Flying (type): Difference between revisions

From [[Generation II]] onwards, Flying-type Pokémon are not considered [[grounded]] for effects that affect grounded Pokémon (e.g. [[entry hazard]]s). This makes Flying-type Pokémon immune to the [[Ability]] {{a|Arena Trap}}, the [[move]] {{m|Rototiller}}, and all entry hazards (except {{m|Steal Rock}}), but also from the benefits of [[terrain]]s (though they can still use Seeds). If Flying-type Pokémon lose their ungrounded status by methods like holding [[Iron Ball]] or being under the effect of moves such as {{m|Ingrain}} ([[Generation IV]] onward), {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Smack Down}} or {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, they also lose their immunity to Ground-type Pokémon in addition to those benefitted from being ungrounded. Holding [[Ring Target]] makes them lose their type immunity to {{t|Ground}} type moves, but keeps ungrounded status for other effects.
