and spouts into three diamond-shaped structures which are coloured the same as its wings.
Shiny
The Shiny Flygon has a colour scheme similar to the non-shiny. The lime green of its body stays the same,however all portions that were red become orange, and all dark green portions have become an electric blue colour.
Gender Differences
In the shift from the third generation to the fourth, Flygon did not receive any physical differences between males and females.
