Flying Type Dual-Type Chart

This chart shows how much damage a Flying-type move deals to every combination of two defending types. Rows are the first defender type and columns are the second. Each cell gives the damage multiplier: 4 is extremely effective (400%), 2 is super effective (200%), ½ is not very effective (50%), ¼ is highly resistant (25%) and 0 means no effect. Blank cells are normal 1× damage, and the gray diagonal marks a type paired with itself, which is not a valid dual type.

Flying type dual-type chart. Rows are the first defense type, columns are the second defense type. The diagonal has no value because a Pokémon cannot have the same type twice.

Flying Type Summary

A free Ground immunity and strong neutral coverage, offset by three weaknesses.

Flying is a speed-and-immunity type. It is completely immune to Ground and offers dependable neutral coverage, but it is weak to three common attacking types, which is why so many Flying-types are fast but fragile.

Flying on offense

Flying-type moves are super effective against Grass, Fighting and Bug and are resisted by Electric, Rock and Steel, with no type immune to them. Moves like Brave Bird, Air Slash and Hurricane are common, and the type pairs naturally with Ground-immune Pokémon that also fear Rock.

Flying on defense

Flying-types are weak to Electric, Ice and Rock and resist Grass, Fighting and Bug, with a full immunity to Ground. That Ground immunity is extremely valuable for switching into Earthquake, but the Rock and Ice weaknesses make Stealth Rock and common coverage moves a constant problem.

Notable Flying-type Pokémon

Notable Flying-types include Rayquaza, Talonflame, Corviknight, Togekiss, Skarmory, Hawlucha, Dragonite and Zapdos. They cover nearly every role, from fast attackers to defensive walls and hazard removers, often depending on their second type.
