The Top Ten
1 Staraptor Staraptor, known in Japan as Mukuhawk, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Staraptor is fast, has a great attack stat, and unlike other flying types, barring Skarmory and Altaria, Staraptor isn't walled by Rock and Ground types, as it has Close Combat. It has U-Turn for scouting, STAB Quick Attack, STAB Brave Bird for Damage (180 damage! ), and is just great overall! Altaria and Skarmory are great, but Staraptor is the BEST. Anyone beg to differ?

Ledian is by far one of the worst pokemon ever made, why is it so far up? so what if it can learn all those moves, its attack is to low for it to do anything. staraptor can easily kill all of these pokemon in one shot except for maybe altaria.

Staraptor is amazing... Brave Bird, Fly, Close Combat and Steel Wing is just completely unstoppable! Throw in the massive attack and speed stats and the Intimidate ability and you've got a powerhouse for kicking the crap outta the Elite Four.

According to base stats Staraptor is better than every other bird Pokemon in every category except for being slightly slower than a Swellow. But still has better health, attack, defense, spd. definitely. , etc.

2 Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated ...read more.

Somebody said a beast in special attack? 109, not that high. Only made stronger with solar power? U usually don't get the chance to set up because stealth rock and that frail 78/78/85 defense. He even said moves like dragon rush and blast burn... Dragon rush from 84 attack, have fun, and have fun recharging from blast burn. Somebody said has good attack stat... 84 attack... Good around? No great stats and bad defenses. Somebody even said his seismic tosses very powerful...seismic toss deals damage equal to the level of the Pokemon, what do u mean by "its" seismic toss are powerful. Somebody said amazing speed? 100 is only above average. Somebody said "I think it is the best of all". U need reasoning.

Charizard is a beast in special attack, which is only made stronger with solar power, and if raised right, with moves like dragon rush from breeding and blast burn by tutors, he can be a force to reckon with.

Ok guys! Zard is not good in stats like others but he has TWO Mega evolutions! And come on, I'm sure he is the first Pokemon 90% Pokemon players used,He really deserves TOP 1...Look at him awesome design one of the first dragon based Pokemon...

This is my favorite Pokemon! It is speedy, has good attack stat and is all round a very good Pokemon. I used it in the elite four in Pokemon fire red and it absolutely demolished!

3 Skarmory Skarmory, known in Japan as Airmd, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Well if you are looking for a flying defensive wall, Skarmory is the Pokemon you want. Also Being able to learn moves like Fly and Steel Wing, he can be an offensive beast. He can also fix or counter his steel weakness, fighting, with flying moves. Used one in Heart Gold, he was my best Pokemon. I highly recommend him.

It's a really really strong pokemon because his steel type makes his steel wing become too strong especially against 2 types who are effective to flying, ice, and rock, and with such great speed he can take those 2 types down easily.

It might not be better than those above Skarmory but since it is part metal it has resistance against flying type weaknesses making it more durable and therefore more better to use.

He is a flying and steel type. Fast a versatile. Teach him moves like double tam and roost and there is no taking him down. Not to mention his high attack and attack moves he can learn.

4 Crobat

Corrections:
Crobat shouldn't be in 7th place. With its high base stats, especially speed, it is a beast. Plus, it is a poison - flying type, so it stands out from all the other horrible poison types. Adding to that, Crobat is cute from some people's point of view; including mine and they're very loyal in the later Pokemon games. Finally, as a fun fact, I did my research and with a base stat of 535, Crobat has a higher base stat that the Pokemon in position # 10, 9, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2(surprisingly). It also beat Staraptor, #1 by a whopping 65 points! It didn't beat #8 because Rayquaza is a legendary, with a base stat of 680., so Crobat. Based off base stat total, Crobat should be around 5th because there is Dragonite and Salamence with a 600 base stat total. But they're pseudo-legendary Pokemon, false legendary, so of course they should come high in the countdown. But honestly, legendaries shouldn't even be in lists like this. So Rayquaza and Articuno shouldn't be here. I didn't ...more

