Bagon (Japanese: タツベイ Tatsubay) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Shelgon starting at level 30, which evolves into Salamence starting at level 50.

Biology

Bagon is a bipedal, blue, reptilian Pokémon vaguely resembling a Pachycephalosaurus. It possesses a large, round snout, triangular eyes, yellow, circular ears similar to reptiles, and a yellow lower jaw with two teeth protruding upwards. Three thick, gray ridges cover the top of its head and continue downwards to cover its neck as well. There is a triangular patch of yellow on its underside. It has stubby, digit-less arms and short legs with two toes on each foot.

Bagon lives in rough terrains with cliffs and rocks. It longs to fly and jumps off cliffs trying to be able to do so. Frustrated at its inability to fly, it leaps off cliffs and smashes its head against large rocks indiscriminately. This process of continually bashing its head causes it to become as hard as steel. Well-developed neck muscles support its hard head. This, combined with its powerful body, allows it to shatter rocks with its head. Bagon is known to be rather solitary, preferring not to form groups with others of its kind. It has been theorized that Bagon's habit of head-bashing and pure belief influences the cells needed to help it evolve.

Evolution

Bagon evolves into Shelgon, which evolves into Salamence.

NPC Appearances

As a result of its dives, its head has grown tough and as hard as tempered steel. Sapphire Bagon harbors a never-ending dream of one day soaring high among the clouds. As if trying to dispel its frustration over its inability to fly, this Pokémon slams its hard head against huge rocks and shatters them into pebbles. Emerald Although it is small, this Pokémon is very powerful because its body is a bundle of muscles. It launches head-butts with its ironlike skull. FireRed Its steel-hard head can shatter boulders. It longingly hopes for wings to grow so it can fly. LeafGreen

Sun Its belief that it will be able to fly one day is apparently the influence of information carried in its genes. Moon With its steel-hard stone head, it headbutts indiscriminately. This is because of the stress it feels at being unable to fly. Ultra Sun Whenever it sees bird Pokémon flying through the sky, it becomes envious and smashes its surroundings to bits with headbutts.

Trivia

• Bagon is tied with Dreepy for the lowest base Special Defense stat of all Dragon-type Pokémon.

Origin

Bagon is based on a dragon, but possibly draws some aspects from Pachycephalosaurus, a species of two-legged dinosaur known for their domed heads. The growth on Bagon's head is similar to the mullet hairstyle.

Name origin

Bagon may be a combination of baby and dragon.

Tatsubay may be a combination of 竜 tatsu (dragon) and baby.
