Flying (type): Difference between revisions

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 the {{t|Water}} and {{t|Fighting}} types and are also useful for being able to hit any opponent in a [[Triple Battle]].

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