what would be a good flying type pokemon for....

[Amaggad]

getting around places and battling, i got dragonite atm its lvl 60 and kinda sucks since rest of team lvl 100 and they cant learn fly.

 

[MysticKenji]

I use a Staraptor, but it's really up to you.

 

[ss118]

Use a pressure stalling aerodactyl

 

[Creo]

..Or just have someone in a PC. >_>
Fly is not a preferable attack in competitive battles anyways. You don't really need to teach it to your main team..that is what I do.

 

[Shiri]

Fly is perfectly viable in competitive play.

It's just not very popular because lots of the OU fliers have better things to do.

No, dont.

And FLY pretty much sucks when battling. Dont use it for that for an attack.

If you want to use it for travel then go with Hoot hoot. <3

What's so bad about Staraptor?

Eh, 2 turn moves like fly/dive/dig are only ever really useful for stalling. It gives your opponent basically a free turn to switch into something that resists it. Aerodactly would make a great pressure staller if it weren't ohko'd by like... everything.

Well the obvious answer here is slowking. However if you want an HM beotch ... ehem Slave*, then just find out which pokemon can learn fly, and three other HMs and choose that one.

Tropius is a good choice for an HM slave with fly. Just switch it out for one of your party pokemon when you're doing something serious.

 

[game & kirby]

if you're worried about dig being bad because it lets your opponent switch out, how about a dugtrio with arena trap? XD

 

[shadydentist]

but why dig when you can earthquake?

Double battles?

The best flying type is Zapdos. Electric/Flying... Beat That! Only ice is effective.

If you don't want to go with staraptor, I would say choose drifblim. Pretty easy to get, has nice immunities (Ground and Fighting) massive hit points, and some pretty good moves (fly, obviously, but also shadow ball, ominous wind, DT, WOW) He can actually save you in some battles, and it's pretty fly to travel by balloon.

Rock?

well when it comes to a flying type i would stick with a dragon, salamence is cool.
