Characteristics of Flying-type Pokémon

Generally, these are Pokémon with the potential to fly through the air, the fastest of which is Mega-Dracaufeu Y.

In terms of speed, it's Hawlucha which takes first place with a speed of 118.
In all stats, Ninjask has the highest base stat total, which is 160. Up until Generation III, Flying-type Pokémon were classified as physical.

They use their wings and beaks extensively to show off their natural abilities against the Combat types. The only drawback with Flight types is that their defence doesn't quite measure up to deal with the attacks of opponents.

Pokémon of the Vol type have a lack of vigilance against ground-level attacks, unless they are equipped with an Iron Ball using the Anti-Air, Myria-Arrow and Gravity skills.
In addition, equipping them with an Iron Ball from a Magic Trick or Sleight of Hand also makes them more susceptible to attacks from Ground-type Pokémon.

Unlike Sol types, the Champ bonus are not granted to Pokémon of the Flight type.
