Flygon

Flygon (; Japanese: ) is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. It is the evolved form of Vibrava, which evolves from Trapinch. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it has since appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise. While Trapinch is a pure Ground type, Vibrava and Flygon are Ground and Dragon. Flygon has been positively received for its design since inception, though many found its stats underwhelming. It was originally going to receive a Mega Evolution, but was scrapped due to artists block, which has also led to criticism.

==Concept and creation== Flygon is a species of fictional creatures called Pokémon created for the Pokémon media franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the Japanese franchise began in 1996 with the video games Pokémon Red and Green for the Game Boy, which were later released in North America as Pokémon Red and Blue in 1998. In these games and their sequels, the player assumes the role of a Trainer whose goal is to capture and use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon. Some Pokémon can transform into stronger species through a process called evolution via various means, such as exposure to specific items. Each Pokémon have one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and disadvantages when battling other Pokémon. A major goal in each game is to complete the Pokédex, a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading with other Trainers to obtain individuals from all Pokémon species.
