      Recommended moves

      Ah, Bagon! You throw yourself off cliffs in hopes of flying. Keep it up, little dragon! 🐲 For now, you better not try your hand (or claw?) in PvE. 🙂

      ⚔️ Raids

      Dragon types are some of the hardest-hitting monsters in Pokémon GO, so the first stage of a three-stage evolution line like Bagon won’t have any impact whatsoever. 😅

      🛡️ Gyms

      Low bulk ensures that Bagon can’t cut it as a Gym defender.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      🧸 Little Cup

      Bagon lacks a Dragon-type Fast Move, and its only STAB Charged Move is the terrible Twister. 🤢 Aside from being fragile, it’s stuck with moves like Ember, Crunch, and Flamethrower, all of which make Bagon bad, very bad in PvP. 👎

      🔵 Great League

      Bagon’s horrendous moveset and poor stats don’t allow it to be useful in Great League. 🫤

      🟡 Ultra League

      Bagon maxes out at 1307 CP; there’s no way it’s going to work in Ultra League! 😅

      🟣 Master League

      Leaping from a cliff is less risky than running Bagon in the Master League! 😬
