My Honchkrow in Diamond has been hurt while Flown Up High by wild Machokes' Submission and Cross Chop moves... Does anybody know why? I might be missing something simple here. Punkrockrevel 22:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Most likely No Guard. --Johans 22:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I figured out it'd be an ability shortly after posting this, but couldn't be bothered to get back online. I blush, I do. Thanks. Punkrockrevel 05:51, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Anime

In the anime I have deducted that any flying type can fly, but must learn the actual move to fly fast enough into the enemy to cause damage, faster than a tackled attack. --Dark Lord Revan 05:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the difference begins with this move's Japanese name not meaning just "fly". --Johans 05:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
But dealing with the English version, I don't think any Pokémon in flight is using 'Fly'. I had the impression uses of the move were about carrying trainers, like Pidgeot in Pallet Party Panic. -Damien Nightstar 11:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone ever given their Pokémon an attack order to use Fly? Answering that might help to clear things up a bit. --Teradyne 00:12, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
No one has ever commanded a Pokemon to use the move fly in the Anime. I think the pictures should be taken down. Pelipper Rocks 06:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Charizard learned it. And anime not Anime. Ҝəυzø8 06:51, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
If he never used it as an attack (that is, having been given an attack order of "Use Fly", or another similar order), then I would have a hard time believing that Fly was used. The ONLY time that I would believe to be a canon use of the attack would be in Movie 3, during the battle at the beginning. Ash's Noctowl looked as if it may have used Fly when flying up to attack Aipom. However, it's hard to tell without hearing Ash give the actual command. --Teradyne 16:41, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Why do so many people have such difficulty understanding that the act of flying and the actual move fly are two different things? Pelipper Rocks 04:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Who knows. However, after watching the battle again, it's more likely that Noctowl was using Take Down, and not Fly. Is anyone absolutely sure that Fly has been used in the anime and movies? If not, I vote that we remove the information, or reword the section to say that the instances are not fully confirmed.--Teradyne 19:08, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I cannot find a single occurrence when the trainer specifically said "Use Fly". Therefore, I agree that the 'In the anime' section should be deleted. --Theryguy512 22:06, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I have seen every episode of the show. Even the banned ones, except for Shaking Island Battle: Barboach vs. Wiscash. Anyways, the MOVE fly has never been used, and therefore I think that the pictures should be removed. Especially since the episode which the picture is from doesn't say that the pokemon is USING fly. - unsigned comment from Pelipper Rocks (talkcontribs)

The anime pictures.

It would be useful if somebody would clarify which episodes the pictures are from. Just saying... TheBlazikenMaster 01:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Well below the pics, we say when the Pokémon first used the move. And this is the same for all moves, so if you want to change it, bring it up on the move dex project's talk page. --Theryguy512 11:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
That's exactly the problem, I don't know from what episode Image:Fly anime.jpg is from. TheBlazikenMaster 15:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
It says under the explanation of when they used the move. It was in DP013. In the pic, it says many flying-types. Just match that up with the explanation that says Many Flying-type Pokémon. --Theryguy512 23:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm very sorry about not noticing, my dumb mistakes. TheBlazikenMaster 18:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Gen I?

what about Flying Pikachu? hfc2X 04:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Required Badges

Would it be feasible to list which badges are required in order to use Fly outside of battle to move around each game's respective regions? --Lord Kelvin 06:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Really?

Zubat and Golbat can learn Fly in Generation IV? Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 02:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

As an HM, yes. Bulbapedian 02:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Including in Diamond and Pearl? Or just in Platinum? Baby G (talk to me) (see my edits) 18:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Thunder in Gen I

Thunder was unable to hit mid-Fly Pokémon until Gen II, that's why I changed it. Dragoness 08:47, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Dragoness

Well, I want to know how many times you tried. Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links 16:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

*cough*

I'm probably going to get yelled at for even suggesting this, but this this image constitute the move Fly in the anime??? File:AshridingGliscor.jpg --Theryguy512 18:55, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

No. Flying and using the move fly are two different things. Pelipper Rocks 23:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
You kinda need proof of that. What if the producers of the anime say that every Pokémon seen flying is actually using the move Fly? We can't go on your word alone. ~ overgrownsol 23:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
I HAVE AN IDEA!!! I'm going to submit this arguement to Pokemon.com, and hopefully they'll respond on the website. (You know that Phione controversy on the website when they changed their answer? ([1]) I sent that question in.) --Theryguy512 23:45, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
what phione contreversy?

Smeargle

Should Smeargle's move Sketch be included here because it can use Fly outside of battle after it is learned? Just a random question, no need to yell at me if it shouldn't.--Tom 17:55, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Flying Pikachu

Shouldn't Pikachu be added to the list of Pokémon able to learn Fly be added to this list, as it is possible to catch a Pikachu knowing the move in the Yellow Forest PokéWalker course (obviously it would need to be added under special)?Watchermark 22:16, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Delibird

Well, i'm updating the anime section, and i think i'm going to get rid of delibird and heracross, especially Delibrid. In the picture, Delibird is just flying, not carrying anyone on its back. I wrote in the Surf anime section a while ago and it got deleted, the person saying that all Pokemon that can swim can learn surf, but accoring to the Delibird pic, that means all Pokemon with wings can learn Fly, which is untrue. So, i'm going to delete it, if you want you can put it back up, but I'm going to get rid of it. (and Heracross too, because Heracross can't learn it). Littlmiget123 14:39, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I also got rid of Garchomp 2, since it can't learn it. Sorry people! Littlmiget123 14:39, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

HootHoot

I just went to Falkner's article and it says his HootHoot used Fly in the episode, but it doesn't say that in the fly article. I haven't seen the episode so im not sure if it really did use fly. - unsigned comment from Lambie (talkcontribs)

It never uses fly, I've seen the episode. Littlmiget123 13:13, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh My Arceus!!

What in the world is up with the bottom of this page? --Landfish7 13:42, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think Arceus is a Bug type. Bladecutter 17:23, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
It's called Arceus type. Arceus's type changes every day to a random type. Littlmiget123 00:41, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
