Stats & Training
Flygon's stats barely vary. 6 sit in respectable range with no real gaps. It's a blank slate for EV investment. Worth 3 Attack and Speed EVs, 1.06M XP medium-slow curve to max.
The flapping of its wings sounds something like singing. Those lured by the sound are enveloped in a sandstorm, becoming Flygon’s prey.
This Pokémon hides in the heart of sandstorms it creates and seldom appears where people can see it.
Flygon Weakness
Type-wise, Flygon takes extra damage from Ice, Dragon, and Fairy. Watch out for Ice attacks, those deal 4x damage. Electric moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 80 HP and balanced defenses, Flygon can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Sun & Moon Evolution
Flygon is the final form in a three-stage chain from Trapinch through Vibrava. Breeding this form produces Trapinch eggs (average hatch time). Evolving from Trapinch gave Flygon the biggest boost in Speed (+90), bringing the total to 520 stats. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Flygon to get Trapinch eggs easily using 77 partners from the Bug and Dragon egg groups. Notable egg moves include Bug Bite, Earth Power, Endure and 7 more.
Sun & Moon Flygon Best Moveset
One boost from Dragon Dance and Flygon gets dangerous fast. The Hasty nature targets max Attack and Speed, and Levitate backs the whole approach. Earthquake and the remaining moves handle most of what's left standing.

Hard to wall, honestly. Flygon threatens 10 types beyond its own STAB, with Normal and Dark standing out. Pair that with Draco Meteor and Earthquake and switchins need to think twice.

How to Get Flygon in Sun & Moon
You're catching Trapinch first, not Flygon. Trapinch appears at moderate rates in the encounters below. The step cards map the full 3-stage chain with evolution methods between each stage.
Flygon Guide
In Sun & Moon, Don't let Flygon's 520 base stat total fool you. Levitate is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier as a sweeper. Earthquake with Dragoniumz is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, Run Levitate on Flygon. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. With base 100 Speed, Levitate gives Flygon an edge before opponents can react.
In Sun & Moon, Flygon fills the sweeper role. It's a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Sun & Moon, the best way to handle Flygon: Priority moves (Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, Ice Shard) bypass its speed. Bulky walls that resist its STAB also shut it down.
Game Availability
Flygon first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and has been available in 15 games across 8 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
