Summary

Bagon is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Type: Dragon

Abilities:

  • Sheer Force (Hidden Ability): Increases the power of moves with additional effects by 30%, but those additional effects are removed.

Physical Characteristics:

  • It dreams of one day being able to fly, and it displays a headstrong and stubborn personality, often leaping off cliffs to try and fly.

In Battle:

  • Bagon is known for its high physical attack stats.
  • It often uses moves like Headbutt and Dragon Claw to deal significant damage.
  • Its Rock Head ability allows it to use moves with recoil without taking damage, making moves like Double-Edge especially useful.
