Sky High: Flying-Type Fan Club

Yay Flying types!

Username: Olli
Partner Pokemon: Pidgey!
Reason for Joining: Hands down one of my favourite typings. To be fair, most of the cause of that is probably from Pidgey's team effort, but I always use the starter birds, and I've always loved them, and coupling that together with all the other Flying types I've used during my time playing Pokemon, it's safe to say that this typing is high up there on my favourites list. They may often be relatively weak, and fall off the further you get into the game, but my team just feels incomplete without one. And seriously, Fly is one of the most important HM's to have ever been introduced, it'd suck to not have someone who can use it. Generally, I usually always have a spot reserved for Flying types, even if it may usually be occupied by the starter birds :p

What is your Favorite Flying Type Pokemon and Why?

Been telling this story a million times, but eh. Pidgey's always been my favourite, both for Flying types and between all Pokemon. Well maybe Charmander might've been my favourite in the 10 minutes that went before I caught my first Pidgey. But it's the first Pokemon I remember catching and training to level 100, and I quickly grew attached to it in whatever playthrough this might've been (pretty sure it was the first in which I ever actually beat the game). There may not be much special about it, but I've just always really liked it, and the fact that it was the first one I ever remember catching just solidified that bond. So I guess there isn't much of a specific reason, considering it honestly isn't that strong coimpared to a lot of other Flying types. But yeah :p

also bird jesus

Answer the current topic: Can't say I have a favorite Flying-type, but I do fancy the Kanto legendary birds and Lugia and Ho-Oh as well.

Here is all 3 of my Flying monotype teams

Username: AoTora
Partner Pokemon: Togekiss!
Reason for Joining: It's my second favourite type right after normal one :) I love to use fly a lot ~ so as soon as I get it in game I keep it till the end ^_^
Answer the Current Topic:

What is your favourite flying type and why? Togekiss! Why? I honestly don't know - but I've used it a lot lately -I like it's design and I like metronome lol but yeah it's fun to use and I love normal/flying type combination ~ I also love Togekiss's ability. Close after him are Staraptor, Swoobat and Swanna ^_^

I'm adding you all now! I just made a Flying Userbar that you're welcome to use, but it kind of sucks! So if anyone wants to make a new one, please do :3

I noticed the lack of a Noivern sprite, so here you go:

Username: Kameken
Partner Pokemon: Noivern
Reason for Joining: There's a certain grace and feel to flying types that makes them seem more special than types like dragon or water. They're capable of speeding past many threats, taking out fighting types handily, and even becoming invulnerable when flying at their peak, something not many can boast. Even when flying type is a burden, it can be quickly removed with a smartly placed roost.

What is your Favorite Flying Type Pokemon and Why?
Noivern is a quick, sleek, and well designed flyer, and my main noivern, Bills, has helped me get through more than his fair share of losing battles.

Username: Flushed
Partner Pokemon: Combee
Reason for Joining: It's about time I join a club.
Answer the Current Topic: Combee lol. It's adorable and that obviously trumps all competitive aspects (otherwise I would've picked Hawlucha or Staraptor). There are actually quite a lot of pokemon I'd pick haha.

Yay new Flying-type club is up! Gonna join right now.

Username: Hikamaru
Partner Pokemon: Emolga
Reason for joining: I joined the previous Flying-type clubs, so why not do it again? But also, I love Flying Pokemon because it's the only type to have had a dual typing with every other type plus they are versatile and can learn some very useful moves. Oh, and they can hit anything in triple battles, even on the out-of-reach end of the field, which is something most other types can rarely do.

What is your Favorite Flying Type Pokemon and Why?

Emolga is definitely my absolute fave Flying-type due to being so adorable, plus it's an electric rodent which I love so much. Some of my other faves include Vivillon, the butterfly that comes in loads of different wing patterns, Togekiss which is cute and a strong attacker with solid defenses, Altaria because I love its cloud wings and it's a beautiful Pokemon to look at. Sigilyph for its design and ability to play offensive and defensive quite well. Also, Talonflame and Staraptor for being pretty strong early-route birds, both are quite hard-hitters. Yeah I have so many fave Flying Pokemon!

Added you all!
Anyways, I guess I'll state my Favorite Flying Pokemon!
I think I have to go with Charizard. I love the dragon design and I've used it so many times and it's helped me so much, that I can't just not say Charizard.

P.S. Thanks for the Sprite Wicked3DS.

Unfortunately, no it's main type is Water/Dark. However, that was a very good try! :D. You're welcome to use him in a water or dark type fan club ;).

Anyways, welcome to the club! I didn't realize how adorable Farfetch'd was until now!

Even though it never evolves, I'm always content to use a Farfetch'd. They can learn so many high-critical hits! I used one in a Nuzlocke of Pokemon Y (the in-game trade with the NPC) and he survived until I beat the game. Great speed and Brave Bird destroys so many things :)

Farfetch'd is really underrated, especially with leaf blade. Still a shame game freak doesn't give it attention, though.

Farfetch'd needs a mega evolution that makes it dark and flying type :O

Like this!

Yeahh, Farfetch'd is one of those Pokemon I feel like should get more attention. To be fair, I feel like a lot of the bird Pokemon that aren't starter birds generally don't get much recognition, but I'd love to see Game Freak fix that somehow :o Farfetch'd and Skarmory are two Pokemon I'd love to see them do something more with, especially with Farfetch'd. I reckon it'd get a bit more recognition if just had something to build up people's interest, but since there's already better choices for Flying types, it's just left in the dark D: So yeah, an evolution would definitely help it.

I'd like to see some pure Flying-type Pokemon. The eventual Eevee evolution will be mono-type, but something other than a legendary needs to be pure at least once.

I understand the mixing with Normal-type for birds... but there has to be something they can come up with.

I really don't wanna see more Eeveelutions unless we get more types.
There seems to be too many, imo.

I would like more pure Flying Types. That whole Normal/Flying combo takes away the resistance of fighting moves which are a big part in almost every game.

I always think Farfetch'd needs more love, particularly given one of the moves he learns is the strong Grass-type move Leaf Blade. However, I love how X/Y made Farfetch'd slightly more better for the early part of the game, thanks to that one you get in a trade in Santalune City, which comes with the perfect-accuracy Flying-type move Aerial Ace. It's pretty much there to help you beat the first Gym and also becomes pretty handy at catching stuff too thanks to being able to use False Swipe.
