In addition to being immune to {{type|Ground}} attacks, Flying-type Pokémon are unaffected by {{m|Rototiller}} and all [[entry hazard]]s except {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and Pokémon that are both {{t|Poison}} and Flying-type cannot absorb {{m|Toxic Spikes}} simply by switching in. Flying-type Pokémon also do not receive the positive effects from [[terrain]]s. These immunities, as well as the immunity to {{a|Arena Trap}}, are removed when a Flying-type Pokémon is affected by {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, or [[Iron Ball]]. | |||
When a Flying-type uses {{m|Roost}}, it temporarily loses its Flying type for a turn. If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a {{t|???}} type in [[Generation IV]] and a {{t|Normal}} type in [[Generation V]] onward. Moreover, most Flying types can learn {{m|Tailwind}} via [[Move Tutor]], which assists themselves and their allies by doubles the {{stat|Speed}} for three turns, thus making their [[party]] move faster. | |||
There is a [[Mysterious air current|special type of weather]] that can only be activated by the Ability {{a|Delta Stream}}. It causes moves that would be super effective against pure Flying-type Pokémon to have a neutral type multiplier against the Flying type instead. | There is a [[Mysterious air current|special type of weather]] that can only be activated by the Ability {{a|Delta Stream}}.

Flying-type Pokémon, on average, have the highest {{stat|Speed}} of all Pokémon and of fully-evolved Pokémon. <!--As of Generation 7--> | |||

Flying-type attacks are very powerful combined with some other attacking types, most notably {{t|Ground}}. Ground is strong against every type that resists Flying, and vice versa, so this combination is resisted only by Flying-type Pokémon whose other type resists Flying (such as an {{t|Electric}} Flying Pokémon). | |||
Flying | The effectiveness of the move {{m|Flying Press}} is calculated by multiplying the effectiveness of its move type (usually {{t|Fighting}}) and the Flying type. | ||
