Read more ↓Bagon, the Rock Head Pokémon, is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. This determined creature dreams of one day being able to fly, a goal it relentlessly pursues by leaping off cliffs every day, hoping to develop wings. Its natural habitat is typically mountainous regions, where it can be found practicing its aerial ambitions. Bagon is known for its incredibly hard skull, which it uses to smash through obstacles and protect itself. It feeds on hard berries and small insects found in its rocky environment. Bagon evolves into Shelgon at level 30, and then into the powerful Dragon/Flying-type Salamence at level 50, finally achieving its dream of flight. In the games, Bagon is a relatively rare encounter, often found in specific caves or routes. In the anime, it has been featured in episodes highlighting its strong will and unique evolutionary journey. Its persistent nature resonates with many fans, making it a symbol of perseverance and aspiration within the Pokémon universe. Its Dragon typing gives it strengths against other Dragon types, but also makes it vulnerable to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy moves.
