Bagon are such frequent aircraft stowaways that any inexplicable technical problems or pilot troubles are half-jokingly blamed on them. Drayden’s Dragon Manual confirms you can safely jettison them midflight: it’s safe for them, and they like it.

Trainers who read or talk to their Shelgon report much faster evolution into Salamence. Whether this is because Shelgon appreciates the company or wants to fly away from the conversation is up for debate.

Along with its new wings, Salamence’s fire sac becomes capable of taking in vast quantities of oxygen. Pokéologists believe this was a previous attempt to fly that never reached fruition.
