Contest Salamence vs. Flygon

[Marluxia]

These two are basically rivals, so I made this. Just write the usual: Which do you prefer
Which would win in a battle
Which is more useful

My opinion is obvious. Flygon can be more useful because it has a better movepool, but Salamence is more powerful and would win in a battle. I personally like Flygon better, though, because of its awesome design.

 

[Zwampert]

Salamence. Hes a pure powerhouse, even as a Bagon!

 

[Roulette]

Salamence wasn't that original to me when I first saw it. Flygon is one of the most original pokemon to date imo, and one of my favorites.
Best Design? Flygon. The shiny is waaaaaaay cooler too, but the normal design just embodies the spirit of the desert, Salamence is another typical Dragon, very similar to a quadrapedal Dragonite.
Best Battler? Well, I give this one to Salamence I reckon. He is a pseudo and what not, Flygon's stab earthquake is still a force though.
Most useful? Kinda hard as both are very useful..Flygon makes for a fantastic addition to a sandstorm team though, but that's probably my bias talking.

Flygon FTW

 

[Envoy]

Salamence is overrated. It is by far my least favorite, non-legendary Dragon. Flygon FTW!!! (Dragonite pwns them both, though)

 

[Ultra Pidgeot]

Well they're both super weak to ice...

But the 'Mence is just a complete powerhouse. He'd win.

 

[Scarlet Sky]

Flygon wins. It is my trademark pokemon is casual battles afterall. (Until I get a viable competitive one.) And... Mence is overrated.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Salamence because not only does it look epic, it can use its high offensive stats to wreak havoc.

 

[Ghost]

Salamence, by far. Great offensive stats, and amazing movepool.

 

[Sushi-X]

i love flygon but i gotta say my salamence PWNS

 

[Ranger Jack Walker]

I love them both.

Salamence for being a an offensive powerhouse.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

And by the way, why does every one say Salamence would win? They would speed tie, and who ever won said speed tie would win. So it's a 50/50 chance for either one.

 

[Insanish Danish]

Flygon.

I agree. Salamence is extremely overrated.

 

[apenpaap]

I don't really consider them rivals. Salamence is Dragonite's rival, and Flygon is Altaria's rival. I voted Salamence, because it is so much more powerful.

Mence has intimidate, so even if flygon managed to hit him first, it probably would not KO. Despite that, flygon's better

 

[Lord Clowncrete]

Salamence has a better design and is a lot more powerful. But as grass type trainer said, dragonite pawns them both!!

 

[Dr. Buni]

Salamence is stronger, but its design is AWFUL.
Dragonite is a better dragon/flying.

Flygon is a mix of a dragon and a bug. It is my favorite dragon type, so... :')

 

[Almonds]

Flygon for Levitate and the ground-typing that can let it use Dig without being Earthquake'd to death.

Of course, if there's someone with Mold Breaker, then that could be a problem... but putting that aside, since there aren't many pokemon with ability-breaking abilities.
