Flygon (Japanese: フライゴン Flygon) 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 insect-like Pokémon resembling a bipedal dragonfly, primarily light green in color. Flygon has a pair of large green rhombus-shaped wings with a red trim, toeless hind legs and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae which point back.
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 flaps its wings at incredibly high speed, which also allows it to fly at unmatched speed.
Also like Vibrava, Flygon also gains access to 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, the incredible speed this Pokémon flies with, and the reduction of sight in a sandstorm, 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, along with the Gligar-line, are the only evolutionary lines to have no Template:Type2 Pokémon and be in the Bug Egg Group.
- Similarly, Vibrava and Flygon are the only Template:Type2 Pokémon not in the Dragon 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.
- Their evolutionary line, along with the Gligar-line, are the only evolutionary lines to have no Template:Type2 Pokémon and be in the Bug Egg Group.
- Flygon shares the same species name with Xatu. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
- Like Haxorus and Aggron, 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 base form, Trapinch.
- All of Vibrava's base stats go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into Flygon.
- Flygon's EV Yield (1 Attack, 2 Speed) is unique.
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.
