Who beats Vol-type Pokémon?

What matters when defeating a Flying-type Pokémon is the table of guys, not whether or not it appears to be flying. The type Flight has exactly 3 weaknesses, and each one inflicts ×2 damage a Pure Flying-type Pokémon.

1. Type Électrik

The Electrik-type attacks are super efficient against theft, with ×2 damage. This is often the fastest way to release a bird of prey such as Roucool or a legendary one like Lugia.

A single well-placed Electric-type attack can turn the tide of battle. Yveltal (Darkness/Flight) or Ho-Oh (Fire/Theft) are no exception: their second type does not protect them As for Électrik, they're also taking that ×2 hit.

2. Roche Type

The Roche-type attacks also do ×2 damage against Flying-type Pokémon. Most Flying-type Pokémon—even the fastest ones—have a hard time withstanding a powerful Rock-type attack.

Please note: When faced with a Fire/Theft Dual Coverage as Dracaufeu, Roche's attacks total ×4 damage.

3. Ice Type

The Ice-type attacks are also super efficient against theft, with ×2 damage. This is a devastating weakness for dual-type Pokémon Dragon/Theft one Dracolosse or one Rayquaza then receive ×4 damage when facing an Ice-type attack. Shaymin In celestial form (Plant/Flight) also suffers this ×4 penalty.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Flying-type Pokémon?

The Vol-type Pokémon They don't just take damage—they can also handle some of it very well. The type Flight resists (damage reduced to ×0,5) facing three guys:

fight : Combat-type attacks deal only half the damage. Togekiss (Fairy/Flying) even drops to ×0.25, since both of its types are resistant to Fighting.
Plant : Plant-type abilities deal only half the damage.
Bug : Same thing—the Flying-type is resistant to Bug-type attacks.

But their most important asset remains the’Sol-type immunity. Attacks of the type Floor do not no damage (coefficient ×0) to a Flying-type Pokémon as long as it is in the air. A Dracaufeu or one Electhor is therefore completely immune to an earthquake.

However, this immunity may be waived in several cases:

if the opponent uses Gravity, which pins the Pokémon to the ground for 5 turns;
If your target is wearing a Iron Ball, for example, performed using "Magic Trick" or "Sleight of Hand";
if the opponent uses Anti-Air, a Roche-type ability that knocks your target to the ground.

In these situations, the Pokémon becomes vulnerable to Ground-type attacks again. On the other hand, Flying-type Pokémon do not benefit from the bonuses of Field (Electrified Field, Grass Field…), which apply only to Ground-type Pokémon.

What are the weaknesses of Vol-type Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

In Pokémon Écarlate et Violet, the weaknesses of the Flying type remain the same as in other games: Électrik, rock and Ice all impose ×2 damage. Resistance to Fighting, Grass, and Bug types, as well as the’Immunity on the Ground, also apply as usual.

Notable doubles players include Écarlate et Violet, you often run into Corvaillus (Steel/Vol), as well as Nigosier (Fire/Water) in the "The Turquoise Mask" DLC. Their second type affects how damage is calculated. Always check the dual type before choosing your attack.
