Ghost moves don't affect Cyclizar at all — that's the advantage of Dragon/Normal typing. Regenerator recovers a third of its HP every time it switches out. Comfortably outruns most offensive threats. Known as the Mount Pokemon.
The stat budget goes to damage. Speed and Attack carry the offense, Defense doesn't even come close. A Mount Pokemon on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve, worth 2 Speed EVs per KO.
Apparently Cyclizar has been allowing people to ride on its back since ancient times. Depictions of this have been found in 10,000-year-old murals.
It can sprint at over 70 mph while carrying a human. The rider’s body heat warms Cyclizar’s back and lifts the Pokémon’s spirit.
Cyclizar Weakness
AvgCyclizar's Dragon/Normal typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice, Fighting, Dragon, and Fairy moves. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Cyclizar leans offensive (base 95 Atk) rather than trying to tank its weaknesses.
Cyclizar is what you get. No evolutions, but it breeds through one egg group with a massive partner pool. Hatching is slow to hatch.
How to Evolve
Breed Cyclizar easily with 278 breeding partners from the Ground egg group.
U-turn keeps your team's momentum going. Cyclizar doesn't need to stay in long, Assault Vest provides a special bulk boost with no status moves allowed and flexible EVs EVs make every visit count. Rapid Spin threatens on the way out. Regenerator adds passive value.

Regenerator changes the entire equation for Cyclizar. The 501 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked A-Tier as a pivot.
Cyclizar doesn't evolve and has no evolutionary line. It's a Dragon/Normal-type Pokemon with strong stats at 501 BST — no evolution needed.
Regenerator is what you want on Cyclizar. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Shed Skin) work on paper but Regenerator is what makes Cyclizar worth using.
Base 121 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Cyclizar is a mixed attacker — base 95 Attack and 85 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
Cyclizar can be found in Legends: Z-A and Scarlet & Violet.
