The '''Bird type''' (Japanese: '''{{j|とりタイプ}}''' ''Bird type'') is an unused type in the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games. It is coded in as a [[Damage category|physical type]] with index number 0x06, after {{t|Rock}} and before {{t|Bug}}. Its name was dummied out in the non-English European releases of the Generation II games. It has no type matchups defined, so is neutrally effective against all types, and all types are neutrally effective against it.
The table below shows all the defined types as of Generation II by index order.

In the English versions of the Generation I games, the [[Gym guide]] of [[Vermilion Gym]] refers to Flying-type Pokémon as "bird Pokémon", which was mistakenly adjusted to Bird-type Pokémon in the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he clearly mentions types and correctly identifies the Flying type as {{j|ひこうタイプ}} ''Flying type''.
 
In the [[Pokémon anime]], especially the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub, the Flying type is often mistakenly referred to as the Bird type. It is also mentioned in ''[[Song of Origin]]'', the Japanese ending for ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.


This type is commonly known in the Western fandom due to the [[glitch Pokémon]] [[MissingNo.]] and [['M (00)]] having it as one of their types in the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
