ORAS THE LEGEND OF FLYGON (self.pokemon) Poshul 1303 13 hours ago In 2002, Game Freak released a Dragon/Ground type Pokemon named Flygon. Out of the three Dragon-types released in that generation, Flygon was the second strongest, and the only Dragon-type Pokemon to also be part -Ground type. Flygon's charming unique design led it to become a favorite among fans, and its stats, while not excellent like many other powerhouses, led it to be quite the powerful Pokemon when looked at in conjunction with its typing. Being part Ground type led Flygon to have a way of dealing with Steel types, a feat that few other Dragons could achieve Five years later it's time for a new generation, and in Diamond and Pearl the ferocious Garchomp, another Dragon/Ground type, is introduced into the world of Pokemon. It is often the case with many Pokemon that if it shares a the same typing, that Pokemon can accomplish a role that the other Pokemon could not, and both were either equals or only slightly better than the other. That was not the case with Flygon Garchomp's status as a psuedolegendary meant that its stats completely overpowered the Mystic Pokemon. Its typing, access t Swords Dance, ability in Sand Veil, and sheer power combined with its bulk led it to dominate both the popular Smogon singleplayer metagame and Nintendo's official tournaments. Garchomp was so powerful that it was sent to Ubers in the generation it was introduced, as it was simply too powerful for most Pokemon to handle. With Garchomp serving time in Ubers, Flygon could once again shine in its role, the shadow of its successor looming over it. Despite the landshark's existence, all was well for Flygon But not for lono In Generation V, while no new mechanics were introduced, hidden abilities, new items, and new moves gave way for pre outclassed or underpowered Pokemon to make a comeback. Chansey was Blissey's baby sister no more. Dragonite wa Salamence easily sweep most teams if given the opportunity. And Flygon? Flygon got U-Turn, and nothing e However, Garchomp was given the Hidden Ability of Rough Skin, deeming it accepted back into the OU tier. Garchomp dominated r.

All ope seeme nd X and Y brought that with the the Pokemon franchise wa rdue for a new m with Gen V's addi rce powerhouses with bated breath as they hoped for Flygon's Mega St com again with the lack rd time managing its home tier of UU.

Maybe it wasn't going to be revealed - there were Mega Evolutions in X and Y that weren't, after all maybe it would be a post-game find. After all, with the ommitted aga When the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demo comes out, datamining the demo led two ery opposing piec first one was that Vi w learns Boomburst p move sive m use Boomburst, but wh it got a sound-related Mega Evolution that made sense and could make the new move?

Could Game deserved fight among the ranks of Garchomp? Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have been released, and there have been no more Mega Evolutions. Flygon has been spat on and cast to the dogs, yet there is one more insult, one final nail in the coffin, that Game Freak has delivered to the fans of the Mystic Pokemon When you reach the final rank in the Secret Base Flag Collection, Aarune, the trainer whose signature Pokemon is a Flygon, bestows upon the player the Mega Stone for Garchomp Is there any Pokemon at all that has been treated as cruelly? Is there any Pokemon that has been let down so many times as Flygon? Is there ever going to be redemption for the miserable, rejected Flygon?
