Summary
A creativePokemonplayer just designed an impressive Mega Evolution form for Flygon. There have been various new evolution types added to thePokemongames over the years, and 2013’sPokemon X and Yintroduced the temporary but powerful Mega Evolutions. These transformations are triggered during battle by having the Pokemon in question hold a special Mega Stone, granting them a new form with enhanced stats and new abilities.
There are currently 48 official Mega Evolutions for 46 species of Pokemon, leaving fans with plenty of room to create custom alternate forms for the creatures who haven’t gotten one yet. The monsters who have received this fanart treatment range fromclassic Gen 1 Pokemon like Jynxand Raichu to more recent additions to the Pokemon world like Shuckle. The announcement of the Mega Evolution mechanic’s return in the upcomingPokemon Legends: Z-Ahas provided more fuel to players’ imaginations, resulting in some intriguing potential upgrades and lore editions to popular monsters like Lucario and Gyarados.
Flygon is one of the latest Pokemon to receive a custom Mega Evolution by an artistic fan, courtesy of Reddit user JayBerJabber on r/pokemon. This new take on the Ground/Dragon hybrid gives Flygon dark grey armor on its head, neck, wings, and tail, resulting in a fiercer appearance inspired by stunt pilots. JayBerJabber also designed acustom Shiny Pokemon variantfor Mega Flygon that replaces its usual green-and-red color scheme with a yellow and blue one. Other users have complimented the artist for their work on this new Flygon form, though some of them thought it looked more like a Digimon or a Disney character than a Pokemon.
Mega Flygon Takes to the Sky In Pokemon Fan Drawing
The original Flygon was introduced inPokemon Ruby and Sapphireas the third and final stage of Trapinch, having evolved from the dragonfly-like Vibrava at level 45. It has appeared in every mainlinePokemongame since its debut, in addition to spin-offs likePokemon Mystery DungeonandPokemon GO. Fans havedesigned new Paradox forms for Flygonthat show what the Mystic Pokemon could look like in the far-off future, as well as a fusion with the similar Paradox Pokemon Slither Wing.
JayBerJabber’s recent artwork isn’t the first time that aPokemonfan has designed a Mega Evolution for Flygon, but their take does a great job of making it look friendly and ferocious at the same time. WithPokemon Legends: Z-Abringing back Mega Evolutionssometime next year, perhaps Flygon will finally get an official one that is as charming as the ones designed by talentedPokemonfans.
