The '''Flying type''' (Japanese: '''ひこうタイプ''' ''Flying type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. 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.

In addition to being immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks and {{a|Arena Trap}}, Flying-type Pokémon are unaffected by {{m|Rototiller}} and all [[entry hazard]]s (except {{m|Stealth Rock}}). Flying-type Pokémon also cannot absorb {{m|Toxic Spikes}} simply by switching in and do not receive the benefits from [[terrain]]s (though they can still use Seeds). These immunities, as well as the immunity to Arena Trap, are removed when a Flying-type Pokémon is [[grounded]] by {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, or [[Iron Ball]]. {{m|Sky Drop}} can pick up a Flying-type target and make it unable to move. On the next turn, Sky Drop will fail and free the target, even if the target is grounded.

When a Flying-type uses {{m|Roost}}, it temporarily loses its Flying type for a turn. 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]] onward.

Flying-type attacks are very powerful combined with some other attacking types, most notably {{t|Ground}}. Ground is strong against every type that resists Flying, and vice versa, so this combination is resisted only by Flying-type Pokémon whose other type resists Flying (such as an {{t|Electric}} Flying Pokémon).

The effectiveness of the move {{m|Flying Press}} is calculated by multiplying the effectiveness of its move type (usually {{t|Fighting}}) and the Flying type.

As of [[Generation VIII]], there are 105 Flying-type Pokémon or 11.7% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Flying-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]]), making it the fourth most common type. Every other type has been paired up with the Flying type at least once.
As of [[Generation VIII]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Flying-type Pokémon|pages}} Flying-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Flying-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Flying-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]]), making it the 4th most common type after {{t|Grass}} and before {{t|Psychic}}. All other types have been paired up with Flying at least once - after the official release of {{p|Hawlucha}}, Flying became the first type to have this trait.

Revision as of 12:00, 25 February 2021

This article is about the official type. For the scrapped type in core Generation I games, see List of glitch types (Generation I) → Bird.

Types

The Flying type (Japanese: ひこうタイプ Flying type) is one of the eighteen types. 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

In addition to being immune to Ground-type attacks and Arena Trap, Flying-type Pokémon are unaffected by Rototiller and all entry hazards (except Stealth Rock). Flying-type Pokémon also cannot absorb Toxic Spikes simply by switching in and do not receive the benefits from terrains (though they can still use Seeds). These immunities, as well as the immunity to Arena Trap, are removed when a Flying-type Pokémon is grounded by Ingrain, Gravity, Smack Down, Thousand Arrows, or Iron Ball. Sky Drop can pick up a Flying-type target and make it unable to move. On the next turn, Sky Drop will fail and free the target, even if the target is grounded.

When a Flying-type uses Roost, it temporarily loses its Flying type for a turn. If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a ??? type in Generation IV and a Normal type in Generation V onward.

Flying-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest Speed of all Pokémon and of fully-evolved Pokémon.

Offense

Flying-type attacks are very powerful combined with some other attacking types, most notably Ground. Ground is strong against every type that resists Flying, and vice versa, so this combination is resisted only by Flying-type Pokémon whose other type resists Flying (such as an Electric Flying Pokémon).

The effectiveness of the move Flying Press is calculated by multiplying the effectiveness of its move type (usually Fighting) and the Flying type.

Contest properties

In Contests, Flying-type moves are typically Cool moves.

Pokémon

As of Generation VIII, there are 112 Flying-type Pokémon or 10.93% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Flying-type in at least one of their forms), making it the 4th most common type after Grass and before Psychic. All other types have been paired up with Flying at least once - after the official release of Hawlucha, Flying became the first type to have this trait.
