flying-Type Weaknesses
- electric: Electric currents, seeking the path of least resistance, readily travel through the air, making Flying-type creatures especially susceptible to being struck by lightning or other electrical discharges.
- rock: Rocks, as solid and heavy objects, can be thrown with significant force. A direct hit from a rock projectile can cause substantial damage to a Flying-type creature, particularly those with fragile or hollow bones, as many birds do.
- ice: Ice accumulation on a Flying-type's wings disrupts airflow, increasing drag and reducing lift, much like how real-world aircraft require de-icing to maintain aerodynamic efficiency and prevent dangerous stalls.
flying-Type Resistances
- fighting: Have you tried punching or kicking a bird in flight? Don't do it.
- grass: Birds and other aerial creatures feed on plants, and wind from their movement can scatter or damage vegetation.
- bug: Although it is brave and noble that a bug will fight against its predator, nature is still scary. Birds will kindly eat the poor bug in retaliation.
