*Oddly, despite being part {{type2|Flying}}, it isn't able to learn Flying-type moves. However it can learn certain {{type2|Dragon}} moves, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|DragonBreath}}. There is some speculation that its secondary type was supposed to be Dragon instead of Flying. Also his dual Water/Flying type could of been given to "tone it down" because it is a powerful Pokémon but it has a x4 weakness to electric type.
