How Bad Is This (And How Would You Fix It?)?

1 minute read

I got this Flygon from a trade with a friend, and I hadn’t changed anything about it. Could anyone tell me how this Pokemon can be fixed?

Flygon (F) @Soft SandAbility: Levitate- Dig- Draco Meteor- Feint Attack- Hyper Beam

(I don’t really know much about moves and strategy, so all help is appreciated.)

Dig -> EarthquakeDraco Meteor -> Dragon ClawFeint Attack -> physical coverage moveHyper Beam -> physical coverage move

Soft Sand -> ???

Lacking info on Nature, IVs, and EVs. Ideally, they’d be a bulky set with leftover points going into physical attack.

There are really only 2 “problems” with Flygon as a Pokemon. It’s probably the weakest psuedo-legendary in terms of raw stats with no Mega Evolution to fix it, and it’s movepool is very limited for covering it’s weaknesses. 4x weak to Ice is especially painful, and is a common type for either coverage or filler moves. Biggest stumbling block is going to be Fairy, for which the only options in movepool are Iron Tail (70% accuracy) and Steel Wing (90% accuracy).
