Flygon (Japanese: フライゴン Frygon) 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, because Flygon's type is Dragon, it gains access to Template:Type2 moves just like its Pre-evolution, Vibrava.
Also like Vibrava, Flygon also gains access to the most powerful Dragon-type move, Draco Meteor.
Behavior
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert. It's also known as "the spirit of the desert" due to the sound its wings make in sandstorms. 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, Vibrava share several characteristics usually associated with types other than theirs:
- Their evolutionary line is one of two, along with the Gligar-line, to have no Template:Type2 Pokémon and be in the Bug Egg Group.
- They are the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not Fire nor Template:Type2 and can learn Heat Wave, with the exception of Smeargle.
- They are the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not Template:Type2 and can learn Fly, with the exception of Pikachu, Smeargle, Goruugu, and Ulgamoth.
- Flygon shares the same species name with Xatu. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
- Flygon is commonly mistaken as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, due to the fact that it is seen as powerful in the anime, is the final stage in a 3 part evolutionary line and is a Dragon-type Pokémon. This is not the case because it does not have base stat total of 600.
- Flygon has the same base attack as its pre-evolution, Trapinch.
- All of Vibrava's base stats go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into Flygon.
Origin
Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the antlion, which highly resembles a dragonfly. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Flygon could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's interesting typing.
Name origin
Flygon's name is a portmanteau of fly and dragon or a rearrangement of dragonfly.
