Hi! I'm Flygon!

[Flygon]

Hi PPokemon forum users! I am Flygon. You may be wondering why I came up with such a random Pokemon's name; it's because Flygon is my favourite Pokemon! Well it's nice to meet you all. I may see you all the time. Maybe we can become friends one day. Who knows? We all rock!

Welcome! If you ever need a cool flygon avatar just click on the link in my sig! I just have to advertise the thread :P Welcome again!

I never understood flygon (I do love him though) dragon and ground...but in his name is the word fly...it begs the question why he's not flying and dragon. Fly-flying gon- dragon..???

[wraith89]

Fly as in... a fly? I named my Flygon Beelzebub because he somewhat resembled the Lord of the Flies, Beelzebub (PF, you should know Beelzebub is a demon).

[pokemonfan]

Beelzebub a demon? But the name sounds so funny and adorable...I still think it should be flying and dragon

Flygon take apart the word

Fly-gon

Fly-flying type
Gon-dragon type

Just in case that wasn't clear in my first post.

Hello There.

Flygon is pretty cool, and it's typing is quite unique.

[pokemonfan]

Yeah..correct at that hottsushiz...it should be flying and dragon -.- but no! Gamefreak just has to go and take the beginnings and endings of two type names and then what do they do? They take out fly and add in ground because it makes perfect sense for a flying creature to have a ground additional type. I mean flygon flies! Why does it have a ground type. Seriously O.o some things I just dont get.

[HottSushiz]

Because..... it's first evolution is Trapinch, which is a dedicated ground type, that spends it's life in the sand, creating those sand craters?

[pokemonfan]

Then oh when it wonderously evolves it gains wings and it flies now. Like butterfree..caterpie and metapod are both bug types..oh wait...wings appeared now flying has been added to it. Also this was taken straight from bulbapedia and I do believe it supports both of our points.

Origin

Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the antlion, also called "sand dragon".
Name origin

Flygon's name is a combination of fly and dragon or a rearrangement of dragonfly.

So I think the types could be either

dragon, flying, ground, and bug. Of course there would be a combination. Dragon fly is a bug...antlion is also called sand dragon therefore dragon and ground type. Although dragonfly is a bug so possibly bug and dragon or bug and flying or dragon and flying... It can go many different ways. At least its ability makes up for the flying type loss. Levitate does the same thing a flying type side would do. It can go either way really...

Edit:

In fact the whole evo line is based off of an antlion.
