Flying pokemon are quite useful in that
many of them can fly you around. Basically though their attacks kill the same things as fire pokemon. Except that they are now
more important due to the increased use of fighting types.
Here we go:
Pidgey
Pidgeotto
Pidgeot
An okay normal Flyer.
Spearow
Fearow
As far as I can tell there is no real advantage to having a fearow over a pidgeot. Pidgeot has much better
stats. However they learn better flying moves like peck and drill peck and they learn them earlier.
Farfetched
YOu can get a baton passing one in stadium2 but there's really no reason to use it.
Stats are mediocre at best.
Doduo
Can be Bred:
Haze
Dodrio
It has no wings and yet it can learn fly hmm. Anyway Dodrio is fast and has high attack. It can get the second best flying attack-Drill Peck. It's quite a powerful
Flying normal and is an excellent choice
Zubat
Golbat
Crobat
A VERY fast pokemon. Little in the way of defensive stats and good as an annoyer or possibly hazer.
Butterfree
This guy and Beedrill are basically not worth using. Their stats are not particularly good.
Can be used as a paralysis switcher but with it's bad stats you would probably only get to paralyse 2 pokemon at most.
Charizard
Learns Wing attack and can be bred rock slide an Ancient power. A good flyer but beware it's 4X rock weakness.
Scyther
Learns wing attack and with the increase in power of Wing attack It's a great move for scyther. Learns swords dance and double team.
Fast with already high attack. Give it a Bug Type hidden power For maximum power. Mostly overshadowed by it's evolution.
Gyrados
Nope gyrados isn't a true dragon it's water flying. Unfortunately it's can't get ANY flying moves and has an unfortunate double weakness to electricity.
Aerodactyl
An excellent flying pokemon that is very fast, with high attack and can get earthquake.
Articuno Zapdos and Moltres
All are good flying pokemon. Like I have said before it's not a good idea to have more than one legendary birds on
a team. Zapdos is probably the best of the three and is probably the only good paralysis shuffler. Articuno is very nearly useless. It's type offers few advantages and it's move compatibility is poor.
Dragonite
Now that it can get wing attack Dragonite is a force to be reckoned with as a flyer. FAntascially powerful it is one of the best flyers.
Hoot-hoot
Noctowl
Lets face it Noctowl is pretty questinoable as is pidgeot and Fearow. Not really worth using.
Togepi
Togetic
Yet another flying normal that is lacking in usefulness. Defensively oriented but even it's defense isn't that great.
Natu
Can be bred haze, Faint attack and drill peck
Xatu
Flying Psychic really isn't the best combination. Most pure psychics or flyers are better.
Useable with caution.
Mantain
Learns A flying move but has NO attack o use it with. Like Gyarados it's double weak to electricity. But has extreme special defense.
Skarmory
A real powerhouse Lacks most of the normal flying weaknesses and is a good counter to tanks and baton passers.
Hoppip
Jumpluff
Grass Flying is just a wierd type. Fast and learns a range of powders so it a great paralyser and not a bad starter. But beware of electrics with Ice power.
Gligar If Grass flying wasn't bizaare Ground Flying should be. Best coming from stadium2 with earthquake and wing attack. Great on Toxic storm teams. Like jumpluff double weak to ice.
Murkrow Look under Dark Types
Yanma
Pretty well unusable. Learns Wing attack in Crystal though . . .
Leidan
Again Much like yanma Look somewhere else.
Delibird
Continuing with pokemon that shouldn't be used . . . .This guy should be avoided like th plague.
Back to 150 by type
