As is the case with most {{TCG|deck archetype}}s, the exact origin of the deck is unknown. Soon after the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion was released, many players immediately recognized {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Flygon|5}}'s potential as an attacker and began attempting to combine it with a variety of supporting Pokémon, including {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Hippowdon LV.X|107}} and {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Weavile|40}}. However, the combination most often successful was with {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Nidoqueen|30}}. Nidoqueen's {{TCG|Poké-BODY}}, ''Maternal Comfort'', was extremely useful for a Pokémon as {{tt|bulky|possessing many Hit Points}} as Flygon, and Nidoqueen could also be a strong attacker in a pinch. | As is the case with most {{TCG|deck archetype}}s, the exact origin of the deck is unknown.

The deck has placed highly in a number of tournaments, including the 2009 {{wp|United States}} [[Premier Events (TCG)#National Championships|National Championships]], the 2009 [[Premier Events (TCG)#Last Chance Qualifier|Last Chance Qualifier]], and the subsequent 2009 [[Premier Events (TCG)#World Championships|World Championships]]. | The deck has placed highly in a number of tournaments, including the 2009 {{wp|United States}} [[Premier Events (TCG)#National Championships|National Championships]], the 2009 [[Premier Events (TCG)#Last Chance Qualifier|Last Chance Qualifier]], and the subsequent 2009 [[Premier Events (TCG)#World Championships|World Championships]]. It has continued to be a prominent deck through the 2009-2008 TCG season, although it has been overshadowed by the dominance of {{TCG|Pokémon SP|SP}} decks such as {{TCG|LuxChomp}}. Although Flygon variants are still popular, Mother Flygon has seen less usage, as more players have been teching in fast secondary attackers to give Flygon a {{tt|donk|turn-1 or turn-2 victory}} option and a greater chance against SP decks. | ||
