Glad to see a Flying-type Club here. After playing most of the Pokemon games, Flying types are my most favorite.
- Your nickname: GiovanniViridian - Your Flying-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Emolga - Reason for joining the club: Flying types are my most favorite since they now reach a point where every other type has been paired up with the Flying-type at least once. Also most of my favorite Pokemon are flying types and I love most or even all of them. Who's your favorite Flying-type Gym Leader? Why? Eh, I like all of them. Falkner: I enjoyed his character in HG/SS. I loved when he talked about his father especially when he talked about it with Janine. Winona: Her attacking style and her Altaria. Skyla: Her gyms in B/W and B2/W2 are crazy. Cannons and strong fans, what a madness. |
Who's your favorite Flying-type Gym Leader? Why?
Skyla, as for why. She's a pilot so flying comes as a grace to her. - Your nickname: DarkSkys - Your Flying-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Pidgey, though I'd take Rayquaza if I could :P - Reason for joining the club: I love Flying types, always have one in any team I have. |
Hello new members of our Glorious Flying-type Club! Sincerest apology for late add as I was busy updating our club's Campaign Partner section!
Quote:
Skyla's definitely a babe. :P I love the different personality between Winona and her while they are female Flying-tamers which makes the whole thing interesting! Quote:
Falkner's a hot guy ain't he? ;) Yep, I'm surprised with Winona's lead! I was expecting Skyla > Falkner > Winona, to be honest (Despite Winona being my top favorite). Quote:

Current Topic: Flying-type has only 3 weaknesses, which however, are common type-moves particularly in the competitive field. How does your Flying-type Pokémon's team mate assist it? The member with an answer that catches my eye receives a special shiny Pokémon in our Flying-type Campaign as a reward! |
Flying-type has only 3 weaknesses, which however, are common type-moves particularly in the competitive field. How does your Flying-type Pokémon's team mate assist it?
Usually Rock Slide is the main one I see, which is where I use Air Slash a lot, hopes to make them flinch. Though I do mostly Double Battles, I have a Jolteon with high SP Def & Def from ST. Ability is Lighting Rod, Moves is Thunder, Earthquake etc/ So I use it to take out the Rock Slide/Thunder user. As for Ice Beam, I always have a Fire type, more then likely Charizard, though if its a water type such as Lapras. Jolteon & Thunder. |
Flying-type has only 3 weaknesses, which however, are common type-moves particularly in the competitive field. How does your Flying-type Pokémon's team mate assist it?
I feel like a Flying-type and Ground-type synergize really well, since they can cover nearly each other's weaknesses, and most Ground Pokemon can learn Rock moves which can handle the Ice weakness that would usually trouble them (and Flying-types). |
Current Topic: Flying-type has only 3 weaknesses, which however, are common type-moves particularly in the competitive field. How does your Flying-type Pokémon's team mate assist it?
My team mate will be a fighting type, since it's super-effective against rock types and ice types which are strong against flying types. The other weakness for flying-type will be the electric type, but since my Emolga is also an Electric type as well it pretty much does x1 damage. |
Current Topic: Flying-type has only 3 weaknesses, which however, are common type-moves particularly in the competitive field. How does your Flying-type Pokémon's team mate assist it?
Those weakness are namely Electric, Ice and Rock type moves. Swinub and its evolutionary forms are the perfect team mate for Flying-types. Or a sturdy Fighting Pokémon like Conkeldurr and Machamp make good partners as well. |
The answer that catches my eye is from...
Hikamaru Congratulations! Here's your promised special Shiny Pokémon! Spoiler:
On to our current topic for this week: Create a team for your favorite Gym Leader, with at least 2 Pokémon and 5 as maximum. Remember to Highlight this Gym Leader's ace and please explain why have you chosen these Flying-type Pokémon in particular. The member with an answer that catches my eye receives a Black Rayquaza* and a Salamencite*. **Campaign only. |
Bump.

