10 Flying-Type Pokémon That Can’t Learn Fly

Despite their typing, these Pokémon will never take to the skies with the HM Fly.

Hidden Machine moves, or HM for short, have been a staple of the Pokémon games for years now, although they’re starting to be phased out if Sword & Shield are anything to go by. The HM Fly has always been a useful move to have, since it not only lets the player fly to any location they’ve already visited to save time, but it’s also a two-turn move in battle, handy for avoiding heavy-hitting offense from opponents.

Oddly enough, not all Flying-type Pokémon can learn the move Fly, and on the flip side there are several non-Flying Pokémon that can learn it. However, there are often specific characteristics or logical explanations that can justify these decisions as not being complete oversights.

10 Gyarados’s Flying-Type Status Has Long Been Debated

It’s still hotly debated why Gyarados is a Flying-type Pokémon when it would arguably be better suited as a Dragon- or Dark-type, but either way, it can still learn Flying-type moves like Hurricane and Bounce. This is why trainers may be surprised to realize it’s unable to learn the move Fly.

However, at the end of the day, due to its size, build, and lack of wings or other flying apparatus, Gyarados can’t fly in any sort of way despite its Flying typing, so it learning the move Fly wouldn’t make any sense.

9 Scyther Can Fly But Chooses Not To More Often Than Not

Scyther is a part Flying-type simply because it’s physically able to fly, despite its rather thin wings. It often opts not to do so, however, and perhaps due to this it doesn’t learn too many Flying-type moves.

Moves like Wing Attack and Air Slash make complete sense, while Scyther learning Fly wouldn’t. As an HM, Fly requires the user to transport a human passenger when used outside of battle, and in battle, the move requires control while hovering above the battlefield, which Scyther may not necessarily possess in terms of wing strength and power.

8 Gliscor’s Flight Should Be Considered Gliding Rather Than Flying

Pokédex entries for Gliscor suggest that if it catches the wind or a strong breeze well, then it doesn’t need to flap its wings, as it can simply glide around for a long amount of time.

While the dual Flying/Ground type can learn Flying moves such as Acrobatics, Aerial Ace and Roost, the general premise is that it glides rather than flies, and using the move Fly would perhaps only confuse matters more. However, its default stance during battle is to levitate or hover off the ground, which could very easily be interpreted as flying.

7 Emolga’s Gliding Techniques And Small Stature Justify It Not Learning Fly

Emolga, the Sky Squirrel Pokémon, is another example of a Flying-type Pokémon whose Flying moves like Air Slash and Acrobatics should be attributed to floating and gliding rather than actually flying.

This would be an obvious reason as to why Emolga can’t learn the move Fly, but the main reason is likely due to its small stature, as the squirrel Pokémon is just 1 foot tall, rendering it unable to carry a human as the HM Fly needs it to.

6 Vespiquen’s Wings Are Not Strong Enough For It To Use Fly

Vespiquen is another example of a Pokémon that justifies its Flying typing due to it having wings, but those wings are too small in relation to its larger body to suggest prowess and power when flying longer distances while supporting extra weight as required by a Pokémon using the HM Fly.

The Beehive Pokémon can learn a small number of Flying-type moves as a part of its moderately diverse move-pool, but Fly itself wouldn’t necessarily make sense.

5 Butterfree Can Learn Some Flying-Type Moves Early On, But Not Fly

As one of the first original Pokémon a player can obtain in the games and one of Ash’s first catches in the anime, Butterfree has always been a fan favorite Pokémon. Its dual Bug/Flying typing gives it five weaknesses, but it’s able to learn a wide variety of moves, including several status-effecting moves and many from other types.

Despite Butterfree being able to learn Flying moves such as Gust and Air Slash, it can’t learn Fly for the same reason as other small-statured Pokémon: it wouldn’t be physically able to transport a trainer as Fly requires.

4 Yanmega Could Use Fly If Its Wings Were A Bit Sturdier

As a dual Bug/Flying Pokémon, Yanmega doesn’t get to learn too many Flying-type moves beyond Air Slash and Aerial Ace. However, unlike many other flying insect Pokémon, Yanmega is almost 2 feet tall in height and it looks like it could perhaps support human weight if it was to learn Fly as an HM.

Like other Bug/Flying types, though, its wings are probably not strong enough to support such a weight, which may well justify it not being able to learn Fly.

3 Ninjask’s Speed And Powerful Wings Could Justify Learning Fly If It Was Slightly Larger

For all its substantial speed in terms of priority moves during battle and its movements in general, Ninjask is yet another example of a Bug/Flying dual-type Pokémon that can learn a small number of Flying-type moves like Aerial Ace and Air Slash but can’t really justify learning the move Fly.

At around 2 feet tall, Ninjask wouldn’t be able to support human weight while using Fly as an HM, despite its powerful wings that support its considerable speed.

2 Jumpluff Depends On The Wind To Carry It Around, So Isn’t Really Flying

Jumpluff, and the rest of the Hoppip evolutionary line, are dual Flying/Grass types. The Cottonweed Pokémon doesn’t possess any obvious Flying-type features like wings in any of its forms, and any instances of it flying can be attributed to its light stature allowing it to ride the wind and glide for long distances.

Jumpluff can learn the usual Flying-type moves like Aerial Ace, Bounce, and Acrobatics, but in terms of Fly itself, its flying technique isn’t controlled enough to actually be called flying.

1 Beautifly Has “Fly” In Its Name But Can’t Learn The Move

Introduced in Generation III, Beautifly is a graceful Pokémon, as the name suggests, and is perfectly suited to the Pokémon Contests that were introduced in the same generation, as shown in the anime by Ash’s friend May.

The dual Bug/Flying type Pokémon can learn a handful of various Flying-type moves, but none of these include the HM Fly. Beautifly’s wings are much bigger than its body, but even so, its stature still isn’t strong enough for it to be considered a capable long-distance flier while carrying heavy weight.
