Flying (type)

Most Flying-type Pokemon are based on birds or insects, along with a few more mythical creatures like dragons.

Nearly every Flying-type has Flying as the secondary type, usually with Normal; there is only one pure Flying Pokemon: the legendary Pokemon, Tornadus. The type has also been paired with every other type apart from Fighting.
