Bird (type): Difference between revisions

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} [[core series]] games, it is an unused [[Physical move|physical type]]. Due to its absence from the [[Type/Type chart|type matchup chart]], any potential Bird-type move would always deal {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|neutral damage}}.

The table below shows all the defined types as of Generation II by index order.

In the English versions of the Generation I games, the [[Gym guide]] of [[Vermilion Gym]] refers to Flying-type Pokémon as "bird Pokémon", which was mistakenly adapted to Bird-type Pokémon in the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he clearly mentions types and correctly identifies the Flying type as {{j|ひこうタイプ}} ''Flying type''.

This type is commonly known in the Western fandom due to the [[glitch Pokémon]] [[MissingNo.]] and [['M (00)]] having it as one of their types in the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
