Levitate |
Choice Band
Choice Scarf |
Flygon's only ability is Levitiate. This makes it immune to anything that requires Flygon to be grounded, like Ground-type attacks, Terrain, or grounded hazards like Toxic Spikes.
The item chosen for this build can either be a Choice Band or a Choice Scarf. If you prioritize Attack, then go with a Choice Band. If you prioritize Speed, then go with a Choice Scarf.
Earthquake | Outrage |
Stone Edge | U-turn |
Earthquake is its best Ground-type attack with no downsides.
Outrage is its best Dragon-type attack that will confuse Flygon after 2-3 turns.
Stone Edge helps Flygon cover for Ice-types that it is very weak too.
U-Turn lets Flygon pivot out of any bad matchups.

Resists: | (0.5x) | |
Immune to: | (0x) |
Steel is the best Tera Type for this build because it turns all of Flygon's weaknesses into resists. It also doesn't have to worry about Ground-type attacks thanks to its ability Levitate.
Best Steel Type Pokemon
A full 252 EVs are put into Flygon's Attack and Speed to make it hit as hard and fast as possible. The extra 4 EVs are placed in its HP to help round out its bulk.
A Jolly nature is preferred to help Flygon outspeed as many Pokemon as possible.
First Impression | A +2 priority move that can be used whenever Flygon is switched into battle. |
---|---|
Tera Blast | Can get a surprise knockout on Fairy-types that could otherwise wall Flygon once it Terastallizes to Steel. |
Damage Dealt by Flygon |
|
---|---|
Item: Heavy-Duty Boots | Outrage vs Multiscale 90 ~ 106 (45.4 ~ 53.5%) Guaranteed 2HKO Outrage vs no Multiscale 180 ~ 212 (90.9 ~ 107%) 50% Chance to OHKO |
Item: Hearthflame Mask | Stone Edge 112 ~ 132 (71.7 ~ 84.6%) Guaranteed 2HKO |
Item: Choice Specs | Earthquake 152 ~ 180 (93.8 ~ 111.1%) 68.8% Chance to OHKO |
Damage Received by Flygon |
|
Item: Heavy-Duty Boots | Outrage 276 ~ 326 (176.9 ~ 208.9%) Guaranteed OHKO |
Item: Booster Energy | Moonblast 204 ~ 240 (130.7 ~ 153.8%) Guaranteed OHKO |
Item: Focus Sash | Icicle Crash 436 ~ 520 (279.4 ~ 333.3%) Guaranteed OHKO |
These calculations were done with Flygon holding a Choice Scarf. Keep in mind that its attacks would do signficantly more damage if it were to hold a Choice Band instead.

Ability | Held Item | |
---|---|---|
Levitate | Choice Scarf |
Flygon's only ability is Levitiate. This makes it immune to anything that requires Flygon to be grounded, like Ground-type attacks, Terrain, or grounded hazards like Toxic Spikes. With Tera Poison, it gains a valuable immunity to Ground-type attacks.
Choice Scarf is chosen for this build, as it will have to trigger Metagross's Weakness Policy quickly with Bulldoze.
Bulldoze | Breaking Swipe |
Thunder Punch | U-turn |
Bulldoze is an effective means of Speed Control, especially when Flygon is paired with Flying-type Pokemon or Pokemon with Clear Body.
Breaking Swipe is a strong option for reducing the effectiveness of opposing Physical Attackers. This also has synergy with Clear Body Pokemon.
Thunder Punch helps Flygon against bulky Water-types who might intend to wall it.
U-Turn lets Flygon pivot out of any bad situations.
Poison Tera Type Matchup | ||
---|---|---|
Weak to: | ||
(2x) | ||
Damaged Normally By: |
(1x) | |
Resists: | (0.5x) | |
Poison is the best Tera Type for this build because it leaves Flygon with only one weakness, Psychic. Levitate gives Flygon an immunity to Ground-type Moves.
A full 252 EVs are put into Flygon's Attack and Speed to make it hit as hard and fast as possible. The extra 4 EVs are placed in its HP to help round out its bulk.
A Jolly nature is preferred to help Flygon outspeed as many Pokemon as possible.
Earthquake | A powerful Ground-type attack that hits both opponents. This is a great option if Flygon does not need to have synergy with a Weakness Policy user.. |
---|
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced a lot of new fast Pokemon that counter Flygon, like Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao. Make sure to save Terastallization to help Flygon deal with these tough matchups.
Flygon appreciates teammates who can knock out its bad matchups to help it have a strong endgame.
Offensive Lead | Physical Attacker | Physical Attacker |
---|---|---|
Sneasler | Flygon | Chien-Pao |
Sneasler with a Normal Gem and Fake Out can be used as an effective offensive lead to deal with Flygon's Ice and Fairy weaknesses.
Chien-Pao can then be brought out to get a revenge kill on whatever Pokemon is brought out to knock out Sneasler.
With any major threats taken care of, Flygon should be able to close out a good endgame since there is only one Pokemon left on the opponent's side.
Support / Physical Attacker | Physical Attacker |
---|---|
Flygon | Metagross |
Support | Support / Physical Attacker |
Incineroar | Rillaboom |
Flygon has plenty of synergies with a partnered Metagross. It can trigger its Weakness Policy and provide Speed Control with Bulldoze, and reduce the effectiveness of opposing Physical Attackers with Breaking Swipe, all without threatening Metagross.
Incineroar and Rillaboom are powerful Pokemon to have in the back of your team, being able to offer Fake Out support, as well as being able to be counted on for decent damage.
Pokemon | Description |
---|---|
Chien-Pao | Ranking: ★★★★★
・Forces Flygon to Terastallize or it will get OHKO'd by an Ice-type attack. ・Can use Sacred Sword if Flygon Terastallizes to Steel. ▶️ Chien-Pao Best Movesets |
Iron Bundle | Ranking: ★★★★
・Hydro Pump is still a neutral hit even if Flygon Terastallizes. ・Can defensively Tera to avoid an OHKO. ▶️ Iron Bundle Best Movesets |
Baxcalibur | Ranking: ★★★
・Can outspeed Flygon after two Dragon Dance or Scale Shot Speed boosts. ・Commonly Terastallizes to Fairy, which makes it immune to Outrage. ▶️ Baxcalibur Best Movesets |
