Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Flying-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack. | ||

However, many Flying types have a secondary type that is weak to Fighting, most notably {{t|Normal}}, making their resistance to the Fighting type ineffective. In addition, its weaknesses to {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Ice}} are common. Almost all Flying types are dual-typed, thus making some vulnerable to double weaknesses. Furthermore, Stealth Rock inflicts damage to Flying types equal to at least a quarter of their HP unless they are also Ground-, Fighting-, or {{type|Steel}}, adding to their defensive unreliability. | ||
Despite this, most Flying types have access to {{m|Roost}}, allowing them to restore their health and temporarily lose their Flying type. However, this also makes them vulnerable to Ground-type moves. If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{t|???}} type in [[Generation IV]] and a {{t|Normal}} type in [[Generation V]] onwards. | Despite this, most Flying types have access to {{m|Roost}}, allowing them to restore their health and temporarily lose their Flying type.

If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{t|???}} type in [[Generation IV]] and a {{t|Normal}} type in [[Generation V]] onwards. | ||
There is a [[Mysterious air current|special type of weather]] that can only be activated by the Ability {{a|Delta Stream}}. It causes moves that would be super effective against pure Flying-type Pokémon to deal half damage to all Flying-type Pokémon. | |||

The Flying type pairs well with other fairly common attacking types, such as {{t|Ground}}. As {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Ghost}}-type moves are no longer resisted by {{t|Steel}} in [[Generation VI]], the Flying-type pairs well with these two types, along with the {{t|Water}} and {{t|Fighting}} types. Most damaging Flying-type moves are also useful for being able to hit any opponent in [[Triple Battle]]s. | The Flying type pairs well with other fairly common attacking types, such as {{t|Ground}}.

- This article is about the official type. For the scrapped type in core Generation I and II games, see List of glitch types → Bird.
The Flying type (Japanese: ひこうタイプ Flying type) is one of the eighteen types. Notable Trainers who specialize in Flying-type Pokémon are the Gym Leaders Falkner of Violet City, Winona of Fortree City, Skyla of Mistralton City, and Kahili of Alola Elite Four. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Flying-type moves were physical, but they may now also be special depending on the attack.

Characteristics
Defense
Defensively, the Flying type is very useful for its immunity to the powerful Ground-type moves and its resistance to Fighting. However, many Flying types have a secondary type that is weak to Fighting, most notably Normal, making their resistance to the Fighting type ineffective. In addition, its weaknesses to Electric, Rock, and Ice are common. Almost all Flying types are dual-typed, thus making some vulnerable to double weaknesses. Furthermore, Stealth Rock inflicts damage to Flying types equal to at least a quarter of their HP unless they are also Ground-, Fighting-, or Steel-type, adding to their defensive unreliability.
Despite this, most Flying types have access to Roost, allowing them to restore their health and temporarily lose their Flying type. However, this also makes them vulnerable to Ground-type moves. If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a ??? type in Generation IV and a Normal type in Generation V onwards.
There is a special type of weather that can only be activated by the Ability Delta Stream. It causes moves that would be super effective against pure Flying-type Pokémon to deal half damage to all Flying-type Pokémon.
Offense
Offensively, Flying-type moves are usually only useful when benefited by same-type attack bonus and for their strength against the Fighting type, as well as advantages over Bug and Grass types. Most Flying types have above-average Attack or Special Attack and Speed stats, making them potential offensive sweepers.
The Flying type pairs well with other fairly common attacking types, such as Ground. As Dark and Ghost-type moves are no longer resisted by Steel in Generation VI, the Flying-type pairs well with these two types, along with the Water and Fighting types. Most damaging Flying-type moves are also useful for being able to hit any opponent in Triple Battles.
Flying-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest Speed of all Pokémon and of fully evolved Pokémon.
Contest properties
In Contests, Flying-type moves are typically Cool moves.
Pokémon
As of Generation VI, there are 93 Flying-type Pokémon or 12.9% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Flying-type in at least one of their forms, including Mega Evolutions), making it the third most common type. Every other type has been paired up with the Flying type at least once.
