Flying (type): Difference between revisions

The '''Flying type''' (Japanese: '''ひこうタイプ''' ''Flying type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Flying-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, and {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Flying-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} moves.

===Additional effects===

From [[Generation II]] onwards, Flying-type Pokémon are not considered [[grounded]] for effects that affect grounded Pokémon (e.g. [[entry hazard]]s). This makes Flying-type Pokémon immune to the [[Ability]] {{a|Arena Trap}}, the [[move]] {{m|Rototiller}}, and all entry hazards (except {{m|Stealth Rock}}), but also from the benefits of [[terrain]]s (though they can still use Seeds). If Flying-type Pokémon lose their ungrounded status by methods like holding [[Iron Ball]] or being under the effect of moves such as {{m|Ingrain}} ([[Generation IV]] onward), {{m|Gravity}}, {{m|Smack Down}} or {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, they also lose their immunity to Ground-type Pokémon in addition to those benefitted from being ungrounded. Holding [[Ring Target]] makes them lose their type immunity to {{t|Ground}} type moves, but keeps ungrounded status for other effects.

When a Flying-type uses the move {{m|Roost}}, introduced in [[Generation IV]], 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.

The move {{m|Sky Drop}}, introduced in [[Generation V]], allows the user to pick up a Flying-type Pokémon and make it unable to move. However, on the next turn, Sky Drop will fail and free the target, even if the target is grounded.

The effectiveness of the move {{m|Flying Press}}, introduced in [[Generation VI]], is calculated by multiplying the effectiveness of its move type (usually {{t|Fighting}}) and the Flying type.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Flying-type Pokémon|pages}} Flying-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Flying-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Flying-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]]), making it the 4th most common type after {{t|Grass}} and before {{t|Psychic}}. All other types have been paired up with Flying at least once — in [[Generation VI]], after the release of {{p|Hawlucha}}, Flying became the first type to have this trait.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.
