Defensively, the Flying type is useful for its immunity to the common {{type|Ground}} move {{m|Earthquake}} and its resistance to {{t|Fighting}}. However, the Flying type's weaknesses aren't uncommon and can often offset the benefits of immunity to Ground, especially due to many dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon. However, most Flying types have access to {{m|Roost}}, allowing them to restore their health. Flying types usually have below average defense stats, making them vulnerable to most physical attacks, super effective or not. Additionally, the fact that many Flying types are part Normal makes their resistance to the Fighting type ineffective.

Flying-type Pokémon that use the move {{m|Roost}} will temporarily lose their Flying type, making them vulnerable to Ground-type moves respectively. If a pure-Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{t|???}} type in [[Generation IV]] and a Normal type in [[Generation V]].