The last topic proved to be a failure, so everything about it including the prizes are scrapped. xD
Main topic: Your favorite Flying-type offensive move? Why? Sub-topics: (Optional) Sub-topic 1: Which Flying-type status move are you fond of? Sub-topic 2:If there is something you can change from your favorite Flying-type offensive move and/or status move, what changes are they? (It doesn't matter if you're going to make it overpower, they just need to make sense.) Sub-topic 3: Your least favorite Flying-type move? Why? |
Oh hey, thanks for the shiny Articuno :3
Your favorite Flying-type offensive move? Why? I always love Air Slash as far as the special department goes, with its flinch chance and decently good base power, often becoming a staple of special-based Flying-types. Fly and Aerial Ace are some of my faves from the physical department thanks to reliability and the latter's really wide distribution even among non Flying-types. Which Flying-type status move are you fond of? I always love Roost for its self-healing, and Feather Dance I have also seen been lifesavers at times (thinks of Grus the Unfezant from my bud Pendraflare's White 2 Wedlocke) but other than that, not else I can think of right now. Your least favorite Flying-type move? Gust I think, which is fairly weak and seems to be learned by a lot more physical-oriented Flying-types for some reason. I also find the move's animation pretty boring. |
Quote:
Your favorite Flying-type offensive move? Why? My favorite would be Brave Bird! Despite the recoil, I love how insanely strong that move is! ^^ My Staraptor and Talonflame spams this move a lot. It's most likely a OHKO (or two) after using this move. Which Flying-type status move are you fond of? Tail Wind, it's one of the best supportive moves out there! Your least favorite Flying-type move? Sky Drop, it's useless against Flying-types and then it doesn't have an impressive Base Power. |
Quote:
Tailwind I remember screwing me up in quite a few battles, particularly those rental battles in the PWT where I would get wrecked solely because you have to kill everything as quickly as they can or they will kill you, but I can see why it's a very useful move. And I do agree with you on Sky Drop. It has a very shallow roster and in 6th Gen they even made it unable to work on certain Pokemon because the new mechanics for the move now put the weight of the target into account and if it's a very heavy Pokemon you can't lift it up. It should have never even been a TM because it felt like a waste of a TM slot if you ask me. |
New topic:
Do you think 'Bird Pokémon' should be a separate type from Flying-type? Why/Why not? EDIT: Club rules is updated. I do not want to make the club sounds like a compulsory obligation, but the attendance for our Flying-type Club is too low. Please stay active or according to this club's rules you will be no longer part of the club; you didn't join the club for the sake of joining, right? |
Bump
At this rate this club is gonna shut down, if there are no new posts. :'( {XD} |
Do you think 'Bird Pokémon' should be a separate type from Flying-type? Why/Why not?
I don't really think Bird needs to be its own type. The current Flying-type itself encompasses all elements relating to air in general, such as not just wind-based moves but also moves that you'd associate with flying creatures such as birds which explains the several pecking and wing-based attacks. |
Main-topic:
The introduction have Stealth Rock in Diamond and Pearl made Flying-types more less usable. What do you think about Stealth Rock against Flying-types, specially when moves like Ice Beam, Rock Slide are already common? |
- Your nickname: Venitardus (Joey)
- Your Flying-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Shiny Noibat - Reason for joining the club: Flying types are always amongst my most favorite types and I was surprised when I saw this club and that I wasn't apart of it. Flying types are always apart of my team in the games too. - Answer to the current topic (compulsory): Do you think 'Bird Pokémon' should be a separate type from Flying-type? Why/Why not? No because they are pretty much the same thing. I mean sure, there are some flying types like dragonite and Gyaridos that wouldn't be part of the bird (type) classification but I believe when people hear of the flying type, they think of braviary, swanna , pideot, staraptor, talonflame, Mandibuzz, and all the other bird looking Pokemon. |

Normally shinies can't be obtained like that, but I'll make you an exception since you are active in the Club Section! ;) Main-topic: The introduction have Stealth Rock in Diamond and Pearl made Flying-types more less usable. What do you think about Stealth Rock against Flying-types, specially when moves like Ice Beam, Rock Slide are already common? |
Quote:
About the main topic, I hate it. I absolutely hate going up against stealth rocks. I don't ever use flying types (besides charizard, but I mega evolve it) because the entrie hazard makes my flying types dead when they come out. Ice beam and rock slide can miss. |
- Your nickname: TwilightBlade (Blade)
- Your Flying-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Pidgey - Reason for joining the club: Flying Pokemon are very cute, majestic, and reliable! They always carry me around the region without complaining. :') My fliers have been Pidgeot (RBY GS FRLG), Skarmory (Crystal and ORAS), Swellow (RSE), Staraptor (DP), Tropius (Platinum), Unfezant (Black), Sigilyph (White), Crobat (White 2), andd Talonflame (XY)! Do you think 'Bird Pokémon' should be a separate type from Flying-type? Why/Why not? Nope as even if we would distinguish between those with wings (Dragonite, Scyther, etc) and birds, they would still have the same strengths and weaknesses... so I wouldn't bother with actually adding a Bird type.

