Please feel free to edit this page. Major changes to this page should be discussed on the talk page.

The Bird type (Japanese: とりタイプ Bird type) is a less common type that has been featured in the Pokémon games and anime.

In the games

In the Generation I and II core series games, it is an unused physical type. Due to its absence from the type matchup chart, any potential Bird-type move would always deal 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 Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he clearly mentions types and correctly identifies the Flying type as 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 Pokémon Red and Blue.
