Defensively, the Flying type is useful for its immunity to the common {{type2|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 combination {{t|Rock}}/{{t|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 physical most attacks, super effective or not. | Defensively, the Flying type is useful for its immunity to the common {{type2|Ground}} move {{m|Earthquake}} and its resistance to {{t|Fighting}}.

Offensively, Flying-type moves are usually only useful when benefited by [[same-type attack bonus]]. The types Flying is [[Damage modification#Super effective|super effective]] against aren't common, and being not very effective against {{t|Steel}} is never good. In their favor though, most fully evolved Flying-types have above-average {{Stat|Attack}} and {{Stat|Speed}} [[stats]]. However, having below average {{Stat|Special Attack}} makes such moves as {{m|Air Slash}} almost useless | Offensively, Flying-type moves are usually only useful when benefited by [[same-type attack bonus]].

When used in contests, Flying-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]]-type, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]]. | When used in contests, Flying-type moves typically become [[Cool Contest|Cool]]-type, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]]. | ||