What do you think about Stealth Rock against Flying-types, specially when moves like Ice Beam, Rock Slide are already common? Heyy if they're going to come up with an entry hazard that hurts Flying, then they should make variants of it that hurt Electrics and Psychics and Fires and Waters and so on. |
Quote:
Quote:
Let's face it, majority of Flying-types aren't good at the defensive area. So that hazard made Flying-type nearly unusable in metagame, which obviously contributed with the low popularity of Flying-type, despite the cool image of Pidgeot, Braviary etc. Yes, they should introduce more different hazard variants to balance the whole scene. New topic: Your favorite regional bird*? Why? *Pidgey line, Speaow line, Hoothoot line, Taillow line, Starly line, Pidove line and Fletching line. |
Your favorite regional bird*? Why
Id say Fletchling partly cause comeon its got fire and flying types! And also cause Talonflame is very powerful and a pretty competitive pokemon but also because in my opinion Fletchling is the most adorable of the regional lines <3 |
The introduction have Stealth Rock in Diamond and Pearl made Flying-types more less usable. What do you think about Stealth Rock against Flying-types, specially when moves like Ice Beam, Rock Slide are already common?
I feel like the move did hurt a lot of Flying-type usability but then we also have some pretty strong ones running around the higher tiers, like the Kami trio (Tornadus, Landorus and Thundurus) who have been proving themselves as threats, especially Landorus who I always found tough, and there's still Gale Wings Talonflame running amok as well. Your favorite regional bird? Why? Starly and Fletchling lines for me. Staraptor broke the mold of previous birds by having usable attacking power while still being fast, and does a great job for me in the Sinnoh games. Talonflame has that aforementioned Fire/Flying-type and of course, there's that ability Gale Wings which makes it a huge competitive threat. |
Your favorite regional bird*? Why?
The starly line most definitely. It has the best design out of all of them. Also, my FIRST CAUGHT shiny was a shiny staravia. Her name is Bellatrix and is now a shiny Staraptor in my Alpha Sapphire! |

