 ===Offense===
-Offensively, Flying-type moves are usually only useful when benefited by [[same-type attack bonus]] and for their strength against the {{t|Fighting}} type. As well as advantages to the common Bug and Grass types, most fully evolved Flying types have above-average {{Stat|Attack}} and {{Stat|Speed}} [[stats]]. However, having below average {{Stat|Special Attack}} makes moves such as {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Air Slash}} almost useless, unless used by Flying-type outliers with high Special Attack such as Togekiss or Yanmega. Despite this disadvantage, the Flying type pairs well with other fairly common attacking types. Now that {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Ghost}}-type moves are no longer resisted by {{t|Steel}} in Generation VI, the Flying-type pairs well with these two types along with the {{t|Water}} and {{t|Fighting}} types. The type itself is also useful for being able to hit any opponent in a [[Triple Battle]].
