Flygon#330

No stat stands out enough here to force a single team role on this species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. Defensively it can rely on 3 weaknesses, 3 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Ice type — damage from it is quadrupled.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Speed.

Attack and Speed share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (100) is 20 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 84% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it

Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 UU is one tier lower: it is played without the Pokémon most often used in OU, so the same species hold completely different places here.

Rank 138 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.23% of teams.

Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.

Pokédex entry

FLYGON is nicknamed “the elemental spirit of the desert.” Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this POKéMON is always enveloped in a sandstorm while flying.

TCG cards (20)

All Flygon cards →

Flygon has 20 cards in 16 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

Offspring can come from 158 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
