Birds are beautiful. This is a simple fact you must accept before you can proceed further. I always imagined that if I were a trainer type in a Pokémon game, I'd be a Bird-Keeper trainer. Flying Pokémon are more than just birds though - if it has wings, chances are it's a flying type. Dragons, bugs, and even a winged egg fit into this category, which makes it a strange mix of Pokémon based on real animals, and some truly wild fantasy designs.
Whether they're speedy and streamlined or bulky and beautiful, these are the very best Flying Pokémon ever created.
