CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Bagon dreams of flying before its body gives it the means. It launches itself from cliffs and tries again, carried by an aspiration that withstands failure. The impacts have hardened its head into a formidable weapon against rock. Its silhouette tells of ambition as much as ability: the desire for the sky already shapes its life on the ground.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Why does Bagon hit its head against its surroundings so often? Ultra Moon presents a theory: these impacts might stimulate cells connected to its evolution. The Pokédex frames this explanation as a hypothesis, not a certainty. It links its persistent behavior with its longstanding wish to fly.
