Flying is the most ill conceived typing

The answer is probably that the 'wings' of most bug Pokemon aren't strong or large enough to perform 'Wing' attacks

Bugs can fly. But the idea was the flying types were birds who fed on bugs, who are weak against such predators.

Beedrill is not wrong, Butterfree is wrong

Butterfree should be Bug/Psychic

Third type would solve a lot of inconsistencies with this, along with adding a "trait" that's different from abilities, such as levitate.

Nerf ground into the ground (lol), give Weezing, Magnezone, Geodude the ground immunity they deserve!
is stealth rock still meta?
imagine being a fire/flying/bug and just getting KO outright from full HP by stealth rock

No way. 18 types with up to 3? 18 choose 3 is 816 possible unique type combinations on its own. 18 choose 2 is 153. Altogether you would have 987 possible ways to assign 1-3 types to a pokemon.

Nearly 1000 different interactions that have to be coded into the game and then memorized/understood by its playerbase? That's insane. Not to mention that you'll have a LOT more total-immune combinations. Imagine a Ghost/Dark/Poison with levitate?

Gyarados being flying type was so awful until it inadvertently made him OP as shit in Sword/Shield thanks to Dynamaxing and Max Air being so good

Unfortunately, that would be a massive head-ache to keep straight(and 4x hits are already crazy lethal).
Weird though it is that pokemon like Beedrill, Venomoth, and Dustox are vulnerable to Ground type attacks while ones like Butterfree, Gyrados, etc. are immune.

For Flygon they're basically using Levitate as a substitute for flying, which is weird to me.

male combees need an evolution
but a less cool one than vespiquen just so that there is still a reason for female combees to be so hard to find

The air battles in X and Y actually addressed this. Many pokemon without the "flying" type were allowed to participate, and some flying types weren't allowed because they were grounded like Dodrio

Wasn't that arbitrarily based on whether their model was grounded or in a state of existing without touching earth, though?

Flygon is definitely the most WTF one


It does make sense but it was more like they were all "okay so this thing is 4 types but we can only officially make it 2..."

The one time they followed this rule they made the pokemon much less cool. Surskit being Bug/Water is fine but Masquerain being Bug/Flying is terrible imo. Bug/Water would have been a better typing and Bug/Flying is a trash typing.
