Flying-type Pokémon:
Characteristics
Defensively, the Flying type is useful for its immunity to the common Ground-type move Earthquake and its resistance to Fighting. The Flying-type's weaknesses aren't rare types and can often offset the benefits of immunity to Ground.
Offensively, Flying-type moves are usually only useful when benefited by same-type attack bonus. The types Flying is super effective against aren't common, and being not very effective against Steel is never good.
