==Battle properties==
Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other outside the core series.
* type was introduced in Generation II.
===Additional effects===
From Generation II onwards, Flying-type Pokémon are not considered grounded for effects that affect grounded Pokémon (e.g. entry hazards). This makes Flying-type Pokémon immune to the Ability , the move , and all entry hazards (except ), but also from the benefits of terrains (though they can still use Seeds). If Flying-type Pokémon lose their ungrounded status by methods like holding Iron Ball or being under the effect of moves such as (Generation IV onward), , or , they also lose their immunity to Ground-type Pokémon in addition to those benefitted from being ungrounded. Holding Ring Target makes them lose their type immunity to type moves, but keeps ungrounded status for other effects.
When a Flying-type uses the move , introduced in Generation IV, it temporarily loses its Flying type for a turn. If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, then it will become a type in Generation IV and a type in Generation V onward.
The move , introduced in Generation V, allows the user to pick up a Flying-type Pokémon and make it unable to move. However, on the next turn, Sky Drop will fail and free the target, even if the target is grounded.
The effectiveness of the move , introduced in Generation VI, is calculated by multiplying the effectiveness of its move type (usually ) and the Flying type.
==Pokémon==
As of Generation IX, there are Flying-type Pokémon or % of all Pokémon (counting those that are Flying-type in at least one of their forms), making it the 4th most common type after and before . All other types have been paired up with Flying at least once — in Generation VI, after the release of , Flying became the first type to have this trait.
