The most useless, garbage type in the game.
>>59272998That’s not poison
That aint bug
>>59272998somebody rolled chikorita
>>59272998By learning the FLY HM they are actually the most useful, beloved type in the game
>>59272998Why?
>>59272998Any type with an immunity is useful and good by default, the only debatable exception being Normal. And Flying arguably has the best immunity considering how ubiquitous Earthquake is.
>>59272998Bois typed this
>>59272998A lot of games have a lot of bugs and plants. Flying kills them.Flying’s got an immunity to ground, which is great, and is resistant to every type it’s SE against, which is very convenient.Flying’s weak to rock and electric, which sucks, but ice is a really rare type in most games.Flying types learn Fly, the only HM you probably want access too ALL the time.Flying has a lot of good ‘mons, and a lot of them have great availability.Flying good.The only real problem birds have is a lack of strong moves. Not much learns drill peck, acrobatics is really limiting, fly itself is a 2-turn move, Flying types spend a really long time stuck with wing attack.
>>59272998...is rock.
>>59272998>Rock exists>Ice Exists>Bug exists>Rock exists>Poison exists>Rock exists
>>59273071If normal had return again you wouldn’t be saying that
>>59272998Sloppy thread.>>59273113This person is correct.
>>59273265They got rid of return!?
>>59273071>the only debatable exception being NormalFish hands typed this.
>>59273113>Flying types spend a really long time stuck with wing attack.This is Aerial Ace erasure!
>>59273789Wing attack, aerial ace, and pluck are all at about the same level. One's got 15 more PP, one doesn't miss, one eats berries, and most of the time none of that matters at all.
>>59273206instead of all the gen 1 Rock/Ground types, they could have just done Ground/Steel. "Rock" is just Steely ground
>>59272998WHAT DID YOU SAY NIGGA!
>>59273869Steel wasn't in gen 1.
>>59273918I know, but it should have been if they were just going to make every rock type a dual type
>>59273038the my Treecko got OHKO'd by a Wingull again
>>59273922Don't forget the fossils.
>>59273934could have just been half ground
>>59272998I used to have a strong vendetta against flying types in gen 5 because of Virizion. It got to the point where I teached Virizion Stone Edge only to counter flying types.But nowadays 14 years later I kinda just don't care about flying types. Not a lot of them have good designs and they are mildly annoying to fight because I don't usually have a good counter, but they are not terrifyingly threatening if you do not run a Virizion.They mostly just sit there as a type of annoying unappealing Pokémon and EXP fodder.
