 ==Trivia==
-* Prior to Generation V, this type was the only one of the seventeen that was never seen as an authentic pure type; {{p|Tornadus}} is the first pure Flying-type. Each other type, besides the {{type2|Fighting}}, has also been paired with the Flying type on at least one Pokémon.
+* Prior to Generation V, this type was the only one of the seventeen that was never seen as an authentic pure type; {{p|Tornadus}} is the first pure Flying-type.
 * The Flying-type has been paired with every other type, except the {{type2|Fighting}}. This ties it with the {{type2|Water}} for the most types it is paired with.
-** Although Normal is not typically paired up with other types, it is the most common type paired with Flying.
+* Although Normal is not typically paired up with other types, it is the most common type paired with Flying.
-** Every dual-typed Flying Pokémon has Flying as its secondary type.
+* Every dual-typed Flying Pokémon has Flying as its secondary type.
-* At least two Normal/Flying evolutionary lines and at least one Water/Flying Pokémon have been introduced in every generation so far.
-* All types that resist Flying (Electric, Rock and Steel) are weak to Ground and all types that resist Ground (Bug and Grass) are weak to Flying.
-**However, because Flying-types are both immune to Ground and are not weak to Flying-types themselves, Ground and Flying do not create perfect type coverage (as all Electric/Flying, Rock/Flying, and Steel/Flying Pokémon resist them).
 * Each generation has introduced at least one part-Flying legendary Pokémon.
 * There has been a Flying-type Pokémon introduced in every generation whose name begins with the letters M and S.
 * For each possible [[Elemental type|type]] combination with a double weakness to Flying, there is at least one Pokémon with that type combination. Bug/Grass consist of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}, which are in the same evolutionary line, {{p|Wormadam}} Plant Cloak, and {{p|Sewaddle}}, {{p|Swadloon}}, and {{p|Leavanny}} which are also in the same evolutionary line, while Grass/Fighting and Bug/Fighting consist of {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Breloom}}, and {{p|Virizion}}
-** The same is true for {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}} and {{type2|Psychic}}s.
-* Some Flying-type moves have nothing to do with the action of flying, but rather things that a bird can do such as {{m|Peck|peck}} things with its beak or {{m|Pluck|pluck}} things with its feet.
 * All damage-dealing Flying-type moves except {{m|Air Cutter}} can hit non-adjacent Pokémon in [[triple battle]]s.