I got my very first Shiny Starly and I gave it to a friend as a birthday present! ^_^ Here's our new topic: Which Flying-type Pokémon deserves a Mega Evolution? Which Flying-type Mega Evolution does not deserve its Mega Evolution? Gyarados, Charizard can be discussed as they are Flying-type before their Mega Evolutions. Topic credited to CharmedGardy @ Psychic-type Club. |
Which Flying-type Pokémon deserves a Mega Evolution?
Which Flying-type Mega Evolution does not deserve its Mega Evolution? I can see all fully evolved flying types have a mega evolution. There isn't really any flying types, besides pre-evolution flying types like staravia, natu, Ect., that shouldn't have a mega. For the next games, however, I hope that Noctowl and staraptor get a mega, with Noctowl turning into either a psychic/flying or ice/flying, and Staraptor turning into a fighting flying. |
Quote:
Unfezant is known as the unpleasant for having movesets that don't really compliment its stats. They could make this amazing bird more defensive/special based attacker if it receives a Mega Evolution. Or simply give it moves that compliments its stats already! It's rather sad to see that Swellow didn't get a Mega Evolution in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, at least it got Brave Bird as a level up move to compensate. |
Which Flying-type Pokémon deserves a Mega Evolution?
Well since Pidgeot got a Mega evolution i think it would be fair if Togekiss got one (: Which Flying-type Mega Evolution does not deserve its Mega Evolution? Id guess Pidgeot did it really need the boost? I mean now its way overused but then again same with Charizard its even bigger and badder than ever. |
Quote:
Let's look at the bst of regional birds plus Togekiss'! Spoiler:
While Pidgeot's BST isn't the lowest, it's definitely not the highest nor the best either. To be honest, as much as I want a Mega for Togekiss, all those region birds are in need more so than the now-part Fairy Pokémon. Before Mega Pidgeot makes it's appearance, it was almost-not usable in any competitive battling ways. :'( Even with a Mega, Mega Pidgeot is barely part of the BL tier. |
Hello, I decided I should be joining some more clubs again.
Your nickname: Lycanthropy (Lycan, Han) Your Flying-Type Club-Campaign Partner: http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/177.png Reason for joining the club: I love flying types! First of all, birds, what the major part of flying types is based on, are very interesting animals. I simply love their elegance the body shape that enables staying airborne. I'm jealous. Secondly, the flying type is the most versatile type in existence, being combined with so many other types. Answer to the highlighted topic (compulsory): see below Which Flying-type Pokémon deserves a Mega Evolution? I think Staraptor and Xatu would be good candidates for a Mega evolution, as both of them doesn't have the best base stats and their designs show possibilities. Staraptor's could be an aggressive fighting/flying bird and Xatu could be an oracle with a cloak. Which Flying-type Mega Evolution does not deserve its Mega Evolution? Rayquaza obviously, it broke the Ubers tier. Aside Rayquaza, I want to mention Charizard and Salamence. Okay, Charizard deserves a Mega evolution, but it's certainly not special enough to deserve two of them. Salamence on the other hand already has semi-legendary base stats, no need for them to be enhanced even more. |
Quote:
I agree with Xatu and Staraptor. Xatu is an interesting Pokémon, the Natu line were the very first Psychic/Flying dual types. They learn a lot of interesting moves (through various methods) like Giga Drain, Heat Wave and so on, which makes them more unique. Magic Bounce is also a great Hidden Ability for Xatu. Unfortunately it doesn't have an outstanding competitive stat to make it stand out among its Psychic or bird peers (on a competitive aspect). It deserves more than that stats, so receiving a Mega Evolution is the only way to make it shine brighter! Staraptor is a personal favorite of mine for being having the access to Close Combat, which sets it apart from its regional birds peer. It's a great Pokémon for in-game, though I believe Staraptor has the ability to soar higher (pun maybe not intended)! So yes, Staraptor should receive a Mega! Charizard received two Megas for being a fan favorite. :( I personally found that unfair to its Kanto starter peers. While Salamence is already tough as you said, I do admit I didn't mind Salamence with a Mega Evolution, as it's one of my favorites! #ObviousBiased |

So it's not the most advanced topic, but... What are your favorite flying type moves? Why? |
Quote:
Hopefully a useful Mega Evolution will be introduced in the next coming game(s). Xatu is one of those who needs a Mega boost as it has potential and no more Mega Audino-ish Megas puhleeeeaase. There's nothing wrong with the topic.~ Don't kill me for copy-pasting my answer though. :P Quote:
|
Well, if there's nobody else (aside Unapologetic) who's going to answer the topic, I'm just going to share my opinion.
What are your favorite flying type moves? Why? My favorite move is the classic Wing Attack thanks to nostalgia and its PP is close to infinite, certainly if you compare it to other moves of similar power. I have used it a lot on my Staraptor in the first Pokémon game I've ever played. Starly learn the move in level 9, which is incredibly early. At the time, it's heavenly overpowered and even later in the game it's a decent move with full accuracy. The high number of PP was incredibly useful when I was grinding by beating wild Geodude (yes, don't look at me, first game). Another very useful move is Air Slash, high power and a chance of flinching, which comes good in handy as most flying types have a fairly decent base speed. Combined with a Thunder Wave the opponent has a high chance to be blocked. My favorite status move is Roost for sure, free healing is always great. Quote:
|
Quote:
Back in the Gen I days, Wing Attack is considered as a good and decent move already. Since it has a relatively high accuracy. I was also surprised when Starly learns Wing Attack early, as the Pidgey line learns the said move late! That combo can be used by Togekiss, I wonder if the now-part Fairy was in your mind when you were typing Air Slash! {XD} Yep, Brave Bird is not to be abused or used for sweeping because of the recoil. I wish the recoil was the same as Close Combat. :( That honor was taken by Dragon Ascent, a Flying type move despite the name. |
What are your favorite flying type moves? Why?
My favorite flying move would have to be fly. It's my favorite mainly because it's used as a form of transportation. And it's the only move that I can remember using the most. |

