        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        Ladies and gentlemen, if you're looking for a Pokémon with the Dragon and Ground type combination, there's the Pseudo Legendary Garchomp and the Legendary Zygarde 100% (ignore the 10% doggo and 50% snek). 🏜️

        Flygon feels so silly once you've used the other two Pokémon stated above. 😅

        ⚔️ Raids

        🚨 PSA: Use Garchomp (better yet, Mega Garchomp) in Raid battles. Not Flygon! 🚨

        🛡️ Gyms

        A pretty average Gym defender, tbh. 😐

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        Flygon has quite a diverse moveset, and despite possessing underwhelming stats, it is surely a nice Pokémon to run in PvP. 🙂

        Note that Shadow Flygon is the better version for PvP, but the regular Flygon is good to go as well. 👍🏻

        🔵 Great League

        Sand Attack gives Flygon lightning-quick energy gains, allowing it to spam Dragon Claw after Dragon Claw. This pressurizes foes to use their shields, and when they are down, Flygon can blast them with Scorching Sands or Stone Edge. What a pretty picture! 😍

        On the flipside, Flygon isn't tanky, and that's okay. With Flygon, you gotta bring it to fight, burn shields, lower HP, and leave. Simple! 😌

        🟡 Ultra League

        Flygon is better off in this battlefield due to its stats syncing with the Ultra League better and impressing with its spammy performance. ⭐

        Add the ever-dependable Dragon Claw to Sand Attack and a nice choice between Scorching Sands and Stone Edge, and you have a very interesting Pokémon to use! Have fun with it! 😄

        🟣 Master League

        Garchomp exists in this meta, so Flygon doesn't do much here.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Flygon

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Flygon's Ground and Dragon-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Flygon.

        Ground Ground

        Dragon Dragon

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

                  In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Flygon, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                  To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                  Catch rate formula

                  Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                  • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                  • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                  There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                  Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
