Strategy Overview
Flygon's great set versatility makes it an elite Pokemon and one of the best Ground-types in NU. Choice Scarf Flygon fits on many teams, outspeeding and limiting many wallbreakers such as non-Choice Scarf Infernape and Munkidori. Choice Band gives Flygon an incredibly spammable Earthquake and makes it a lot harder to switch into. Flygon can also pivot out with U-turn, allowing it to maintain offensive pressure and momentum. Dragon Dance Flygon can use Loaded Dice, which makes it a great late-game sweeper, and it also threatens lead entry hazard setters like Galvantula and Smeargle. Additionally, it can run moves like Fire Blast to threaten would-be checks like Bronzong and Avalugg. However, as a Choice Scarf user, it faces competition from Munkidori and Infernape, both of which are faster than it and can revenge kill it with Close Combat or Psychic. Additionally, Flygon's average Attack leaves it struggling when facing physical walls like Vaporeon, Amoonguss, and Avalugg, as they can still take its attacks even after a Dragon Dance. Choice Scarf Flygon can be very easy to play around due to both of its STAB options having common immunities and resistances.
