It might seem that only bird Pokémon should be able to fly. Among them, however, is Tornadus — a genie floating on a cloud with a tail resembling a purple tentacle... We get the feeling that they are classified as a pure Flying kind solely because, otherwise, this fighter would need to have three or four forms, which would disrupt the world's system. Regarding abilities and characteristics: the hero is good at attack, quite fast.

Primary Flying type

In this category, Pokémon prioritize the Flying class but also have a secondary category. There are six in total, so let's discuss each, listing them in order of increasing complete base characteristics.

The youngster Noibat has Dragon as a secondary type. It is a bat, one of the best among kin. Speed leads in stats, followed by special attack.

Cramorant is a favorite of many players. The secondary class is Water, presumably because it feeds on fish. In fact, it's due to habitat, but the Pokémon live there because of the tasty treats.

This cormorant has a total stat sum of 475, with high values in special defense, speed, attack. Regular defense is low, making Cramorant less versatile.

Flamigo has a secondary Fighting-type, though it might not look the part. Almost the only thing that visually distinguishes the Pokémon from a real flamingo is the neck, tied in a knot.

This is necessary to prevent the energy stored in the belly from leaking out of the beak. Flamigo synchronizes with a flock of similar creatures to assault simultaneously in perfect harmony. Attack leads, but special defense lags behind.

Secondary Flying type

There are a total of 107 Pokémon with a secondary Flying category. Flying is indeed a very useful trait, which is why almost all such characters dominate over their non-Steel terrestrial counterparts. Thanks to this diversity, it's possible to assemble a team of such heroes, each having a unique role in the squad and a different primary type.

Some of them are especially popular in the community. Some are extraordinarily strong, while others are memorable from anime and favorite games.

Excellent secondary type

As you may have noticed, among flying Pokémon, there are many strong warriors, sturdy defenders, representatives of other specializations. It turns out that this type is excellently suited as a secondary option. Adding flight to creatures of other categories literally gives them wings. Rayquaza with Gyarados didn't get the joke, but they didn't need to.

For some heroes, the ability to soar appears in evolutions, which also becomes a pleasant surprise when developing initial characters. Some of them reveal their potential precisely through such evolutions and attain their best form possible.