Crobat shouldn't be a contender. With its high base stats, especially speed, it is a beast. Plus, it is a flying - poison type, so it stands out from all the other horrible poison types. Adding to that, Crobat is cute from some people's point of view; including mine and they're very loyal in the later Pokemon games. Finally, as a fun fact, I did my research and with a base stat of 540, Crobat has a higher base stat that the Pokemon in position # 12,11,10,8,7,5,4,3, and 2(suprisingly). It also beat Staravia, #1 by a whopping 65 points! It didn't beat #6 becuase Rayquaza is a legendary, with a base stat of 680. And the only non �" legendary it didn’t beat that is not a contender was Archeops. It only has a base stat total of 567, so Crobat was beaten by 17. I love Crobat and I don’t think it deserves to be a contender. Based off base stat total, Crobat should be around 5th because there is Dragonite and Salamence with a 600 base stat total. But they’re pseudo-legendary Pokemon, ...more

Crobat can be one tough cookie when you strong potential moves on him like confuse ray, double team, toxic, mean look, any combo including those movies make others shiver with fright.

If you teach him confuse ray, fly and air slash, he is the best, even though he is more of a physical attacker and air slash is a special move, the flinch effect is VERY helpful

5 Pidgeot

The best original Pokemon, not just at fighting but has the best story and all the best air moves.

This Pokemon is the best in Pokemon air Pokemon in Pokemon red/blue and fire red and green leaf and for me those are the best games and the best air Pokemon in it.

Charizard is stronger has only a flew air moves...

Pidgeot is one of the original beginner Fly Pokemon and learns all of the original moves. It has a good overall attack and with its keen eyes it will never loose sight of its target.

Pidgeot has high base stats, is original, has a great move pool, and is very useful. You can take advantage of many of his moves to defeat any types that are very effective against it. (e.G. steel Wing on a Rock-Type or Ice-Type)

You can't beat the original Pokemon. They are always the best. I remember using him and blastoise back when I was about 8. He was always one of my favorites.

6 Dragonite Dragonite, known in Japan as Kairyu, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Dragonite is awesome he killed a level 100 gastrodon with draco meteor one time I rented him at the battle factory in platinum he's awesome totally badass the 20th strongest pokemon ever the strongest non legendary pokemon ever he has surf to cover rock weakness flametrower to cover ice weakness and awesome dragon moves also earthquake which is always been a strong move and also he has extreme speed dragonite should be number 1

Dragonite is just overpowered! Low on health Roost to the face! My Personal favourite moveset is Outrage, Extreme Speed, Fire Punch, Earthquake!

Dragonite has the highest base stat average of any non legend as of gen 4

With multiscale and roost, this beast never dies. Add leftovers for extra invincibility

7 Rayquaza Rayquaza (pronounced "ray-quay-zah") is a Dragon/Flying type Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It serves as the mascot in the game Pokémon Emerald. Rayquaza can mega evolve into Mega Rayquaza provided that it does not have a Z-Crystal and it knows the move "Dragon Ascent". According to the Pokédex, it lives in the ozone layer, and frequently stops battles with Kyogre and Groudon, two other Legendaries.

Rayquaza is first of all amazing to look at. Secondly it can learn extremspeed, secondly it has an amazingly high attack and special attack. It can learn a vast array of moves

Mega Rayquaza has an attack stat of 180 and a special attack of 180... Enough said

Rayquaza is one of my favorite Pokemon out of Kyogre, Groudon

Hey guts it is a legendary Pokemon

8 Ledian

For Me.. ledian is the best... It can learn thunder punch and ice punch... which is very good against water, steel, flying, grass, ground and rock... it can also learn fighting type moves like close combat, comet punch, mach punch etc.. which is good against normal, steel, rock, ground... THIS IS THE BEST BUG/FLYING TYPE POKEMON EVER INTRODUCED IN THE POKEMON WORLD!

I don't care what anyone says about Ledian, he will always be my favourite, people need to give him a chance, he may not be the best competitively but my Ledian has won me battles because he is so awesome, he will always be my favourite and really to anyone that doesn't like Ledian, please try him in all ways first or shut up, because I'm a Lediman for life! He's the 5 star Pokemon for a reason

I love my ledian, it tanks through all of my gym leaders... It deserves respect! 1

I like buterfree because it evolves from cater pie which is my favourite pokemon!

