Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

Dreaming of one day flying, it practices by leaping off cliffs every day.

Generation 6
X

Its well-developed neck muscles and iron-like head can smash boulders into pieces.

Y

Dreaming of one day flying, it practices by leaping off cliffs every day.

Omega Ruby

Bagon has a dream of one day soaring in the sky. In doomed efforts to fly, this Pokémon hurls itself off cliffs. As a result of its dives, its head has grown tough and as hard as tempered steel.

Alpha Sapphire

Bagon harbors a never-ending dream of one day soaring high among the clouds. As if trying to dispel its frustration over its inability to fly, this Pokémon slams its hard head against huge rocks and shatters them into pebbles.

Generation 7
Sun

Its belief that it will be able to fly one day is apparently the influence of information carried in its genes.

Moon

With its steel-hard stone head, it headbutts indiscriminately. This is because of the stress it feels at being unable to fly.

Ultra Sun

Whenever it sees bird Pokémon flying through the sky, it becomes envious and smashes its surroundings to bits with headbutts.

Ultra Moon

Some theories suggest that its behavior of forcefully bashing its head into things stimulates cells that affect its evolution.
