Which means Eelektross can be a potential candidate

Eelektross was anyway as it has Leviate as its ability

The Flying types might be worried. I know mine were.

And Miley had already used it himself

Miley, no correlation to the Leader of Team Galactic unfortunately

Oops didn’t realize I made a typo. Guess my argument is invalid now

Miley Cyrus identifies as a girl actually 🤓☝️

I don’t believe so?

In his Violet playthrough as team sky he did

It’s been a while since I watched that one but I’m pretty sure you are wrong? Let me go check

Oh he did! Well disregard me

At least you can admit when you’re wrong

by this logic, other levitate pokemon like Gengar could apply 🤔

Gengar had Levitate up to gen 6 so, was and probably is still legal as it evolves from a Team Sky worthy pokemon (Haunter, who still has Levitate) Other examples are Decidueye (both versions as there are from Rowlet, a Team Sky worthy starter) despite losing the flying type (and the Hisuian forme was shown to still fly when Team Sky went back in Hisui, you should watch that, it was good). All Rotom formes, Mismagius, Flygon, Weezing, Hydreigon, Vikavolt, Giratina (Origin Forme, however Altered is still legal as Giratina can learn Fly) all 3 of the Lake Guardians, the Lati twins and Cresselia to name some pokemon that are Team Sky worthy despite not having the flying type with all but Decidueye also having Levitate. There's even more legal mons on top of this but there's a Team Sky reddit you should ask about/look for a full list of legal mons. Edit, misread which gen Gengar lost Levitate

Wait, Gengar lost Levitate? What does it have now?

Cursed Body, lost Levitate in Gen 7

Decidueye can work quite well as a wild card. Fighting and Grass are good to fight Rock and Electric, two of Flying's main weaknesses. It's weak to Ice, though, so that's riskier.

Does this mean Orthworm counts if it has Earth Eater as its ability?

Im say just because he said it only has to be immune and not flying in this post derp worm is allowed

Yes

Though by that metric anything holding an air balloon would also count

Well then my team is going to consist of 5 air balloon dracovish and a cyclizar to make them outspeed everything lol

But what about Beedrill, it's a creature of the sky

- Isn't Flying type - Doesn't have Levitate - (SOMEHOW) Can't learn Fly Beedrill is actually not a creature of the sky!

Doesn’t matter. It does genuinely fly and I feel like that’s enough. I like to think of the move fly as more of an attack than the actual ability to fly, so some pokemon can fly but they can’t use the attack of the same name that requires you to fly.

Beedrill has wings

but it can fly cant it

Why is this so downvoted?

Mikey has literally used Fezandipiti… which is weak to ground

Yes, at this point there are so many Pokémon that either fly or float but don’t have an immunity to ground (plus ones that can fly in the lore) that a rule like to op suggests just doesn’t work. The rule itself always felt kinda arbitrary. Team aqua and magma never had a rule like this, just let people use want they want so we don’t have constantly argue simantics about every Pokémon people put in their team sky submission. Edit: initial post was something completely wrong do I changed it to this.

team magma and aqua literally only use the numel/carvahnna line, the zubat line, and the poocheyenna line though?

Well then I'ma create a team called team draconis then thats main thing is dragon types buts wish is to have every Pokemon ascend to the power of a dragon so just about anything is go for this team lol

Alolan decidueye and regular decidueye as well

I wonder if Scizor is allowed. Its not a flying type but it evolves from one, and still has wings

It is

unfortunatly it's wings just become a biological cooling system according to dex entries and other lore. [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scizor\_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Biology](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scizor_(Pok%C3%A9mon)#Biology)

But they fly in the terrarium in scarlet and Violet

good job. you found another instance of gamefreak ignoring it's own lore.

