Is Fly a good move for Pokémon?
Yes ☺️, Fly is an excellent move to save time moving from one destination to another and battling outside the battle.
Fly move assists Pokémon with bug, ground, fighting, and grass weaknesses as the flying Pokémon is resistant to such moves.
However, since it turns and attacks on the second turn, the move can leave the Pokémon vulnerable to the opponents in the first turn.
How much damage can Pokémon deal with fly move?
The damage a Pokémon can deal with using the fly move depends on the type of Pokémon game a trainer plays. For instance, in Pokémon Go, a Pokémon fly move can deal 80 💪 damage. However, factors such as base stats, attack stats, and defense determine how much damage a fly move can cause.
At what level do Pokemons learn to fly?
The level at which a Pokémon can learn the move Fly depends on the type of Pokémon and the type of Pokémon game being played.
You should note that Pidgey is the first ❤️Pokémon in the entire franchise that can learn to fly before level 35, and Charizard is the first in the entire franchise that can learn to fly since it’s naturally a flying Pokémon.