Current topic: Shall we organize a Flying Monotype Challenge as well? Why? If you're supportive of it, which games* we should consider? (In case of hacked games, make sure the game at least allows us to complete the main plot and compete for the Pokémon League.) |
Quote:
I think any game would do, but I would say games from gen 2 or gem 3 onward for more diversity (even though RBY have a decent amount of flying types like farfecht'd, charizard, pudgy line, spearow line, the 3 legendary birds and dragonite). |

Let's see... Kanto based games Charizard, Gyarados, Dragonite, Zubat line (Crobat is only available in Gen III games, additionally National Dex is needed), Pidgey line, Spearow line, Aerodactyl, Doduo line, Scyther, Butterfree, Farfetch'd. Johto based games Charizard, Gyarados, Dragonite, Zubat line, Pidgey line, Spearow line, Aerodactyl, Doduo line, Scyther, Butterfree, Hoothoot line, Ledyba line, Togetic, Hoppip, Yanma (Its evolution Yanmega is only available in Gen IV games), Murkrow, Gligar, Delibird, Mantine, Farfetch'd, Skarmory. Italic names indicate they can be only caught by trading from Gen I games.

Hoenn based games (Only Gen III) Tailow line, Wingull line, Beautifly, Doduo line, Gyarados, Zubat line, Masquerain, Ninjask, Swablu line, Tropius, Salamence, Skarmory. Sinnoh based games Starly line, Combee line, Beautifly, Hoothoot line, Gyarados, Zubat line, Drifloon line, Murkrow line, Chatot, Mantyke line, Wingull line, Tropius, Scyther, Togetic and Togekiss, Yanma line, Swablu line, Gligar line Bold names indicate they are only available in Platinum normally.

Bold names indicate they are only available in Black 2 and White 2 versions normally. As mentioned before, any hacks are welcomed as long as they have a wide variety of Flying-type Pokémon. In case of non-Flying types edited as Flying-types, they can be used. While Flying-types that are no longer part of the said type cannot be used. Everyone knows this, but I need to include this in case there might be new members. You can play roms, just do not ask for roms in any sections or by any forms of messaging. It violates the global PokéCommunity rules. Thank you! |
So what do you say about BW2? It has the most options for Pokémon, which means we won't all be playing with nearly the same team.

Quote:
I'm not suggesting the following games, but I really can't help and feel sorry for Gen I and all Gen III games's lack of Flying-type Pokémon. GSC and HGSS aren't anywhere better on the said department either. :/ |
- Your nickname: Draco/Seth
- Your Flying-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Starly - Reason for joining the club: I admire Flying-type Pokemon because of the unique control that they have over the skies. The ability to fly is not only useful in battle, but with transport as well; it is a capability that is dreamed of by people and Pokemon alike. My favorite bird Pokemon is Staraptor due to its cool design and ability to learn Close Combat, a move that makes it easy to fend off against types that would normally be advantageous (Ice, Rock, and Steel) Which Flying-type Pokémon deserves a Mega Evolution? Swellow. In terms of stats and movepool, it seems to be lagging behind some of the other regional birds, and becomes more fragile compared to the other birds after a certain height in level; add to that the fact that it it's line only has two stages in evolution. To an extent, the same can also be said about Noctowl. Which Flying-type Mega Evolution does not deserve its Mega Evolution? I don't really think that any of the Flying type megas up to ORAS isn't worthy of their new evolutions. That being said though, Gyarados got even more bulk from it's mega despite already having quite a bit of it. Granted, it does lose its Ground immunity but... |
Quote:
With that aside, please come up and join us with the Flying Monotype Event: Planning and Suggestion now. :) We're trying to plan our first ever event for this club! :D |
Shall we organize a Flying Monotype Challenge as well? Why?
Yes! I've never done any nuzlocke, monotype, or challenge run before, so this is something that sounds very exciting to me. It's worth noting though that progress updates from me would be a bit scarce due to school and everything going on this month. Having played so much of RSE, I have good confidence that I would be able to do a Flying monotype run of those games, but not as much with Emerald due to the adjustments made to Gym Leader teams. Like Wattson's Magneton If you're supportive of it, which games* we should consider? I can't really say anything about the RBY and Sinnoh games, because I've played too little of those games to have a decent judgement on their availability of Flying type Pokemon. Gen III and IV seem to have a good amount of them in terms of combinations, and a lot of the ones present in their games are quite the powerhouses too. However, would non-flying pre-evos be exceptions to the restriction? (ie. 'mons such as Caterpie, Bagon, and Dratini) |

