Drew's Flygon is more notable and has had more appearances than all of Harrison's Pokémon. It is also more notable than Horacio's Vikavolt and others. It definitely deserves to have its own page.

'''Drew's Flygon''' (Japanese: '''シュウのフライゴン''' ''Shū's Flygon'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Drew]]. | |||
==History== | |||
===Hoenn=== | |||
[[File:Drew and Flygon.png|thumb|left|250px|Flygon and Drew]] | |||
Flygon debuted in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'' during the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where it was first used in a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] along with {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} against [[May's Combusken]] and {{TP|May|Skitty}} in the quarterfinals of the competition. {{an|May}} showed surprise upon seeing the {{pkmn|category|Mystic Pokémon}} and Drew informed her that he had raised Flygon specifically for the [[Grand Festival]]. During the battle, Flygon took advantage of the open-air stage, soaring in the sky in order to avoid the [[Move|attacks]] of its opponents. Its teamwork with Roselia also proved useful, since Roselia was able to ride on its back to evade being hit by Skitty's {{m|Blizzard}}. When the five-minute time limit expired, it was revealed that Flygon and Roselia had advanced Drew to the next round, as he was shown to have depleted all of May's points while losing only half of his own. | |||
Later, Flygon was used alongside Masquerain against {{ho|Robert}}'s {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Claydol}} in the semifinals. The two struggled against Robert's Pokémon and were taken aback by Claydol coming from inside Milotic's {{m|Twister}} ready to fire {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Before they could recover from the surprise attack, Milotic hit them with {{m|Iron Tail}} just as time ran out. When the scoreboard was shown, it was revealed that Flygon and Masquerain had been unable to bring Drew the victory, and he was eliminated from the competition. | |||
===Kanto=== | |||
In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', Flygon helped Drew pursue a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arcanine}} he was attempting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. Due to May also being interested in catching the {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, Drew was challenged to a battle, which ended quickly once [[May's Squirtle]] began to cry after it was hit with Steel Wing. Following that, Drew went after Arcanine, only to find it feeding {{Berries}} to a litter of {{p|Growlithe}}. When {{TRT}} appeared and trapped the Growlithe and Arcanine in a net, Flygon used Steel Wing to destroy their {{DL|Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth Balloon}} and cut the net, freeing the Pokémon. It then used Flamethrower to avoid getting hit by [[Jessie's Dustox]]'s {{m|Poison Sting}} and protected Squirtle from [[James's Cacnea]]'s Sandstorm. Flygon and Squirtle then joined forces to send Team Rocket blasting off. | |||
[[File:Drew Absol and Flygon.png|thumb|280px|Flygon at the Kanto Grand Festival with Absol]] | |||
In ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'', Flygon was used along with {{p|Absol}} in the quarterfinals of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], where it went up against May's Combusken and Squirtle. The battle started with Flygon kicking up a Sandstorm, which May anticipated and answered by commanding Combusken to use {{m|Mega Kick}}. However, Drew asked Absol to enter the sand tornado and use {{m|Flash}} from there in an attempt to temporarily blind Combusken and stop the attack in its tracks. The strategy worked and Absol was able to hit Combusken with Iron Tail. | |||
In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', as the battle continued, Drew ordered his Pokémon to use Dragon Formation, a [[Contest combination|combination]] he had devised involving Absol's {{m|Razor Wind}} and Flygon's Dragon Breath. The move collaboration impressed [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], who named it "Dragon Razor Wind". It also caught {{cat|May's Pokémon}} by surprise and they were unable to evade it. After that, Drew planned on delivering a simultaneous {{type|Steel}} blow, with Flygon using Steel Wing and Absol using Iron Tail. However, May countered with a combination of her own, asking Combusken to use {{m|Fire Spin}} and Squirtle to use {{m|Bubble}} in order to create a whirlwind of fire and water. The technique, which was inspired by the one used by {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} of the [[Battle Dome]] in his battle with {{Ash}}, cost Drew some points. When Flygon tried to stop Squirtle's {{m|Rapid Spin}} by using Steel Wing, Squirtle dodged it and attacked with Bubble before firing a [[Type#Type effectiveness|super effective]] {{m|Ice Beam}}, which rendered Flygon unable to continue battling and prompted the [[Contest Judge]]s to rule {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for it, leaving Drew with only Absol. Despite this, Drew thanked Flygon for its help, saying it had battled well. | |||
==Personality and characteristics== | |||
Flygon was raised specifically to be used in a battle against {{an|May}} in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. The battle took place in the quarterfinals of said event and was won by Drew. Since then, Flygon has been one of Drew's most reliable Pokémon in his {{pkmn|journey}} to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. | |||
Flygon has consistently shown to be an excellent partner in [[Double Battle]]s. It has been paired up with [[Drew's Roselia]], {{p|Masquerain}}, and {{p|Absol}}, as well as [[May's Squirtle]]. Although its [[move]]s have been described as beautiful and refined by [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] and {{an|Brock}}, respectively, Drew was never shown using Flygon in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]] of a [[Pokémon Contest]], preferring to rely on Flygon's battle prowess for the [[Contest Battle]]s. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
* Drew's fan [[Brianna]] has a {{p|Vibrava}}, the pre-evolved form of Flygon. This emphasizes her admiration of him and his Pokémon. | |||
* The design of Drew's [[Kanto]] [[Ribbon]] case is based on that of Flygon. | |||
