Bagon

Bagon, a pure Dragon-type Pokémon, is notable as the pre-evolution of the formidable pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Salamence. With a base stat total of 300, Bagon might seem unassuming at first glance. However, its inclusion in many trainers' teams stems from the incredible power and versatility of its final form. Introduced in Generation III, Bagon can be found in various locations across the Hoenn region, such as Meteor Falls. Its distinctive hard skull, which it uses to smash rocks in an effort to fly, highlights its determined nature. Bagon evolves into Shelgon at level 30, and then into the mighty Dragon/Flying-type Salamence at level 50, making it a worthwhile investment for trainers seeking a powerful force in battle.
