A short write-up on Bagon, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
Dreaming of one day flying, it practices by leaping off cliffs every day.
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.
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.
Collectors still read Bagon, Shelgon, and Salamence fastest left-to-right; matching illustration eras across those stages matters more than cramming every rarity onto one page.
A second dex beat (Black 2) frames Bagon as dreaming of one day flying, it practices by leaping off cliffs every day. Rotating that line on a sticky note beside the page keeps the spread feeling lived-in.
