Flygon Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, 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 Choice Scarf is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, 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 Black 2 & White 2, 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.
For Black 2 & White 2, the core moveset is Earthquake, U Turn, Outrage, and Stone Edge. Earthquake leads at 0% usage. Earthquake provides reliable STAB damage.
