Defensively, the Flying type is very useful for its immunity to the powerful {{type|Ground}} moves and its resistance to {{t|Fighting}}. However, many Flying types have a secondary type that is weak to Fighting, most notably {{t|Normal}}, making their resistance to the Fighting type ineffective. In addition, its weaknesses to {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Ice}} are common. Almost all Flying types are dual-typed, thus making some vulnerable to double weaknesses. | Defensively, the Flying type is very useful for its immunity to the powerful {{type|Ground}} moves and its resistance to {{t|Fighting}}.

Flying-type Pokémon are also unaffected by all [[entry hazard]]s with exception of {{m|Stealth Rock}}, which inflicts damage to Flying types equal to at least a quarter of their HP unless they are also Ground-, Fighting-, or {{type|Steel}}. | ||
Despite this, most Flying types have access to {{m|Roost}}, allowing them to restore their health and temporarily lose their Flying type. However, this also makes them vulnerable to Ground-type moves. 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]] onwards. | Despite this, most Flying types have access to {{m|Roost}}, allowing them to restore their health and temporarily lose their Flying type.
