4th Gen In-game flying Pokemon reccomendations

[Xtacy]

What do you guys suggest for an in-game Pokemon to learn fly?

By in-game, I mean specifically something that I can get fairly soon without trading (I'm at Cianwood at the moment), is not a legendary (I prefer building my own teams), and is not a Normal/Flying type.

I've considered Xatu (stats seem kinda low) and Crobat (but I don't really want to have multiple poison types), just wondering what else people like. I have Soul Silver, btw.

P.S. I know Dragonite is an option, but it'll be a long time before my PKMN will get to level 55, and I'd like to fly around fairly soon....Ideally I could an Aerodactyl, but that's not happening...

Xatu is great; I usually use Xatu or Pidgeot :)

I suggest you use Hoothoot, who later evolves into Noctowl. I did this, and, later in the game (I think at about Lv 58), I simply rejected him for the stronger Pokemon Ho-Oh. With Noctowl, you can either have hypnosis and the corresponding moves, or you can go for a broadened moveset for casual play, like I did. In the end, my Noctowl knew Psychic, Roost, Fly and Psycho Shift. Psycho Shift, in particular, proved Noctowl a very worthwhile Pokemon. Soul Silver is my game, by the way, so the Ho-Oh was Lv 70 when I caught it.

Good luck!

Pidgeots are fine, but they don't really learn good moves until later on.
And those are only decent.

you could get a hootoot. It starts out as a normal, then when it evolves into a noctowl, its a psychic/flying type

^Noctowl stays as Normal-Flying (and is one as a Hoothoot) I'm pretty sure - it just gets some psychic type moves.

Technically, Pikachu can learn Fly - there's a wifi event out which unlocks a Pokewalker course which has Pikachu in it...walk over 10000 steps in a day and you have a chance to catch one which knows Fly!

Anyways, there's some Pokemon to consider, so try those out. Basically anything that can learn Fly will do well though.
