Offensive Stealth Rock (Flygon) @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Steel / Ghost / Fairy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Scale Shot
- U-turn / Stone Edge

[SET COMMENTS]
Stealth Rock Flygon is an excellent offensive Ground-type that is able to make progress even against its best switch-ins with Stealth Rock. Scale Shot improves Flygon's ability to act as an offensive threat and cleaner. U-turn enables it to deal decent damage to and pivot out of its defensive checks like Slowbro and Chesnaught. Stone Edge is an alternative that provides coverage against Flying-types such as Talonflame, Gyarados, and Thundurus. Loaded Dice helps guarantee OHKOs on Dragon-types like Cyclizar and Noivern with Scale Shot. Levitate provides Flygon with great defensive utility in an immunity to Ground-type moves and most entry hazards, which pairs well with its natural resistance to Stealth Rock and cements it as a reliable pivot. Tera Steel flips all of Flygon's weaknesses to resistances, allowing it to strike back against offense threats such as Noivern, Revavroom, and Choice Scarf Gardevoir. It also provides a valuable immunity to poison and synergizes with Levitate by making Flygon immune to one of the Steel-type's most glaring weaknesses in Ground-type attacks. Tera Ghost is an option that gives Flygon valuable immunities to strong attacks such as Galarian Zapdos's Close Combat and Maushold's Population Bomb and powerful priority moves like Conkeldurr's Mach Punch and Entei's Extreme Speed. Tera Fairy is viable due to its immunity to Draco Meteor from Dragon-types like Hisuian Goodra and Cyclizar that Flygon can proceed to promptly take out, along with its resistance to common physical attacks such as Krookodile's Knock Off and Slither Wing's U-turn.


Stealth Rock Flygon is a great fit on both balanced and offensive structures looking for an offensive Ground-type entry hazard setter. Flygon's decent natural bulk makes it an easy-to-fit pivot and Volt Switch absorber in almost any team. It sets itself apart from other options like Krookodile with its defensive utility in its Ground immunity and resistance to Fire-type moves, which pairs well with common Steel-types like Empoleon, Jirachi, and Bisharp by providing a switch-in to threats such as Krookodile and Armarouge. These Steel-types in turn can comfortably tank Fairy- and Dragon-type attacks from Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Draco Meteor Cyclizar looking to take Flygon out. Special wallbreakers such as Gengar, Armarouge, and Thundurus work well with U-turn Flygon, as they can pivot into its defensive checks like Slowbro and Galarian Weezing and immediately threaten to blow holes in the opposing team. Thanks to Scale Shot, Flygon can serve as a decent late-game cleaner and therefore, it fits nicely in bulkier structures with Spikes setters such as Gastrodon and Chesnaught that aim to wear down the opposing team by stacking hazards.

Stealth Rock Flygon is an excellent offensive Ground-type that is able to make progress even against its best switch-ins with Stealth Rock. Scale Shot is a great STAB attack that is able to simultaneously improve Flygon's ability to act as an offensive threat and cleaner if it lands. U-turn enables Flygon to deal decent damage to and pivot out of its defensive checks examples. Stone Edge is an alternative that provides coverage for Flying-types such as Talonflame and Noivern. Loaded Dice improves Scale Shot's power and reliability by making it more consistent.

Flygon itself usually has the requisite longevity to stay around in longer games due to its resistance to entry hazards.