9 Salamence Salamence, known in Japan as Bohmander, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Why is Salamence #15! It deserves the top 10! Salamence has total stats of 600! This Pokemon is beast! Dragon and Flying is such a powerful type combination!

How is this Pokemon not top 5? I got him and he is sick. My best Pokemon I got and I have gyarados.

Salamence is beast it have the power of a legandary pokemon and concidering it as a dragon flying it is very fast and is not easy to kill I have one in my black team and I am invincible

With moxie as new abilitiy, salamence can be a giant threat to your enemy once it gets a kill. And with a base attack of 135, most enemies won't survive long. Its 100 base speed is good enough, and if it's ev-trained on speed and jolly, it can outspeed many Pokemon easily. Even without Moxie, Salamence can kill most enemies easily if you have the right moveset. It can learn many great physical attacks too.
Salamence also looks more awesome than most dragon-types and flying-types, it looks more threatening than Dragonite and Staraptor.

10 Altaria Altaria, known in Japan as Tyltalis, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Altaria has great stats and is very versatile. And with cotton guard makes it a very good tank. Moreover, dragon dance can make it an even more powerful attacker.

Altaria is one of the best Pokemon out there! With good special defense and special attack, altaria is a natural born sweeper. If you don't have an altaria on your team then your missing out on something big here

Very bulky and combined with dragon dance and outrage, with a little bit of cotton guard, it is almost unbeatable!

I love Altaria! I have one on my team and it rocks! What with its ability natural cure and the move refresh, its pointless to afflict it with status! GO ALTARIA!

The Contenders
11 Togekiss

Togekiss Is way better than staraptor because its base stat is 545 and has excellent special attack and has the ability serene grace and learns awesome moves like aura sphere so togekiss is overall an awesome Pokemon to choose for any Pokemon team.

It has more sp. attack than staraptor has attack and can take many hits with its base 95 defense and 115 special defense. It is also fairy type, cute, and has a very, very good move pool and it can even learn 2 electric type moves which is rare for a flying type

Togekiss is a complete must have for any team it can take down nearly eery Pokemon with its wide moveset for example mine is Air slash, Aura Sphere, Acient power - to boost up its stats and Fly. My togekiss lv 70 took down the whole elite four and needed help with cynthia. So I would reccomend it to everyome!

It's like a cuter Staraptor, except as a Sp. Attacker. Why only 24th!? Come on! Togekiss is awesome! It has Aura Sphere to hit Rock and Ice as well as Steel, it's bulky and is heck of fun flinching with Air Slash!

12 Braviary Braviary, known in Japan as Warrgle, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

When you can use a pokemon and only that pokemon to decimate the champion, you know it belongs in the top 10. Braviary that pokemon, with brave bird, super power, shadow claw and thrash. And no healing.

Braviary is TERRIFIC. He has great attack and better all round stats then mandibuzz and zoroark plus it can have the dreamworld ability.

It is so good I was even able to beat the electric type gym leader with it

I think Braviary is AWESOME! It may take some time to evolve from Rufflet but it's worth it! It can learn brave bird, superpower, air slash and so on.

13 Tropius

He;s just so cool used him in sapphire and he owned named him tropicana because of the fruit thing with him

14 Archeops

He is amazing he can be a little hard to get at first but well worth it with his ability to learn moves like rock throw he is very good. He has a super high attack stat and he is super fast using acrobatics he is deadly.

While he might not deserve first place on this list, he should be higher up there. A really decent rock/flying pokemon.

15 Ninjask

Ninjask is a flying ninja: need I say more? Ninjast is unbeatable with double team and swords dance. In conclusion, Ninjask is a ninja.

NINJASK IS THE FASTEST Pokemon I PERSONALLY HATE DEOXYS SO I don't COUNT HIM AND PLUS HIS BROTHER SHEDINJA WHO IS MY FAVOURITE Pokemon STEALS SOULS SO YA

AWESOME, no other words.

