[@yorecf9641]

Gale Wings is it’s hidden ability so you have to spend a bunch of time trying to get it which is even less convenient that friendship for Crobat. Plus it’s fire typing interferes with Delphox users and Charizard has the same type and is better anyway. This is for a playthrough and not a competitive match.

Flame body and fly is an amazing egg hatching combo

[@yorecf9641]

Staraptor still hits SIGNIFICANTLY harder. Burns are nice but outspeeding and OHKOing your opponent is even better. And again; breeding takes time and is inconvenient. Even if you go that route we’ve got Reckless for Staraptor and Solar Power for Charizard (or just mega evolve him).

[@Pallysilverstar]

I always use Crobat in my Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald playthroughs. You get it so early that I get Golbat at 22 and Crobat at 23 every time. Friendship evolution can be a pain for pokemon that are later in the game or that you don't necessarily want to use, but if it's an early game pokemon that you want in your party it shouldn't be a problem unless you let it die a lot.

[@AlldaylongRock]

You can also grind friendship by biking/running around for a bit... Annoying but getting it right away is pretty good

0:57 as of gen 7, them being able to learn fly now makes sense since you can no longer use the move out of battle. it makes sense for pidgey to be able to use fly in battle. but weirdly, vullaby has been able to learn fly in every core series game in which vullaby appears, despite its dex entries suggesting otherwise. hm02 in gens 5 and 6. tm76 in gen 7 (not available in lgpe) and tm02 in gen 8 (not available in bdsp)

[@Firescizor]

Just a correction: Golbat DOESN'T learn Fly in Gen III. However, the fact that you get it so early (PLUS the Soothe Bell is available in Slateport to help with the friendship) there is no away you won't have a Crobat when you reach Fortree City (also Crobat learns the amazing Sludge Bomb TM after the 5th Gym, which is physical in Gen III, so clear winner IMO) PS: Why wasn't Dodrio even mentioned in Gen I... it has 20 more Attack BST and is catchable in the EXACT SAME ROUTE you get Fly. The only downside is you only get it then while Spearow is very early game, but Spearow isn't particularly useful against the gyms prior

[@azelfdaboi5265]

[@Firescizor]

@@azelfdaboi5265 Dodrio is actually the "strongest" flying type in Kanto. Since flying is a physical type in Gen I all the Legendary Birds miss out on claiming that spot, and I know I am ignoring Dragonite but the hassle of getting before the League is just terrible

[@Firescizor]

@@justaveraeg generally? I can't argue against the early argument but Dodrio not only gets access to Drill Peck like Fearow but it also has Tri Attack which is physical in Gen I. Hyper Beam TM is a difficult to get prize in the Game Corner (and even so Dodrio has 20 more Attack) so Dodrio outclasses Fearow as a flying and as normal type
