    So my friend is making a Pokemon league type tournament for our friends and others to join.
    I need help building an all flying team. So far I have 5 IV Charizard and 5 IV Noyvern and my Yveltal.
    The other 3 slots are open.
    I was thinking of using Talonflame, Zapdos, and Dragonite as well, any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    You could also use Gliscor and Gyarados. They are part Flying after all, and they work well together, since Gliscor is immune to Electric, is neutral to Rock, and makes for a great physical wall. Gyarados can check most Rock types and is neutral to Ice attacks, and is overall a good poke. Zapdos is probably good too to deal with Water types, who commonly carry Ice attacks. I'm not sure if you'd wanna use both Dragonite AND Noivern on the same team, since then you'll have 2 pokes that are 4x weak to Ice.

    So, if I were you, I'd use these Pokemon for your mono-Flying team:
    -Mega Charizard Y
    -Yveltal
    -Dragonite/Noivern
    -Gliscor
    -Gyarados
    -Zapdos

    Although Gale Wings Talonflame is really nice too...

    And do you need sets, or are you good?

    Along with the ones that Zekrom mentioned, you could also try Skarmory. Its Defense stat is extremely high; it'd be able to make a great physical wall for your team.

    Skarmory (M) @ Shed Shell
    Trait: Sturdy
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
    Bold Nature
    - Stealth Rock
    - Spikes
    - Whirlwind
    - Roost

    Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Sturdy
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
    Impish Nature
    - Spikes
    - Stealth rock
    - Roost
    - Brave Bird

    Here's an offensive set:

    Skarmory (M) @ Choice Band
    Trait: Weak Armor
    EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    Jolly Nature
    - Drill Peck / Brave Bird
    - Night Slash
    - Rock Slide
    - X-Scissor

    Pretty sure I need at least something to go on for it. Not much of a flying type expert so anything helps really.
