Can we please get the older, old forum back?
If Ash catches Flygon, it better have the move Sandstorm at its disposal. There's two things about Flygon. It's lore is all about it being a mirage in a sandstorm and the sound of its flapping wings. So it simply needs to have moves that cover those aspects well.
Flygon:
- Sand Tomb -> Earth Power (STAB).
- Breaking Swipe (as secondary STAB) or Stone Edge (for coverage). Lets not give it Dragon Claw, please.
- Sandstorm. If Sand Tomb functions like a true Sandstorm (the move blurb mentions that), then I might want to opt for Fire Spin.
- Bug Buzz (to avoid Boomburst, because that's Noivern's signature move).
Yeah, small pre-post edit: There's a third thing: The fact that it's not a Bug-type. /outrage.
