Electric, Ice, and Rock moves are strong against Flying-type Pokémon.

Quick Scoop: Type Matchups

  • Flying-type Pokémon are weak to:
    • Electric-type attacks
    • Ice-type attacks
    • Rock-type attacks
      These move types deal super effective damage to Flying-types in the mainline games and Pokémon Go.
  • Flying-type Pokémon resist :
    • Fighting-type moves
    • Bug-type moves
    • Grass-type moves
      They also are normally immune to Ground-type moves (unless effects like Gravity, Smack Down, or certain abilities/items cancel that immunity).

Handy Example

If you’re fighting a Flying-type like Pidgeot or Talonflame, bringing in a strong Electric-type (like Zekrom), an Ice-type, or a Rock-type attacker will usually give you a big edge thanks to super effective damage.
