Flygon

Intro Trivia[]

Upgrade Flygon has received updated trivia and/or battle strategy.
The updated trivia and/or battle strategy can be found here.
  • Flygon is classified as the Mystic Pokémon, and is known as the "Elemental Spirit of the Desert".
  • It gets this name from the humming noise its wings make when beating at a fast rate.
  • Flygon's fast beating wings kick up a lot of sand, which is why Flygon has specialized lenses on its eyes to help it see in the sand.
  • It gives off a very elusive vibe, due to being rarely seen because of the sand it kicks up, and the humming noise of its wings.

Pokémon Entymology[]

Pokemon Entymology - Flygon
  • A common misconception is that Flygon is based off of a Dragonfly, due to its name and typing.
  • Dragonfly larva are known as nymphs, and live underwater.
  • They hunt while underwater, and emerge as dragonflies during spring-time.
  • While adult dragonflies no longer live in water, they still stay near water sources, as it is a primary source of food for them.
  • This just doesn't match up with Flygon's evolutionary chain.
  • The line instead appears to be more related to that of the Antlion.
  • Antlion larva are stout, wide-bodied creatures with a large jaw, that create sand-pit traps. This is very similar to Trapinch.
  • Vibrava looks very similar to an adult antlion.
  • The similarities between Dragonflies and Antlions, often give Antlions the nickname "Sand Dragons", which fits incredibly well with the Flygon line.
