Its belief that it will be able to fly one day is apparently the influence of information carried in its genes.

Strategy Overview

Bagon finds itself heavily outclassed in the Little Cup metagame by other, more reliable setup sweepers such as Shellder, Tyrunt, and Timburr. Bagon is incredibly frail and takes considerable damage even from neutral attacks, making it difficult for Bagon to safely set up with Dragon Dance. Finally, Bagon lacks any super effective coverage moves or a secondary STAB option to hit Fairy-types such as Spritzee, allowing them to completely trample over it.
