- 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 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.

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. |

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 |

Lycanthropy and fellow members, if you wanna make a new topic feel free to do so; as long as the active members have answered the topics and there's no more further discussions going on with the current topic, then you can make a topic.~ P.S. Main topics can be extended with sub-topics. ;) |
Quote:
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). |
