Flying moves
All 24 Flying moves in Pokémon Dusk Reborn, with power, accuracy, PP, what each one does and how many Pokémon learn it.
Effect text comes from the game's move list and some of it is carried over from the main series. Battles here are one Pokémon against one, so wording about allies or adjacent Pokémon does not apply. The learner counts come from the main series and do not limit what you can teach in this game. See changing moves and using TMs.