To be honest, I don't really care when it will start. I don't have enough time to effectively race through a game, so I don't think I'll be signing up for the global clubs event. So whether we start right away or in two months, either is fine to me.

Also, I'm throwing in a new topic: What are your feelings on bug/flying types? Opinions on the fact that for example Beautifly is a flying type, while Dustox isn't? |
Quote:
I kinda want you to present us, hahaha. :P I can see Joey might be participating for his own club and Seth probably wants to go with Dragon-type? {XD} Interesting topic! ^_^ What are your feelings on bug/flying types? Opinions on the fact that for example Beautifly is a flying type, while Dustox isn't? By typing itself, it's a shame that the weaknesses are common moves. To add insult to the injury, they take double damage from Stealth Rock! As for Beautifly VS Dustox, while Beautifly is better looking and leaned to the offensive side I say its typing is a curse than a help, it's fortunate that Dustox didn't receive that typing! Not downing Flying nor Bugs, but the combination on the other hand is pity. Yanmega is one of those great Bug/Flying Pokémon with so much potential though. :D |
What are your feelings on bug/flying types? Opinions on the fact that for example Beautifly is a flying type, while Dustox isn't?
Personally I like that there are the big/flying type. Sure, there aren't many (regional bugs, yanma line, Masquirain, mothim (or however you spell it) and any others I forgot) but it's neat to see the different designs. I personally love the yanma line design. It's a dragon fly! I can't wait until it gets a mega! Spoiler:
As for Beautifly and Dustox, I love them both. I like beautifly's design, but I've always prefer Dustox for battle purposes due to weaknesses. |
So the monotype challenge event is actually a competition? In that case, expect me to come dead last xD I was expecting a simple walkthrough challenge where all you have to do is finish the game within the restrictions. As for a Dragon monotype, I don't think I'd be able to complete it with any of the official games due to how late-game dragons normally are. For voting, I'll pick Ruby/Sapphire as I know it best, but I'm willing to challenge any game.
What are your feelings on bug/flying types? Opinions on the fact that for example Beautifly is a flying type, while Dustox isn't? I don't use Bug/Flying Pokemon much in the games. The only one I've actually had on my team is Masquerain. They have a plethora of weakness and seem very fragile, so it feels like they would get steamrolled by any Gym Leader/Elite Four unless they had a significant edge on level. In my opinion Dustox suits the type it has been given; it breaks the mold of having only Bug/Flying types for regional bugs. It also has better Poison moves than the others in its movepool, which is great. |

What are your feelings on bug/flying types? Opinions on the fact that for example Beautifly is a flying type, while Dustox isn't?
It's kind of an overused type honestly, so I'm not super fond of it. As far as Dustox is concerned, it's consistent with other Flying Bug/Poison-types (Venomoth and Beedrill for example), so it doesn't really bother me. |

