Vibrava (Japanese: ビブラーバ Vibrava) is a dual-type Ground/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Trapinch starting at level 35 and evolves into Flygon starting at level 45.
Biology
Vibrava is a dragonfly-like Pokémon. It has a small head with two yellow antennae and green bulging eyes with black oval-shaped pupils. Its mouth has two large white teeth protruding from each side. It has a skinny yellow body, four skinny black legs with slender feet, and four green, rhombus-shaped wings with black edges. There are similarly-colored rhombus shapes at the end of its tail. Vibrava's wings are not fully developed, so it is unable to fly very far. However, it is able to create vibrations and ultrasonic waves with its wings. Humans get headaches from these waves. After causing prey to faint, as a saprotroph, it spits stomach acid to melt its prey before consumption. Vibrava calls the desert home and is also known to preserve its captured prey in the desert's hot sands.
In the anime
Major appearances
Multiple Vibrava made their main series debut in Beg, Burrow and Steal. Dozens of Trapinch were seen evolving into them at an underground lake. Team Rocket made a failed attempt to steal the Vibration Pokémon despite the fact the idea Meowth had of using their previous forms as nut-crackers was now foiled. The Vibrava helped Ash, May, Max, Brock, Hal, and Elisa out of the underground labyrinth.
A Vibrava appeared in Spontaneous Combusken, under the ownership of Brianna. It was used in the Battle Stage of the Chrysanthemum Contest.

Trivia
- All of Vibrava's base stats go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into Flygon.
- Vibrava shares its category with Palpitoad and Seismitoad. They are all known as the Vibration Pokémon.
- Vibrava and its evolution are the only Dragon-type Pokémon belonging in the Bug Egg Group.
- Vibrava's base Attack stat is lower than that of its pre-evolution, but it returns to the original stat when it evolves into Flygon.
Origin
Vibrava represents the adult stage of an antlion, though it seems to draw more visual inspiration from mayflies (possibly nodding to the Japanese word for an adult antlion, usuba-kagerou, or "thin-winged mayfly"). Combined with an antlion's resemblance to a dragonfly, Vibrava's typing suggests that it may also draw inspiration from sanddragons.
Name origin
Vibrava may be a combination of vibrate (to shake rapidly) and larva. It may also derive from Vibra.
