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.
By flapping their wings, Flygon cause sandstorms that conceal Krookodile. The team then splits the prey they catch.
People continue to have their hearts stolen by its enchanting songs and find themselves stranded in the desert.
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.

Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 11 types beyond its own STAB, with Normal and Dark standing out. Pair that with Draco Meteor and Outrage and switchins need to think twice.

How to Get Flygon in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
No wild encounters for Flygon. The 3-stage chain runs through Trapinch, which you can catch at moderate rates from the locations below. Evolve at level 45 once you've got the levels.
Flygon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra 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.
