Flygon is a Pokémon that resembles a slightly insectoid, bipedal dragon. 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 the desert, and it typically works together with Krookodile in searching for food, whipping up sandstorms for Krookodile to hide in as they hunt, then splitting the prey that they manage to catch.
Evolution
Flygon evolves from Vibrava and is the final form of Trapinch.
Flygon is nicknamed "the elemental spirit of the desert." Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a sandstorm while flying.
Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a sandstorm, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit.

It sure was a surprise when Flygon suddenly appeared out of that huge sandstorm! The flapping of this Pokémon’s wings sounds like singing, and those who have heard it call Flygon the Desert Spirit.
Flygon made its main series debut in Delcatty Got Your Tongue, where it was used by a Trainer in a battle against Dr. Abby's Skitty. However, it was presented as a black silhouette.
Flygon, the Mystic Pokémon. Flygon is the evolved form of Vibrava. It's known as "The Desert Spirit" because of the song-like voice that emanates from the sandstorms it kicks up.

A Flygon was one of the Pokémon belonging to Norman, who mostly used it for aerial transport. After taking Wally under his wing for the sake of awaking Rayquaza, he gave it to the boy. It first appeared in Talk About Timing, Treecko.
Flygon appears to be based on the winged, adult stage of the antlion. Oftentimes, the adult antlion and dragonfly 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 its Dragon type, it also possesses a dragon-like build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail. Its goggle-like lenses hiding a small eye could be inspired by mantids and similar insects, which have large compound eyes with pseudopupils - commonly mistaken for a true pupil. The singing sound which this Pokémon produces and its connection to sand could be inspired by singing sand.
Name origin
Flygon is likely a combination of fly and dragon, or an inversion of dragonfly.
