Congratulations on your new flygon and trapinch, anonymous!
Stock up on kibble and build a shelter that can fit a mother flygon and her hatchlings. I’d imagine that Sootopolis may not be the most comfortable place for them when it rains. You might want to build a pit of mulch and dirt as well; that will resist flooding a bit more than a sand pit would.
Good luck!
The trapinch line, despite their insectoid appearances, do not actually exhibit any affinity for the bug element naturally, anonymous. (Or, well, vibrava is capable of learning Bug Buzz without assistance, but other than that, I mean.) Rather, the entire line exhibits a strong alignment with the ground-type at first, then with the dragon-type as it grows into its advanced stages. This goes for both its offensive and defensive capabilities. It’s not only true that members of the trapinch line are incapable of learning bug-type moves, but it’s also true that none of them display any of the weaknesses or resistances of a bug-type.
Remember, anonymous, a pokémon does not simply receive an elemental classification according to its physical appearance. What matters more is that pokémon are both capable of controlling a certain element and respond to other elements in a certain way.
Trapinch
The Ant Pit Pokémon
Type: Ground
Official Registration #: 328
Entry: A large, antlion-like pokémon native to deserts, particularly those of the Hoenn region. A patient hunter, trapinch digs conical pit traps and waits at the very center for prey to come tumbling down. However, due to its habitat in the remote parts of brutal deserts, it may wait for a solid week before anything comes tumbling into its pit. During this time, it does not move from its pit, even to search for water. Part of this might have something to do with the construction of their pits: each pit is typically so well-made that even the trapinch struggles to escape from them.
Vibrava
The Vibration Pokémon
Type: Ground/Dragon
Official Registration #: 329
Entry: The evolved form of trapinch, by battle experience. Also: a dragon-like pokémon known for generating supersonic waves capable of inducing headaches and disorienting prey by vigorously shaking its two pairs of wings. Also: a fearless predator that darts in at high speeds to take down prey, then spits venom onto said victims to dissolve them for easier consumption. Not: an adult toy whose name cannot be specified on a blog meant for general audiences, Bebe.
Flygon
The Mystic Pokémon
Type: Ground/Dragon
Official Registration #: 330
Entry: The evolved form of vibrava, by battle experience. Nicknamed “the spirit of the desert,” flygon is capable of kicking up massive dust storms with powerful flaps of its chitinous wings. It hides within these sandstorms and travels at great speeds across its desert habitats, which is why many people consider it a mirage. This is not the only thing flygon is known for, of course. It is also known for the massive waves of disappointment it had created when it was discovered that, unlike a number of other pokémon native to the Hoenn region, it is virtually incapable of mega evolving.
