Dodrio is Kanto's best offensive normal flyer. With tri attack and drill peck, they have two great physical STABs, to fully exploit that high speed and attack. Doduo can be picked up right before getting Fly, so it flows nicely as well.

Crobat would be good as well, but in my experience Golbat refuses to evolve before the national Dex is acquired. Golbat goes into an evolution animation and then... stops. Doesn't break the game or anything but you can't count on Crobat.

And if you don't mind legendaries: Zapdos is available relatively early and very powerful.

I might say you don't need flying type you only use beedrill since it can learn aerial ACE giga drain, solar beam and others

by
I don't think Aerial Ace is enough to make Beedrill a replacement for Flying-type.
0 Atk Beedrill Aerial Ace vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Venusaur: 85-100 (31.4 - 37%) -- 83.4% chance to 3HKO
Yeah, it is worse.

Personally I prefer the pidgy line. It learns sand attack which strategically is a very good defensive move. Also pidgy has keen eye to prevent accuracy loss. For versatility magicarp line. And sheer power dratini line. Remember my personal opinion.

by
Why do you think Pidgeot is better than Dodrio?
Yeah Dodrio outclasses Pidgeot in every way possible.
Well then you are wrong pigde is absolutely TERRIBLE when dodrio is available as its a special attacker and it only learns weak moves that are special so it's bad  

Also drill peck is DEVASTATING

Well, Salamence is a great competitive Pokemon that doesn't rely heavily on hidden abilities, type match ups or long set ups.

Most flying types have dual typing that makes balanced team building a challenge. If you are looking for something easier to get, Crobat carried me through gen 3. A really speedy Pokemon that isn't intrusive on the team dynamic.

salmence is not there in fire red and i am not sure whether i can evolve golbat to crobat before beating the champion.
You can. All you need is happiness on a Golbat.
ok thanks,i will give you best answer if there is no better answers within 2 days.
No worries. I answer to help, not to get points. I do hope you find your perfect Pokemon.
