Trainer Tips

Flygon is a Ground/Dragon-type Pokemon with a stat total of 563. With its high Attack stat (205), Flygon is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Be careful of Flygon's double weakness to Ice-type moves, which deal 156% increased damage. Opponents with these move types can take down Flygon very quickly.

Flygon's moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Windy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Flygon is a Ground/Dragon-type Pokemon with base stats of 205/168/190 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,008. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Flygon may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Flygon deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
