Flygon is aPokémon that resembles a slightly insectoid, bipedaldragon. It is primarily light green and has a pair of large rhombus-shaped wings with red trim, toeless hind legs, and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. It has large eyes and a pair of green antennae that point back. Its eyes have red covers that prevent sand from getting into them.
With its wings, it kicks up sandstorms to hide itself. Its wings make a "singing" sound when they are flapped, earning Flygon the name "The Desert Spirit". It uses this unique ability to attract prey, stranding them before it attacks. Flygon lives in thedesert, and it typically works together withKrookodile in searching for food, whipping up sandstorms for Krookodile to hide in as they hunt, then splitting the prey that they manage to catch. As mentioned inSleep Style Dex, a person can hear the beautiful sounds emitted from the very faint movement of its wings, should one listen very carefully. There are four different sleep styles it sleeps in: "Curled-Up Sleep", "Flutter Sleep", "Tummy-Up Sleep", and "Atop-Belly Sleep".

A Flygon was one of the Pokémon belonging toNorman, who mostly used it for aerial transport. After takingWally under his wing for the sake of awakingRayquaza, he gave it to the boy. It first appeared inTalk About Timing, Treecko.
Flygon appears to be based on the winged, adult stage of theantlion. Oftentimes, the adult antlion anddragonfly are confused with one another, and Flygon could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's type combination. In keeping with itsDragon type, it also possesses a dragon-like build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail, resembling aEuropean dragon overall. Its goggle-like lenses hiding a small eye could be inspired bymantids and similar insects, which have largecompound eyes withpseudopupils - commonly mistaken for a truepupil. Its tapered antennae bear some resemblance to the back-curved horns of certainantelopes and may reference theShadhavar, a medieval Muslim desert spirit described as resembling an antelope or gazelle that, in some accounts, lures prey with music from its flute-like horn. The singing sound which this Pokémon produces and its connection to sand could be inspired bysinging sand.