Alex pretty much summed it up here, it's an overused type combination but it's to be expected for most winged insects. I don't mind Dustox being Bug/Poison, I mean we have a lot of others using that type combination as well so they do even each other out. |
New topics:
What do you think on the lack of pure Flying-type Pokémon? Is it a bad thing or a good thing? Ironically the lack of pure Flying-type contrasts how Flying-type is paired up with other 17 types, what do you think about this? |
What do you think on the lack of pure Flying-type Pokémon? Is it a bad thing or a good thing?
It's sort of a good thing because a pure Flying-type would mainly have to have a design based solely on wind, which Tornadus already shows so it being pure Flying makes sense. It's difficult to pull off Flying as a pure type compared to others because of the lack of design options. Ironically the lack of pure Flying-type contrasts how Flying-type is paired up with other 17 types, what do you think about this? 5th Gen did give us a pure Flying-type, Tornadus. It is a legendary though so I wouldn't count it but the fact we now have Flying paired up with all other 17 types at least once shows just how many designs can stem up how differently the type can be utilized. |
Can you believe I actually forgot to answer my own topic?
What are your feelings on bug/flying types? Opinions on the fact that for example Beautifly is a flying type, while Dustox isn't? Bug/flying is a very common combination, but it doesn't always seem very meaningful to me, that's why I brought up the topic. Beautifly, as in the example, can't learn any decent flying moves, just Gust (and Aerial Ace with a TM). In what way is it more flying than Dustox? They're both butterflies, they both can fly! Dustox even learns Gust too! Is there a difference? Okay, this doesn't go for all bug/flying Pokémon. Yanmega, for example, actually deserves its flying type. While not able to learn Fly itself, it can at least learn Air Slash, which is a great flying type move. What do you think on the lack of pure Flying-type Pokémon? Is it a bad thing or a good thing? Ironically the lack of pure Flying-type contrasts how Flying-type is paired up with other 17 types, what do you think about this? I'm going to answer both topics at once, as they're very close to each other. Flying is kinda like a side type, Pokémon are always something/flying, until Tornadus came to existence to break the rule. While a side type, it doesn't make it less important, not at all, and that's what makes the flying type so unique: its versatility. In the first generation it has been decided bird Pokémon should be normal/flying instead of just flying. While they lose fighting resistance to this, I actually like they did this. As Hikari just mentioned above, a pure flying type should be an embodiment of the wind, like Tornadus, or something like in the image in the spoiler. Spoiler:

I can't speak much about contests, I've never really liked them in the games. In the anime they're a nice addition though. Quote:
There also used to be a rule that all flying types were typed as something/flying and never flying/something, not even with the normal/flying birds, until Noibat and Noivern, as flying/dragon, came around. I wonder why that happened? Quote:
Also I'm joining the Race, but as it seems unnecessary extra typing to put everything in two places I'm just leaving a link here. |

The Noivern line and Tornadus are indeed unique! I guess these Pokémon are going to make a great topic soon! Quote:

I wouldn't say outclassed, considering I've seen Butterfree used in wifi battles.

With wings, nature evolves. Heck we may see a Flying type Eeveeolution at some point.

Flying-type Eevee on the other hand, isn't that strange. :) |
We're all strange. But yea Ghost Eevee, Dragon Eevee & other type have been talked about. Look on Google!
|
This topic reminds me so much of all the fanart I've seen for hypothetical designs for more new Eeveelution types. I could imagine a possible Flying Eeveelution have a cloud theme to its design, so that it can still stay in pure-Flying territory.
*reminds how much I miss Eevee/Eeveelutions club* |
Actually some of the designs for the Flying Eevee is good, some with wings some with out. What's the mythical creature that's got the body of a lion but wings on its back?
|
Ummm I haven't been noticed? (hint: check post #83)
but anyway we don't need any more eeveelutions, there are too many of them |
Which Flying-type Pokémon deserves a Mega Evolution? Fearow
Which Flying-type Mega Evolution does not deserve its Mega Evolution? None - Your nickname: R2J - Your Flying-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Gonna go ahead and shoot for Spearow - Reason for joining the club: Gen 1 was where I first fell in love with the birds. Spearow was the first one I had and Fearow was the one that got me the win over Gary at the Pokémon League. |

A griffin or a hippogriff would be perfect as legendary Pokémon. They can pair flying with any a lot of types, fire, water, electric or ice without getting very strange, but I think rock would fit the best, as griffins were seen as guardians of goldmines to protect the treasure.
Another mythical creature that would be a perfect base for a Pokémon is a pegasus, I'm thinking fairy/flying or electric/flying, but other things can be possible too, like how they made Rapidash a fire type unicorn. Fairy because it simply kinda looks that way and electric, because Pegasus was ordered to carry Zeus's lightning bolts. Most other flying types are simply based on birds or bugs and there's nothing much specific that can be said about that besides one thing: there are never enough bird Pokémon! ;) |
How about a flying Unicorn?