16 Aerodactyl Aerodactyl, known in Japan as Ptera, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Mega evolution causes this Pokemon to put all other flying types to shame plus has anyone ever tried sky drop competitively with that in mind also note my aerodactyl has swept entire teams

Aerodactyl is almost as fast as a Mewtwo! You place him in 16th! He is also a powerhouse. But come on no one beats the Aerodactyl's speed it's too op.

Really 20th? That's crazy for such a fast and powerful flyer

17 Zapdos Zapdos, known in Japan as Thunder, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Most dominant flying-type Pokemon overall across the five generations. A top Pokemon in all of them.

18 Honchkrow

I believe Honchkrow is the best, I have him on Soul Silver, because he can learn most, if not all, dark AND flying type moves. For instance if you like Honchkrow but wanna fly somewhere and you don't have A. Pokemon that knows fly? Have Honchkrow learn it. Also make him learn dark pulse and shadow ball for easy defeats agains rock and electric type pokemon because Honchkrow is usually faster than most pokemon.

Honchkrow is the best Pokemon considering its dark and flying type. I have it on platinum.

Because it is handsome and Strong

Honchkrow is a great Pokemon considering its flying and dark type. IT CAN learn dark pulse in the games and is a good idea if your up against pshychic and fighting type Pokemon such as meditite. Its dark pulse and shadow ball can teach rock and electric types a lesson.

19 Articuno Articuno, known in Japan as Freezer, is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

This is the best ice type and collest plus it ads up it should know sher cold thogh and all around it's a beast Pokemon

Hey he is most awesome

20 Gyardos

I now he's flying but he doesn't even fly

21 Lugia Lugia, known in Japan as ルギア (Rugia), is a Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. First introduced in Generation II, it's the mascot of the game Pokémon Silver. It serves as the master of the legendary birds trio, and is part of the tower tuo along with Ho-Oh.
22 Yanmega Yanmega, known in Japanese as Megayanma is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from Yanma when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power.

Yanmega is tough and cool. Stare at its body. Its eyes are red and glowing with hatred of the world. It has calculating coolness.

I love THE CRY ITS AWE-SPIRING

23 Swanna

You wouldn't think this duck learns Brave Bird do you? Guess what? It DOES

Love this Pokemon just so beautiful and graceful

Its just a good Pokemon

24 Gliscor Gliscor, known in Japan as Glion, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Easily one of my favorite Pokemon. When I first found him, and noticed the ground/flying, I started using earthquake. Ka-Boom. My gliscor was unstoppable, as the ground flying is intense. All my friends hated to battle me, as I would just use earthquake. When they tried to, "it doesn't affect for gliscor..." Plus it looks awesome, what with the wings and such.

Gliscor he is totally one of my favorites in Pokemon platinum he is a tank he is unstoppable because he can learn thunder fang ice fang fire fang and EARTHQUAKE! He helped me a lot when I beat Cynthia

Honchkrow is the best flying Pokemon in the history of Pokemon Honchkrow rules why is it even not on this stupid list it's better then those stupid Pokemon

He is my favourite pokemon

25 Talonflame Talonflame is a dual-type Fire/Flying Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon franchise's sixth generation. It evolves from Fletchinder and is known for its swift and graceful flight. Talonflame's signature move, Brave Bird, showcases its daring and fearless nature in battles. Its fiery plumage and aerial prowess contribute to its role as a popular and powerful Pokémon.

Flame Body for breeding and Gale Wings for battling. Talonflame is easily one of the most useful Pokemon ever as it excels at whatever it does and despite being one of the many common bird Pokemon none of them come close to be as good as this guy, especially with his gale wings ability that lets him outspeed almost anything and is just extremely fun to use

This thing is a tank when it has the ability gale wings... They can vs any of the other birdies on here and beat them. They have the best typing and honestly I would rather use a talon flame over charizard just so I'm not using a "common charizard" that everyone chooses

Talonflame is so awesome that it is equal to CHARIZARD. Come on kalos Pokemon are the best! Taonflame s best attacks are -brave bird, overheat, solar beam, hyper beam. It looks awesome. Who the heck kept it on 32 position! It should be 2 after charizard. It can EASILY defeat staraptor.

Talonflame is a unique bird Pokemon that has Fire/flying type abilities, the same as Charizard