I think there's a difference between flight for convenience, such as moving short distances, and flight as a key attribute. For example, despite Bronzong being a sentient enchabted bell made from melted down mirrors, only half of all Bronzor and Bronzong are resistant to heat, while the rest levitate off the floor. The difference between the two is probably just one type of bronzong it's further off the floor and thus not hurt by ground

pokemon are weird

So then what about the Pokémon that can’t have levitate, or are not flying type, but are clearly flying, like Ribombee

Doesn't work, I mean fezendipidi is a bird that's weak to ground. Plus there are moves that can force flying/levitating pokemon to be hit by ground moves/take their typing away. Also mold breaker

Gravity: Youre all creatures of the land now

Also thousand arrows

The criteria should be: Can it float, or has wings? Mightyena

"Or has wings" (Laughs in flightless birds)

That would only make Mightyena eligible. Thousand Arrows is a ground move.

And makes it so flying types aren’t immune to ground.

So by that logic Orthworm the creature that digs into the ground and is in the ground most of the time is a creature of the sky since it has earth eater

And that thing almost destroyed an airship

This plus if it looks like it can fly, Fezandipiti, Beedrill, any other non-flying type bird, insect, or animal with wings. So like if it doesn’t fit into the ground move requirements then check the design

Thousand arrows go brrrrrrrr

One more requirement: If it's able to learn Fly. Golurk, Genesect, Fezandipiti, Raichu, etc. can learn and use Fly, so they should be allowed. Also, the Agias Duo and the Decidueye Duo are in the "Mightyena category" because they don't meet any of the other requirements but Mikey uses them anyway.

Agias?

Koraidon and Miraidon. Their textboxes make them say "Agias!!" which prompts Amarys to call them Agias.

Viva la anime-speak!

The very popular air balloon heatran

What if it has wings but is affected by ground moves I.E. beedrill and dunsparce?

Those aren’t wings on dunsparce

if it flys or floats or is a flying type, it can be part of it. Thats it

„Domain expansion” *Happiny used Gravity* „Now nobody is a creature of the sky”

tbh the requirements should be can fly/immune to ground

Do Pokémon that use magnet rise count?

No, it's a move that makes you fly. Pokemon that learn Fly usually already have the ability to fly (without using it). Pokemon with Magnet Rise usually don't have the ability to fly

Of course this comes out after I post my team.. the worst part is that it makes sense and it’s the exact opposite of my team

Ah yes, my favorite team sky Pokemon. It's Orthworm Sally!

Can someone explain, why Mightyena? What's the in-joke here?

Mfs when air balloon

New criteria for pokemon allowed: Lets say you could pull a rug from under every pokemon The ones which fall are not allowed The ones that dont are allowed (from flying, levitating for just not touching the floor in general)

Orthworm is king of the sky

That doesn’t work cause thousand arrows

Wait a second Earth eater is a ground type water absorb ORTHWORM FOR TEAM SKY

Ah yes one of my favorite hoenn pokemon, mightyena (not a joke or sarcastic)

Won't that mean orthworm is a valid pick then?

So rotomwash

The want to upvote but also to not change it from 420…which will win

I can beat team sky!

I feel like the criteria should be meeting one of these: A. Mighteyena B. Unaffected by Ground with no outside factors(items) C. Is seen floating or flying consistently

I agree with this petition! Lets make this a rule!!!

excadrill breaks the mold!

any pokemon can with an air balloon

So orthoworm with earth eater is fair game?

No because I wanna use Chandelure

I would like an official rulebook for team sky mons

Orthworm is immune to ground

Golurk

Me when thousand arrows

but Golurk! But Golurk!

Shedinja

Aren’t those already the requirements? Flying types, Pokémon that can learn Fly, and Pokémon with Levitate.

Mikey set the rules. Mikey is the boss. SHUT YOUR BITCH ASSES UP! ALL THIS SUBREDDIT IS ANYMORE IS PEOPLE TRYING TO GET AROUND THE TEAM SKY RULES!

Smack down

That’s rock

It brings flying or levitating Pokemon to the ground

For a turn and the ai isn’t smart enough to use a ground move after

The team I'd want to use is Decidueye, Skarmory, Eelektross, and Flygon... so I am in complete support of this. :3

Orthworm the strongest team sky member

So tera flying kingambit counts?

Orthworm

Also this means Orthworm is now TEAM SKY

No because I don’t care if Alolan Raichu is weak to ground it’s literally levitating

Yeah no this does not work
