See, for some reason I hate fliers. Like, hate them. For no reason at all. I have a bird that knows fly, but not in my team. The only ones that I had fly for me in my team for past generations were Togekiss and Lugia. As for the rest, whenever I wanted to fly someone I would go to the PC and switch one out.
Interesting.
Well, I'm partly disappointed with the fliers in this game. The three stage evolution Pidove is bad because it only learns one okay attack with sky attack at the third stage at level 66 and is the most powerful flying move 140p 90a, but still that attack I don't really like because it is a two turn attack, like fly, and I hate two turn attacks because the leave a window for the opponent to do something.
Now Braviary is the best looking normal/flying for this game, and I will train one eventually, it at least learns the move, brave bird, but I wish they had given it the ability to learn the fighting move, close combat. This is why Staraptor in Gen 4 is the best flier out of the Pokemon games. Staraptor learns brave bird which is the second most powerful flying move 120p 100a, it will take out most Pokemon in one hit though it does take like a quarter of Staraptor's life away with each use. It also learns close combat 120p 100a but lowers the users defense. My Staraptor from Diamond had such a high attack and speed that it could use close combat and take out any rock type with one hit without having to fear getting with a powerful rock attack hit. Normal, dark, and ice types feared it as well. Staraptor could hold its own against Pokemon it was weak to and ones it didn't have an advantage against either way, and creamed weak disadvantaged ones.
When they made the three stage normal/flier that becomes Staraptor, they made it so awesome that they couldn't outdo themselves when the made new Pokemon for Black and White.
