what is good against flying type pokemon
Electric, Ice, and Rock moves are super effective against Flying-type Pokémon, so those are the main things that are good against them in battle.
Core Type Weaknesses
- Electric moves hit Flying for super effective damage and are one of the safest, most consistent counters.
- Ice moves also deal super effective damage to Flying, often letting you take big chunks of HP or secure a knockout.
- Rock moves are super effective as well and are especially scary because many Flying-types have relatively low physical bulk.
What To Avoid
- Flying moves are strong against Bug , Fighting , and Grass types, so relying on those as your main Flying answers is risky even if they have a secondary good type.
- Even Rock- or Electric-type Pokémon with a Grass, Bug, or Fighting sub-type can get blown up by Flying STAB moves.
Good Move Ideas
- Electric: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Discharge, Charge Beam, Volt Switch, Thunder Shock, Spark.
- Ice: Ice Beam, Blizzard, Ice Punch, Ice Fang, Powder Snow, Frost Breath, Ice Shard.
- Rock: Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Ancient Power, Smack Down, Rock Throw.
Simple Battle Tips
- Bring at least one Pokémon with an Electric, Ice, or Rock move so you always have a safe switch into a Flying threat.
- Fast Electric-types are especially strong because they can outspeed and KO many Flying Pokémon before taking a hit.
