Flygon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon 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 mixed attacker with base 100 Attack and 80 Sp. Atk. Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Earthquake, Dragonclaw, U Turn, and Dragon Dance. Earthquake leads at 0% usage. Earthquake provides reliable STAB damage.
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.
