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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Ice |

Scarlet & Violet 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 50 partners from the Bug and Dragon egg groups.
Scarlet & Violet Flygon Best Moveset
One boost from Dragon Dance and Flygon gets dangerous fast. The Jolly nature targets max Attack and Speed, and Levitate backs the whole approach. Earthquake and double STAB handle most of what's left standing.

Hard to wall, honestly. Flygon threatens 11 types beyond its own STAB, with Bug and Normal standing out. Pair that with Draco Meteor and Outrage and switchins need to think twice.

How to Get Flygon in Scarlet & Violet
Flygon can't be caught in Scarlet & Violet. Transfer Trapinch from Ruby, Emerald, or Brilliant Diamond and evolve through the 3-stage chain to get it. The step cards below map the full chain.
Flygon Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, 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 A-Tier as a sweeper. Earthquake with Loaded Dice is the standard set.
In Scarlet & Violet, 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 Scarlet & Violet, 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 Scarlet & Violet, 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.
