General Analysis
Choice Band

Nature: Jolly

Outrage/Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Rock Slide/Superpower
U-Turn
This is the set I prefer. With a choice band, Flygon hits stupidly hard. Outrage is preferred if you need the added oomph, while Dragon Claw is clearly the more reliable option, and still packs a decent punch. Rock Slide is preferred if Talonflame is a problem to your team, whereas Superpower allows you to slaughter Tyranitar and Air Balloon Heatran without a problem.

Nature: Adamant

Outrage/Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Rock Slide/Superpower
U-Turn
Same moveset as before, but this variant allows you to outspeed unscarfed Garchomp and Salamence. This set focuses more on scouting, and U-Turn is the most important move here. You could run stone edge for more power if you wanted, but it really isn't necessary, as Rock Slide OHKOs Mega Charizard Y. The rest is self-explanatory.
And there you have it. Is Flygon the BEST dragon? No. But it does have a niche in OU (especially with the introduction of Superpower), and when not used as a weaker Garchomp, Flygon will seldom let you down.
