Vibrava is based on the adult stage of an antlion. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Vibrava could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called “sand dragons”, which could account for Vibrava and Flygon’s type combination.
Vibrava may be a combination of vibrate (to shake rapidly) and larva. It may also derive from Vibra.

Vibrava is a dragonfly-like Pokémon. It has a small head with two yellow antennae and green bulging eyes with black oval-shaped pupils. Its mouth has two large white teeth protruding from each side. It has a skinny yellow body, four skinny black legs with slender feet, and four green, rhombus-shaped wings with black edges. There are similarly-colored rhombus shapes at the end of its tail. Vibrava’s wings are not fully developed, so it is unable to fly very far. However, it is able to create vibrations and ultrasonic waves with its wings. Humans get headaches from these waves. After causing prey to faint, it uses acid to melt the prey. Vibrava lives on rough terrains.
POKEDEX ENTRIES
Pokemon Ruby: To make prey faint, Vibrava generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This Pokémon’s ultrasonic waves are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.
Pokemon Sapphire: Vibrava’s wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.
Pokemon Emerald: It looses ultrasonic waves by rubbing its wings together. Since a Vibrava’s wings are still in the process of growing, it can only fly short distances.
Pokemon FireRed: It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.
Pokemon LeafGreen: It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.
Pokemon Diamond: It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.
Pokemon Pearl: It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.

Pokemon Omega Ruby: To make prey faint, Vibrava generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This Pokémon’s ultrasonic waves are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire: Vibrava’s wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.
Pokemon SUN: Rather than using its underdeveloped wings for flight, it rubs them together, producing ultrasonic waves to attack its enemies.
