Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the third generation. Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a sandstorm, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit. Flygon is nicknamed the elemental spirit of the desert. Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a sandstorm while flying. So, here it is, the ninety-sixth entry, Flygon.

The Japanese Pokémon Global Link has put out an update regarding stricter hack checks that are to come to the game. If you have been caught with a modified save file or modified Pokémon, then you will be unable to participate in Rating Battles or in Battle Competitions. If you are caught having done this multiple times, you are to be hit with stronger consequences beyond blocking from Rating Battles, which have not been detailed, without any warning. Those who have already been confirmed to have done this will have consequences enacted soon. This follows recent instances of save data loss for innocent players after they have encounter certain people with modified data. We'll keep you apprised of further developments

Who's That Pokémon
Today marks the ninety-second entry into the Generation VI competitive field with a Johto Pokémon. These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writers Miror, Archangel, jesusfreak94, Ragnarok, Psynergy, KillerDraco & UR2L8. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum
Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the second generation. Skarmory is entirely encased in hard, protective armor. This Pokémon flies at close to 190 mph. It slashes foes with its wings that possess swordlike cutting edges. Skarmory's steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles. Once a year, the battered wings grow back completely, restoring the cutting edges to their pristine state. Despite being clad entirely in iron-hard armor, it flies at speeds over 180 mph. After nesting in bramble bushes, the wings of its chicks grow hard from scratches by thorns. So here it is, the ninety-second entry, Skarmory.
